(leonardo da vinci,leonardo da vinci paintings) Counting baluts and ballots (Manila Bulletin)

Milan, Italy — The Italians, heirs of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and the Renascimiento, have design and fashion as second nature. But just once before the turn of the millennium, the late Eli Pinto Mansour exhibited CITEM’s hotest designers Movement 8 starring Kenneth Cobonpue and gave the Italians a scare at the Cologne Furniture Fair. A cynic said that the locals go to church four times in a lifetime – on baptism, first communion, Christmas Day, and at funeral. The Duomo Milan cathedral is one of the most beautiful edifices, and here you find OFWs. Comelec Chairman Melo may not begrudge the Samahan ng Mga Sabungeros a party-list seat after he accepted a lady party-list representative for the balut vendors. The power of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper was not the mystery of Transubstantiation (bread and wine turning into Corpus Christi) but of Jesus’ prophesy that one of His disciples would betray Him.
