“The spirit of the old Jovito Salonga is gone.” This was how Steve Salonga, 62, one of the five children of the man who was a staunch fighter of corruption and a most outspoken opponent of martial rule, described his ailing father.
When fashion designer John Galliano first set foot on Elephant Pepper, an old-fashioned safari camp in the beating heart of the African bush, his jaw dropped and his face froze upon catching sight of his “suite” for the next four nights.
