CLARK FREEPORT – “This is no way to honor a great Kapampangan, more so a former president widely hailed in his time as ‘incorruptible.’”
Thus, was written here describing the cracked, chipped, soot- and dust-coated monument of President Diosdado P. Macapagal at the corner of the eponymous highway and M.A. Roxas Highway here on Oct. 14.
Three days after Punto! exposed what it dubbed as “Monumental neglect” by the Clark Development Corp., workmen on Tuesday, Oct. 17, swarm all around the landmark, giving it a fresh coat of paint, and pruning the ornamental hedges and shrubs. Before photo of the monument below. Punto Roving Team.
