RENE SAGUISAG

LOLIT Sanchez, the patient and gracious widow of Bobbit, is gone. Bobbit was a Con-Con delegate, labor secretary and a lawyer who obtained nearly 92 percent in the bar in 1954 (eldest brother of Eddie, our Rizal Hi valedictorian, who topped the board exams in chemical engineering). Bobbit was the only one who could have led and managed MABINI, with its hambog at palalong mga bilib-sa-sarile kasapi, at its incipiency. I am reminded that behind every great man, is a woman, and that was Lolit, who supported Bobbit in his many daring out-of-the-box advocacies. I paid my last respects Monday last to my Pasig townsman. Traffic was a breeze, thanks to Asean, which would not touch human rights with a hundred-foot pole, however.
