PHOTO
OF THE WEEK
Face to Face
Two teenagers stare
nonchalantly at a life-size wax statue of the late dictator Ferdinand
Marcos in his mausoleum in Batac, Ilocos Norte (471 kms. north of Manila).
They are Bab-bab and Bugan, great-grandchildren of the famed Ibaloi
warrior Kustacio Carantes, who served as liaison officer to Gen. Emilio
Aguinaldo, President of the First Philippine Republic, more than a hundred
years ago. Marcos’ tourism-oriented programs in Tuba, Itogon, and other
towns in Benguet province displaced many Cordillera residents, a number of
them relatives of Bab-bab and Bugan. Their travel to Batac brings the
children face to face with a likeness of the deposed strongman, whose
family is reportedly involved in deals with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
to have his remains finally buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’
Cemetery)
