𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨. Higit na kilala bilang si Vico Sotto. Noong 2016, bilang independent candidate, sinubok niyang tumakbo sa pagka City Councilor ng Pasig at pinalad na manalo’t napahanay sa City Council upang representahan ang boses ng mga tagaunang distrito ng lungsod.

Nagtapos ng kursong Bachelor of Arts major in Political Science sa Ateneo de Manila noong 2011, bago sumubok na pumalaot sa pulitika'y nagturo muna siya bilang Lecturer sa Arellano University. Isang master's degree holder, noong 2018 ay pinalad na maging kabilang sa matagumpay na mga gradwado ng Ateneo School of Government, dito'y nagtapos siya ng kanyang Master of Arts in Public Management.

Anak ng pamoso’t beteranong actor-host-comedian 𝐕𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨 at host-actress 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬, ang magiting na alkaldeng ito ng Pasig na si Vico Sotto ay unang iniluklok ng mga Pasigeño sa silya ng liderato sa kanilang City Hall upang pamunuan ang buong lungsod noong eleksiyon sa taon 2019. Siya ang kauna-unahang elected mayor na bumuwag sa humigit-kumulang dalawampu’t pitong taon na dinastiya ng mga kilalang angkan na sa bansag ng karamihang Pasigeño ay nagkakaugat na sa political arena, ang mga Eusebio. Nasa pangatlo at panghuling termino na ngayon si Vico bilang alkalde ng Pasig City. At, kamakailan lamang, lumabas ang napakagandang resulta buhat sa Philippine Senate Race Survey [ng Manila Bulletin] kung saan naiulat na si Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto ang dominado sa pagkasenador sa 2028 national elections. Sa naturang survey na isinagawa kamakailan lamang sa pamamagitan ng Tangere Research Firm [isa po itong non-commission firm], nakuha ni Vico Sotto ang kabuuang 61% voter preference ng pre-election kung saan, ang pumapangalawa sa kanya na si Raffy Tulfo ay mayroong 55.26 percent na ang malalaking boto ay tinatayang magbubuhat sa mga probinsya ng Rizal, Laguna, Bulacan, Cavite, at sa Metro Manila. Sa nasabing resulta, si Vico Sotto ang lumalabas na nangungunang kandidato sa labimpitong mga rehiyon sa bansa para sa pagkasenador at tinatayang maaari pang lumampas ng 30 million votes ang kanyang makukuha.

Sa Philippine Montessori Center ibinuhos ni Vico ang maagang mga taon ng kanyang pre-schooling habang ang kanyang grade schooling at high school ay binuno niya sa Brent International School.

𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐔𝐩𝐨𝐧 -- As What French Ruler Napoleon Bonaparte Assumed and Had a Confidence In.

𝑴𝒚 𝑰𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔:
Some people identify themselves as an element of a story because, for them, they are part of history. As such, they figure out that history is the story of who they are and where they emanate from. That idea is much paralleled to the point of view of the famous American historian David McCullough, as he says, to quote: “𝑯𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆.”

“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒔, 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒆, 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓.”- Albert Camus, French-Algerian author

On the other hand, if people want to figure out the basic elements of history, I am sure, they would probably not to get perceive, through a quick means, the said answerable historical account unless they have to examine, or may be investigate, those stories in the past. The famous American novelist Pearl S. Buck once said, “𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝒚𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚.” Never mind if history is a set of lies but agreed upon -- as what French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte assumed and have confidence in.

Essentially, the world around us has been reminding us to recall the past stories regardless if that field of topic has something to do with arts, theater, politics, the Royal blood feud and controversies, about economics, sports, film, music, vendetta and war, and many more. The most important is, that prompting and hark backing are surely telling us in understanding ourselves by looking back at previous events. For instance, just like this narrative account which I’ve produced for my ‘Historia Grande’ special featured regarding the “mystery” [actually, most of the compendiums’ fanatics termed and considered this as one of those great "controversies"]. Here is the excerpt from the full story of my ‘Historia Grande’…

The world history discloses that in England, during the fleeting and transitory skimp of the said nation to be recognized as a Republic, there was once a country’s “human shield and stout defender” [as they coined the term], and he was the 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥. Opposite to that quotation above that I’ve borrowed from the great Napoleon Bonaparte, this time the history doesn’t tell a lie. Inside a private compendium-museum, Oliver Cromwell’s 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅-𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅 was displayed as a part of collections and to be viewed for the coming spans and eras. Is it an art collection, or a posthumous ex*****on as Cromwell was posthumously executed just to enact for a revenge?

[Note Bene: the full story could be flicked through @ my “’The Double Kill’ In The Name of Art and Royal Kill List!”]

𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐀, 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 “𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬” - - Geese sa English, sa mga Tagalog, Cebuano at Ilonggo, ang tawag nila’y Gansa.

“𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒊𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒐𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒈𝒎𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒈𝒂 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒐 𝒔𝒂 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓 𝒖𝒈 𝒃𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒏 𝒏𝒂 𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊 𝒔𝒂 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒂 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝑽𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒊 𝒏𝒂𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒉𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒅𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒊𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒂…” - Higalang Jimmy [JND Boy Achas]

Kakat’wa na maski pala gansa o geese ay itinuturing na outstanding flying birds. Sa nasagasaan kong published article, inilathala ng ‘Bird Life’ [“The Altitude Records of Geese That Every Birdwatcher Should Know”], binanggit na may isang bar-headed goose na nabansagang undisputed king of high-altitude, “… 𝑨𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒍𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝟐𝟗,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒕 (𝟖,𝟖𝟒𝟎 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔).

At malalaman n’yo ngayon, tuloy lang sa pagbabasa…

Bunsod ng angkin nilang natural at protektibong pakiramdam at instinct, ang mga gansa o geese na ‘ata ang pinakamahusay na guard animals [actually’y nakahanay sila sa klasipikasyon ng mga ibon]. Totoo ba na lalamangan nila sa kabansagan o titulong ito ang mga 𝑲𝟗 𝑫𝒐𝒈𝒔 at 𝑫𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏? Marahil, depende sa antas ng pinag-uusapan. Kung sa labanan at mga panganib, siyempre’y sa mga K9 dogs tayo mas boto.
Subalit kung ang pag-uusapan naman ay may kaugnayan sa pagiging [bilang] mga bantay, kahit na sila’y tulog ay nananatili silang aktibong nakamatyag bukod sa angking di mapapantayang paningin kumpara sa iba. Habang sila’y tulog, nananatiling aktibo ang kalahating bahagi ng kanilang utak at sa katotohanan ay sila lamang ang nakakaaninag ng kahit mga ultraviolet lights at yaong mga pinakapinong bagay o mga guhit at kudlit sa dilim ay hindi napapalampas ng eyesight nilang sobrang detalyado.

Ang ganitong katangian ay talagang sa mga gansa o geese lamang matatawag na sobrang exceptional! At sa ganitong punto’y di sila kaparis ng mga K9 dogs na sangkap at kumpleto sa trainings dahil ang katangian nilang ito ay hindi na nangangailangan ng pagsasanay o suson-susong ensayo bunsod nga sa kadahilanang natural at taglay na nilang katangian ang ganito.

Ang mga gansa o geese pa lamang ang itinuturing sa mga kampo ng military na napakaepektibong protector dahil sa angkin nilang pagiging alerto, maliksi, at bukod sa pagiging tapat sa mga “amo” ay kaagad-agad na nag-iingay -- kahit na tulog ang mga ito -- sa anumang sandaling may mapapakiramdaman silang kahit na napakahinang anas.

At dito iikot ang artikulong ito -- sa kung paano ginagamit ng mga sundalo bilang epektibong “security guards” o guard geese sa mga garrison sa Vietnam at iba pang military camps ang mga gansa o geese. Mababanggit ang hinggil sa military camp at estratehiyang pangdepensa, ang nasabi kong punto’y may susog buhat sa ‘Veteran Life’ [Military History] sa pamamagitan ng komprehensibong artikulo ni Olivia Rigby, “The Military’s Guard Geese May Have Saved Countless Lives”: “𝑯𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒈𝒆𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍, 𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑼.𝑺. 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝑾𝒂𝒓.

Sa “The Story Behind the US Military's Cold War-Era Goose Platoons” na inakda ng batikang writer-historian na si Blake Stilwell para sa ‘Military’ [2022], binanggit niya na ang mga gansa o geese ay lumikha na ng angking kasaysayan sa matapat na panunungkulan ng mga ito sa Puwersa ng Kasundaluhan maging noon pang kapanahunan ng Pamahalaan ng mga Romano [Roman Republic] sa Roma. Sa isa diumanong labanan noon, “𝑨𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝟑𝟗𝟎 𝑩𝑪,” ayon kay Stilwell, “𝒂 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒏 𝑰𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒊𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂 𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝟏𝟎 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇,” sa pagkakatukoy niya sa maeksenang salaysay buhat sa isang nagngangalang Livy na itinuturing sa kasaysayan ng Roma at buong mundo bilang isa sa mga tanyag na ancient historian. "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒇𝒖𝒍,” idinagdag ni Stilwell, “𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒍 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒈𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈."

