A Child’s Haven
When she accepted the position of president of Museo Pambata in 2019, Bambi Mañosa-Tanjutco knew exactly whom she wanted to be by her side: Sofia Zobel-Elizalde, her classmate since Grade One and partner in many projects. “Sofia understands me and my ideas,” she explains, encapsulating their relationship in a nutshell. “I jumped in right away when Bambi invited me to join Museo because she always does things so well,” Sofia says, echoing the same sentiment. She was not prepared, however, for Bambi’s request for her to sit as vice-president. “I was shocked”, says Sofia, “but when she showed me her plans for the Bakuran [the outdoors of the Museo], I just had to say yes.”
