      Nang makausap ko si Justo sa telepono, halos memoryado pa niya ang kanyang mga sinulat noong 1970s halimbawa'y: BAGO mag-Martial Law, may isang aktor, kaguwapong aktor na may bagong tsikot noon.
      When I talked with Justo on the telephone, he almost knew those he wrote on the 1970, for example: BEFORE Martial Law is declared, there was an actor, a very handsome actor who have a new car that time.