Ang kabayanihan ng mga gansa o geese, na pinahalagahan ng kasaysayan ng digmaan sa Roma at pinagkalooban pa nga ng higit na pagpapahalaga sangalan ng kagitingan, ay idinetalye’t malinaw na nabigyang-deskripsiyon ni Stilwell sa ganitong pangungusap: “𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐠𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞.”

Kung paanong nalikha ng katadhanaan sa kabila ng madugong digmaan ang ganitong makulay at makasaysayang imahe ng mga gansa o geese, ang mahaba-habang eksena ay nang dahil dito: “𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒂𝒖𝒍𝒔, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆.

With my pride, so to speak, 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐑Ó𝐒𝐈𝐎, as she was progressed and staged on both fashion and runway modelling through the promotion and publicity of the prestigious 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂’𝒔 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕, had been “tagged” as one of those company’s “𝑰𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝑭𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒔”. The said company [VS] was founded by the couple Roy-Gaye [Raymond] in 1977. This company is so much famous for its beauty, clothing and lingerie outlets even before the time in which five of its lingerie shops were offered in 1982, and then sold, to the great “lover of fashion” named Les Wexner. Became the largest lingerie outlets in the United States, the Victoria’s was swelling its company into not less than 350 retailers as prompt as 1990.

Anyway, speaking of 𝑷𝑰𝑵𝑲 line, if we speak on this trademark or brand, most of the “fashionista and fashionisto” could immediately describe this with an abstract contrast of the history background as the color pink had been clouded of what-so-called “a controversy” -- but with an unlimited fascination for the fashion lovers. It was in 2002 when the company, the Victoria’s, made its launching of PINK: this was their brand as they levelled new costumers, specifically the young women and teenagers. And again, the iconic Alessandra had also been a “𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍” of the said brand and her name, fame, as well as the peak of her fashion modelling career became “ magnificent" on both runway modelling and fashion dresses as Victoria’s Secret, through the brand PINK, successfully expanded its retail outlets internationally just after six months. Their expansions fumbled up to Canada and the United Kingdom with retail outlets and franchises in major cities as well as within the vicinity of various international airports. Let me quote, according to Lofficiel Monaco: “𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔, 𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

And here is 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚, the great Brazilian fashion model and “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒑𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝑺’ 𝑷𝑰𝑵𝑲 𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒆” whose bonds of modelling triumphs were also fostered by other prestigious fashion houses in the vein of Ralph Lauren, Armani, Next, and Christian Dior. One of the icons in the fashion industry, way back 2004 up to 2008, Alessandra had been often alluded by various published featured articles as “𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅'𝒔 𝑺𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏”. To recall, in the year 2007 she was unanimously chosen as one of those “𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅", published by the People’s Annual listings, as she was tagged as an “Angel” [the term as referred to the Victoria’s Secret Angel] while the Forbes’ listed her as “𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕-𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝑭𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒔” [Rank 5] with an estimated earnings of not less than $6.6 million each year.

𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐈𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜, 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐢 𝐬𝐚 𝐂é𝐬𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝! - True-to-Life Story ng Iisang Tao sa Dalawang Naglalabang Pelikula, Anong Bersiyon Kaya ang Panalo?

Napapaangat-kilay ang ibang mga kritiko [film critics] nang mabatid nila na sa bersiyon ng directorial ship ni Bertrand Bonello, isa sa mismong character ng nasabing biopic na talagang may kaugnayan sa protagonista [in fact, malaya ang mga niulat o published articles na siya ay former lover at business partner ng bida], ang napabalitang hindi diumano tumulong para mai-promote ang nasabing pelikula. [“𝑩𝒖𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒂𝒚, 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒓 𝒂 𝒃𝒖𝒛𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 “𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆” 𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒘, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑷𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒈é, 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒀𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑳𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒄 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂.”]

Linawin natin: ang bersiyon ni 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 on screen ay may pamagat na “𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭” habang ang kay 𝑱𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒍 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕’s biofilm ay pinamagatan niyang “𝐘𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭”. Bagama’t nasa magkaparehong kuwento ang dalawang bersiyon, hindi maikukubling nagkakaiba lamang sa approach ng pagkamalikhain ng nasabing dalawang filmmakers depende sa kung paano nila nilikha ang kanilang obra based on the true-to-life story of the world’s one of the greatest and iconic fashion designers, si 𝐘𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓.

Si Laurent ay binansagang isang revolutionary fashion designer sa kanyang panahon. Sa gayon, ang biopic film hinggil sa kanya [lalong-lalo na ang buhat sa Bonello’s version] ay nasusuri ng ilang film critics bilang lihis diumano sa talagang pinapaksa samantalang ang extra version na nagbuhat sa filmmaker na si Lespert ay nasisilip nilang isang kabaligtaran ng kay Bonello, “… 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍-𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕-𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒄 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒐𝒇 𝑱𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒍 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒈é 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏,” sabi pa. Ang nasabing obra on screen ni Lespert ay ini-released din noong 2014 sa maraming mga sinehan sa Pransiya.

