As soon as Little Dynamo arrived at the house this afternoon, he was excitedly asked by his nanny:
“Are you going to vote for Gibo?”
Little Dynamo nonchalantly answered:
“No. I only shake hands with him.”
He actually did. He was clueless as to who this man was in his Lolo’s office. Gibo below pointing to Little Dynamo saying:
“Naka-green ka” [...]
