The real deal

This has been a running joke - actually since early this year when famouse philippino photographer with the AFP came to Singapore. His name is Romeo Gacad, and has been nominated for the pulitzer prize many times.
He also happens to look a lot like Ho Chi Minh himself, and is affectionately known to us photogs as "Uncle Ho". He's really humble and we love him for being him.
Some really funny quotes/jokes made during the ASEAN summit:
" When i walked into the market in Vietnam, all these old people stopped and started starring at me." - romy
" I didn't understand why until i went to the museum and saw the statue of Ho Chi Minh. I even got a discount." - romy
" You should have gone for a massage. They would have paid you!" - Bobby Coloma, romy's boss
