Vincent Cabreza, Inquirer’s Northern Luzon Bureau got quotes from my naughty Igorot entry. As usual, the article doesn’t have a link back. The article was intended for print and when it was uploaded online, nobody was tasked to ensure that the article linked to its sources. Oh, well.
According to BIBAKNets, the statue is no longer on display. Sayang, it was a clever way of telling patrons “CR this way” jut like a smoker has a “no smoking” sign in his room, pa naman sana. Sarcasm is a brand of humor that finds it hard to fly. (Customer:Sa’n yung CR dito? Guard:Ser, dun sa may bawal umihi, pag nakita nyo po, liko kayo tapos diretso lang…)
And it reminded me of how the statue of Our Lady of EDSA was redone so that its strong Asian facial features became the usual meek Caucasian. Kasi yun ang gusto ng mga churchgoers. And the sculptor’s vision was destroyed.
