REP. Rufus Rodriguez of the city’s 2nd District yesterday said he was disappointed, and wrote to Binibining Pilipinas Charities chairperson Stella Marquez-Araneta because Cagayan de Oro was not been included in Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach’s homecoming intinerary this month.
Wurtzbach, who considers the city as a hometown because she spent her younger years living here, is scueduled to return to the country this Jan. 23.
Rodriguez said he was disappointed because Wurtzbach’s itinerary included a “grand” parade, press conference, charity work, a courtesy call in Malacanang, in the Senate and in the House of the Representatives but no visit to Cagayan de Oro. She then leaves the country on the 29th.
“While I understand that her stay in the country will only be for a short time, her visit to Cagayan de Oro would definitely enhance her experience, and she will feel the love of her fellow Kagay-anons who will certainly roll the red carpet for her,” reads part of Rodriguez’s letter to Araneta.
He said it would disappoint many people if Wurtzbach doesn’t visit the city.
“Bisag half day lang,” Rodriguez told this paper.
Araneta has yet to reply to Rodriguez’s letter.
