“She's so much prettier in person!” whispered the people who were able to come close to famous TV personality, Korina Sanchez Roxas, wife of presidential candidate Mar Roxas.
Korina was in Bacolod to deliver Mar's speech during the City's Charter Day program, held at SMX. She explained that Mar couldn't come to deliver his speech as he had to rush to the victims of typhoon Lando, who needed immediate assistance.
Up close, Korina is smaller than she appears on TV and her features are softer and lovelier. Clad in a simple black and white outfit, her hair tied back in a pony tail with light make-up on her face, she looked so much younger than her real age. Earlier that afternoon, she made an appearance and spoke briefly before a big crowd at the SM atrium for the MassKara healthy baby contest, where the South African Ambassador Marthinus Nicolaas Slabber and his wife, Sumarie, were the special guests.
Later that evening, we met her again during the dinner party hosted by Dr. Ver Lacson at his residence for his special guests. We were already having dinner when Korina arrived from a brief meeting with some of their people in Bacolod. Dr. Ver attended to her personally, urging her to partake of the mouthwatering creations that were especially prepared for their gustatory pleasure. We noticed that Korina preferred to have the crunchy delectable salad rather than the calorific dishes on the buffet. (No wonder she has such a slim figure!)
The guests had a terrific time posing for pictures with the lovely Korina. After all, they whispered, “she might be the First Lady one day”!*
