In the Cebu Daily News published today:
He boarded a trisikad when he visited the Dumanjug municipal hall shortly afternoon yesterday.
Although dressed in a t-shirt and denim pants, people scampered to meet the young Briton and
have their picture taken with him.
Is he really Prince Harry, the youngest son of The Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales?
Dumanjug Mayor Cesar Baricuatro had the impression that his visitor was a member of the Royal family.
"If he is indeed Prince Harry. I'll be very proud that he visited our place," Baricuatro told CDN in a phone
interview last night.
Baricuatro said that word spread in his town of the prince's visit a few days ago.
He was gold that Harry was part of a gorup of about 20 teenagers, most Tagalog speaking, who are helping
to repaint the classrooms of the Dumanjug Central School.
Nobody know where he spend the night since he is brought and fetched to and from the school by a private
vehicle.
The others have set up tents on the school grounds where they sleep, said Baricuatro.
Baricuatro said he finally met the "prince" when Harry paid him a courtesy call yesterday afternoon.
Harry was accompanied by a certain Eric who spoke Tagalog.
The prince and his companion arrive at the municipal hall on board a trisikad.
He said he asked his visitor how he should address the Briton.
"Just call him Harry," said Eric told the mayor.
Baricuatro said he tried to ask Harry about their visit and offered to hold a party for his group, but
his visitor gave brief replies like "yeah and "no".
Eric also apologized that they were able to make the courtesy call yesterday since they were busy with
preparation and the repainting.
Baricuatro said that Eric nor Harry did not ask for anything from him. Eric had just told him that they
wanted to be left alone so that could continue their work.
Their conversation was cut short because the crowd including his family members started to gather in his
office to catch a glimpse of his visitor and have their pictures taken with him.
Harry obliged to the request of his the mayor's family of a souvenir shot. The prince even carried the
mayor's two-year-old daughter Alexia.
