SunStar + March 04, 2021 Whatever little I have gained in life, I owe in large part to the University of the Visayas. The University opened many doors for me: to education, journalism, the law and teaching. I would not have gone far in college without the scholarship that I enjoyed throughout my seven years, three in liberal arts and four in law school. I was close to both Gullas brothers. Sir Eddie became my law partner after he stepped down as Cebu governor, but I was closer to Sir Dodong first because it was him that I dealt with most of the time while his brother was in politics. We spoke a lot, did business once and collaborated on the University’s sports program. I learned a lot from him and even more importantly about him.
