I first met Chris Millado when I was still a newbie lifestyle reporter working for a newspaper based in Intramuros.
Back then, I would cover the arts and culture beat, which entailed writing stories about what was happening at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Don’t get me wrong. Working under CBM was challenging and at the same time, it was fulfilling. I learned a lot working with him. After graduation, they led separate lives until they met again at the CCP. They started working together in the Outreach Department, where they were assigned to expand and develop the training programs.Yonzon, meanwhile, remembers working with CBM back when he was the head of the Performing Arts Department .
“We had to explain the government procedural system. But now, he learned the ropes. He finally understood that when he became the artistic director, even value it. Later on, we found ways to improve the system,” shared Yonzon. “The expansion we went through under his leadership in Cinemalaya. There’s also the Virgin Labfest. We were able to bring the playwrights, involving them in the theater production. Usually, it is the director who chooses and does all the work, but through the VLF, playwrights have a voice,” said Rances.“He brought in a heavy belt to the post. I can’t imagine anyone succeeding him. It would be presumptuous for anyone to think he can fill up that big shoe,” said Yonzon.
