CEBU, Philippines - Today is the 108th birth anniversary of Lady Josefina Rivera Gullas.
Lovingly called Inday Pining, the Gullas matriarch is the woman behind the University of the Visayas and was the inspiration of The Freeman Chairman Jose “Dodong†R. Gullas in the revival of the UV Chorale and the establishment of the JRG Halad Museum.
“It was Mama Pining who first organized the UV Choir. I hope she is happy that I revived the group and that the UV Chorale has achieved international fame,†Gullas said.
Dodong and his siblings, Cebu First District Representative Eduardo “Eddie†R. Gullas and Gliceria “Inday Sering†Gullas Lucero, have made their respective marks in the Cebuano community.
