When Julia Campbell was killed in Ifugao, the Philippine government moved heaven and earth to be of significance.
Gloria Arroyo, with her trademark faux sympathy, said something like: “We will give 110% to help her and her family. We will do everything we can.” Hundreds of Cordillera police officers were sent to Ifugao to look for Julia. Some organization wanted to build her a statue. And Congress officially honored her as a hero.