Sa katotohanan, ang bersiyon ni Lespert sa na itinampok niya bilang conventional drama ay lumikha ng mga sorpresang mga paghanga’t papuri ng madla, ang sabi pa: “… 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕’𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒑 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒖𝒑 𝒐𝒃𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒌𝒖𝒅𝒐𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝑷𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒚, 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒆, 𝒃𝒂𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅-𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈-𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝑪é𝒔𝒂𝒓’𝒔.”

Sa personal kong pagkakalarawan, si 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐲, na isang French actor at nagwagi ng César Award’s trophy para sa pagka Best Actor dahil sa magnipiko niyang nagniningning na pagsasabuhay sa nabanggit na revolutionary fashion designer, ay nagkaroon ng kanyang acting debut noong 2007 sa pamamagitang ng magkasunod na dalawang bahagi ng miniseries na “La Dame d'Lzieu”. Bukod sa kanyang pagiging movie actor, si Niney ay isa ring manunulat-iskriprayter. Sa mga pamilyar sa kanya, kung maaalala’y siya ang sumulat ng kuwento para sa “Fiasco” noong 2024 kung saan ang nasabing piyesa’y iprinodyus para sa Netflix. Sa nasabi ring taon, siya’y nasa pangunahing tauhan sa “The Count of Monte Cristo” nang gampanan niya ang papel ni Edmond Dantès. Pagkatapos no’ng film debut niya sa 2007, nang sumunod na taon ay isinalang kaagad siya sa kamera para sa kasunod niyang film project, ang “LOL” [Laughing Out Loud] na sinundan din kaagad ng kanyang “The Army of Crime” noong 2009, at saka ang kanyang 2010’s “Romantics Anonymous” at “Just Like Brothers” sa taon 2012.

Ang “dagliang kudlit” ko sa pananaw sa Islam [Islamic view] at ng Christians batay sa Genesis at ng Quran. Maaaring siya nga ang sinasabing Lot sa Genesis [Lumang Tipan] at ang Lūṭ (Arabic: لُوط – Lūṭ) sa Quran na mapagtagni-tagni ng maraming historians, theologians, at Bible experts na iisang nilalang lamang [sa terminolohiya ng ibang authors ay tinatawag nilang character/karakter dahil diumano sa ito’y maikokonsiderang isa ring story bagama’t ang kaibahan ay nasa Bible lamang at Quran] na isinalaysay ng detalyado sa Hebrew Bible: Ang Mensahero ng Diyos at ang Propeta ng Panginoon. Sa salaysay, diumano, sa ika-16 na siglo, noong inabandona niya ang siyudad [iniwan] ay isinama niya sa pag-alis ang kanyang mga anak na babae. Habang ang kanyang kabiyak ay namatay at naging isang batong asin sa kabila ng paalala na "𝑯𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒈 𝒏𝒂 𝒉𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒐𝒏." Sa pananaw sa Islam, siya ang Lut na pamangkin ni Abraham [Ibrahim] na kasama nitong huli sa pagdayo nila sa Canaan, nanirahan sa bulubunduking bahagi ng Bethel, at hanggang sa siya’y itinurong maging propeta sa bantog na dalawang lungsod sa kasaysayan, ang sinasabing Gomorrah at ang S***m. Sa angkla ng salinlahi at habang patuloy na nababanggit ang salaysay may kaugnayan sa ating kanuno-nunuan, siya, si Lot [o Lūṭ] ang ninuno ng mga kaaway ng mga taga-Israel na dili iba’t ang Moabites at Ammonites. Isinilang siya mula sa "dugo at binhi" ni Haran at pumanaw nang siya’y nasa Ur Kaśdim na sa Chaldees, iyan ang sinasabi sa Hebrew Bible. No’ng dumating ang taggutom, napilitang maglakbay patungong Ehipto si Lot kasama ng tiyuhin niyang si Abraham. Subalit, ang isa sa naging bahagi ng mas kasukdulan at nakakaangat-kilay sa salaysay ay noong minsang “kailangang magsinungaling” ni Abraham at nang siya’y kinumpronta ng Pharaoh matapos nitong mabalitaan na ang asawa niyang si Sarai ay isa palang nilalang na ubod ng ganda! Na sa simula, nagkunyari si Abraham na ito ay hindi raw niya asawa bagkus ay pinapalabas niya na kanyang kapatid kagaya ng ating mababasa sa Henesis 12:10 hanggang sa13:1. - RCQ
