Our newly elected Governor who bested 3 incumbent officials for Batangas' highest post won't ring a bell for many young ones who don't remember anything before Facebook, but for many old timers, he was a three term Governor who institutionalized Scholarships at the Provincial Capitol then continued it when he became a three term congressman.
But who is he really? Let's delve into tidbits about our re-elected governor not found on Wikipedia.
For this info we asked our source, a former colleague of his at a special order called "the work".
According to our source, Gov Dodo, or HIM as he is called was a primary mover of the religious group called "Opus Dei" not just here in the Philippines but Asia wide. During his first three terms as Governor the worst thing they could say about Gov Dodo was that he was unmarried.
That wouldn't be surprising because at that time he was living in an Opus Dei center which is the equivalent of a seminary for the Opus Dei. Not only did he live like a Priest in a community full of religious men but he never received his salary as Governor! Yes, you heard that right. One of the many reasons he was able to make a comeback was because even back then people saw the guy wasn't attached to the material world. He just gave his salary to his scholars.
Can you imagine your governor or congressman living simply in a seminary?
What else do we have about Ka Dodo? Wait manyana for More on Mandanas!
