Remember, remember, the first of September.
Exactly one year ago on this day, two lives, young, in love, still in the middle of making a difference, were snuffed out, taken away abruptly, without warning, leaving a scar in the worldspace they were meant to occupy.
Alexis Tioseco, film critic and founder and editor-in-chief of Criticine, an online journal devoted to the intelligent discussion of Southeast Asian cinema, and his girlfriend Nika Bohinc, also an established film journalist, were gunned down in Tioseco’s house. He was 28. She was 30.
A year later, that scar is still open, ragged, raw, unhealing.
