Veteran journalist Amando Doronila, 95

AMANDO E. Doronila, regarded as the Philippines', if not one of the region's, most succinct sociopolitical observers, passed away Friday in Australia. He was 95 years old.

He died 'serenely,' according to his oldest child Agustin, who broke the news to The Manila Times — a publication Doronila wrote an evening column for in the '60s until Martial Law was declared.
