Sugbo without Gwen
Monday, August 4th, 2008“THERE will be a photo exhibit at the Capitol tomorrow to mark the Province’s 439th Founding Anniversary. Please come.” My reaction to the invitation was one of horror. “Oh God,” I said. “She’s doing it again!”
I’m familiar with those images: Gwen climbing the Capitol dome, Gwen riding a horse, Gwen dancing the Sinulog, Gwen hearing mass, Gwen shaking hands with Vidal, Gwen shaking hands with inmates, Gwen eating lechon, Gwen playing patintero, Gwen kissing children, Gwen hugging the elderly and the poor and the widow and the dirty. Gwen at work. Gwen at play. Gwen in her poster perfect best.
