Marilinda “Malen” Claravall is a simple and unassuming woman, full of joy and energy, and a passion for dance. I had to coax her into allowing me to write about her for her forthcoming ballet concert, “Snow White and Other Dances,” at the Theater at Solaire on May 28, for which she has asked seat sponsorship for orphans, the elderly, special children and PWDs.
By now the news of Ma. Dolores “Bibsy” M. Carballo’s passing is all over the entertainment industry, where she gave vent to her various talents spanning almost five decades. She was a writer (pre-martial law Sunday Times magazine), award-winning documentary and TV writer, talent manager (from Jackie Lou Blanco to Dawn Zulueta), entertainment columnist (Philippine Star).
