i sincerely hope this is just a lame excuse to malign a juridical person, at least if ever cardinal santos or dr. J. T.( if its there really as such a Dr ) sue madam N. Blanco ( or is it Nida Blanca, gosh Patay na yun ah?! ), she if ever convicted could pay damages ( sana hindi 15 thou, that would really be IRONIC ). " Podium"????? Hmmm. sounds familiar that smells like a Fish... as i remember Medical City has a private clinic in that certain place. hindi kya ang gumawa ng letter nato ay......whatever.
