Cotton and the Chancellor
at Lakad-Gunita (a walk to remember, translation with apologies)
The Chancellor discussed the history of the relocation of the flagship campus of the University of the Philippines from war-ravaged Manila to the wilds of Diliman in 1948, culminating in a motorcade-march that accompanied the transfer of the original Oblation to U.P. Diliman on Feb. 11, 1949. He then proceeded to elaborate on the current initiatives of U.P. Diliman, including a “Wellness and Stress-reduction program” … on cue, Cotton walked up to the Chancellor onstage… and…
sat for him…

Cotton and Khrysta (android-shot two hours ago, after Cotton, on cue when the Chancellor talked about the U.P. Diliman wellness program, walked to the Chancellor onstage then sat looking at him beneath kleig lights while the Chancellor delivered his message at tonight’s Lakad-Gunita launch.).
In the daytime, Cotton goes to the Quezon Hall grounds (University administration building grounds), then at the end of the day, he goes to the U.P. College of Mass Communication grounds. (don’t ask me why — that’s his routine).
Students, faculty, and staff who have frazzled nerves from work, deadlines, and requirements find him soothing and friendly.
And so, the Chancellor, as part of one of his groundbreaking initiatives, the “Wellness and Stress-Reduction Program” of U.P. Diliman, enlisted fitness specialists, wellness therapists, guidance counselors, and yes, Cotton.
You can see him welcoming you in his new maroon or violet collar as part of the wellness team.
