Our regular readers are already aware that the Corregidor Foundation Inc has had a change of personnel, and with it no doubt, a change of direction. What does this mean for our community college of Corregidor students and buffs?
Short answer: Beats me.
The announced head of CFI is former Tourism undersecretary, Ms. Cynthia Carrion-Norton. If you google her, you find an significant number of self-promotional references to her many achievements - president Advantage Sports & Leisure, Inc.; President at Golden Asian Holistic Medical Alliance, Inc.,Philippine Organization of Wellness Establishments & Resources, Inc. (POWER), Golden Asian Holistic Medical Alliance, Inc., Gymnastics Association of the Philippines, Chief Operating Officer Philippine Tourism Promotions Board 2009 – 2010 (1 year), Executive Director
Philippine Commission on Sports Scuba Diving (PCSSD)2003 – 2010 (7 years), Murdoch University Master of Business Administration (MBA).
You also find the Inquirer, of all people, designating her as a part of the Filipino elite. Check out this 2013 Inquirer product promo article, where she sets up her own clinic to promote a less controversial adult stem cell therapy in the Philippines. (Treatments starting at $17,000.)
Oops, here's a curious one. Cynthia Carrion is wang-wang personified | Pinoy Buzz
Wow, Paul Ford at Pinoy Buzz sure doesn't like her. (Whoever he is, he's clearly got an axe to grind.) He's traced her to being a classmate of former President Gloria M. Arroyo, and at some point, GMA's personal aerobics trainer. He classifies her as "the embodiment of everything P-Noy is against", which now that everyone in the Duterte Era is attacking P-Noy and everything he stood for, I guess that makes her "the embodiment of everything great."
Unfortunately for us, no where have I seen any mention of an interest in history, the preservation of heritage, or the protection of the Corregidor environment. Which is what Corregidor is supposed to be about, n'cest pas?
What I do know is that under the new CFI, accommodation other than in the Corregidor Inn has been closed down, the Corregidor Inn room rate is on the northside of 6,000 peso a night, and day trippers who arrive on Corregidor via banca are being told that bringing their own foodstuffs is verbotten. That's a cheap shot by me, sorry, because those are decisions from the office of Doris Teresa Magsaysay-Ho who recently spend big bucks on a charm bypass for the Corregidor Inn.
Come back Art, I love you more now than I ever didn't.
