"Four more years," with a sweet photo of him and wife Michelle Obama
hugging. And Michelle also tweeted her support for her commander-in-chief
husband: "More than anything, I want to thank you all for everything. I am
so grateful to every one of you for your support and your prayers. –mo ."

concerned: I normally don't accept as friends on FB those who are known to be
running in the coming elections. Not that I am unfriendly, just trying to
maintain what I believe is FB's essential character - a social network where I
can interact with people close to my heart. Please understand.

As
I’ve been saying, Atty. Julius Gregory
Delgado aka the Running Lawyer is having the best of
both worlds.
As
Bared has been reporting in “scoop”
last week, Atty. Delgado has been spotted in Japan.
Of
course, Atty. Delgado is also enjoying his busy schedule as president of the association
of young Boholanos in Manila.
“While
in the land of Lapad, he was spotted at the Old City holding hands with a beautiful
Japanese girl while giggling and whispering sweet nothings into each other’s
ears. This Japanese told him a phrase from a famous song ’Anataga Hoshii, Anataga Hoshii,” said the roving aka sosyalan VRS. “Atty. Greg knows that
the song means “I like you and I love you.”
“Doy
Leo, I swear, I heard Atty. Greg whispered to the Japanese girl the words ’Ashte Masu’,” added VRS. “You should know that they are Japanese words
for ‘I love you’.”
However, the “short romance” between Atty. Greg and
the beautiful Japanese girl turned out to be as ephemeral as Cherry
Blossoms — you know, gone in the wink of an eye.
“He
has to leave Japan Ha! Ha! Ha!”
revealed VRS. “Who knows if they are communicating through Facebook?”
By
the way, the Japan visit was part of the yearly “vacation” of the members of Villaraza Cruz Marcelo Angangco,
officially known as CVC Law or simply "The Firm," the country's top
litigation law firm. They had a break from their rigorous work for their annual
RnR abroad. Two of the members of the Firm hail from Bohol, lawyers Elmar
Galacio of Valencia and Julius Gregory Delgado of Tubigon.
Atty. Delgado shared a glimpse of their trip to the Land of the Rising Sun - Japan. When people think of Japan, the country's capital Tokyo immediately comes to mind. Unbeknownst to many, it is not the ancient capital of Japan. It is Kyoto which used to be the seat of power and culture of Japan.

Atty.
Julius Gregory Delgado has experienced Japan’s past perfect as it preserves
time-honored traditions and country hospitality.

Japan
is home to the world's largest urban metropolis, rugged wilderness, and a
culture steeped in ancient tradition, Japan is a travelers dream.
For the first day of the trip, the CVC Group visited the Golden Pavilion and the Nijo Castle which used to be the seat of Japan's government. The day ended with a hearty dinner which includes the delicious (and expensive) Kobe Beef at a local restaurant. For the second day, the lawyers visited the Todaji Temple at Nara which house the biggest Buddha Bronze Statue and spent the afternoon at Osaka visiting the Castle of Shogun Tokugawa, Umeda Tower and Dotonbori. They also visited the Fushimi Inari Shrine where scenes of the Memoirs of a Geisha were shot. The day ended with a Keiseke, a full course Japanese dinner. The third and last day was a free day and Atty. Delgado spent his day at the Mecca of Motorsports, the Suzuka Circuit near Nagoya.
After the official trip of the firm, Atty. Delgado dropped by Hong Kong, his second visit to the city. In 2007, Atty. Delgado was part of the Philippine Team which competed in an International Law Moot Court Competition. While it rained for two days, it did not prevent Atty. Delgado and his two fellows to enjoy their brief visit at the former British colony.

Atty.
Julius Gregory Delgado has become a samurai warrior in Japan. Samurai leaders wore
fierce masks and horned helmets. All lived by a code that valued death over
defeat.

Back
from his trip abroad, Atty. Delgado will visit Bohol to attend the meeting of Bohol Football Association. He will
bring a trophy for a local tournament organized in honor of former Bohol
Football Director Allan Dinsay of University
of Bohol who just passed away. The Bohol Football Team has a plan to rename the
trophy, the Allan Dinsay Cup. He
will also attend the meeting of the Bohol
Highlands Gun Club in Tubigon Firing Range, a range in a hill overlooking
Cebu-Bohol sea….and, ehem, share his pasalubong! He! He! He!
Atty.
Delgado’s cup runneth over.
