Umani ng atensiyon sa Baguio City ang kakaibang pakulo ng isang sangay ng local government unit (LGU) doon para mahanap ang may-ari ng naiwang kapareha ng heels o sapatos ng babae.
Nag-post ang Public Order & Safety Division (POSD) – City of Baguio ng announcement via Facebook nitong March 11, 2024.
Ang post ay tungkol sa nag-iisang size 41 na four-inch heels na natagpuan sa O-shaped overpass sa Baguio.
Ang announcement tungkol sa paghahanap sa may-ari ay inartehan nang isulat ito bilang tula na may titulong BAGUIO CINDERELLA STORY 2.0.
Narito ang ilang bahagi:
A lone sole seeks its missing mate,
A crimson kiss upon its fate.
Four inches high, a daring stride,
Size forty-one, where could it hide?
Found by our enforcers, a watchful eye,
At the O-shaped bridge, beneath the sky.
Though knocking doors, a tedious quest,
A quicker path, we put to the test.

THE OWNER OF THE SHOE
Mukhang naging epektibo ang pakulo. Sa dami ng reaksiyon, nahanap ang may-ari ng sapatos na si Pamela, isang Nigerian.
Nag-post ang POSD ng isa pang tula bilang update na natagpuan na ang may-ari ng sapatos.
Parte ng tula:
BAGUIO CINDERELLA 2.0 UPDATE!
Oh, lonesome slipper, thy owner we sought
Our dauntless pursuit was not for naught
At long last, the rightful claimant has come hither
To reunite the left to the right slipper
From lands afar, this maiden came
Beautiful Nigeria, a kingdom of fame
Mist-kissed Baguio, now her second home
A pilgrimage of knowledge, she's pursuing alone
From church she came, her steps did wander
Unwittingly, off her bag strayed a slipper
The morning dawned, the truth laid bare
A single slipper, a missing pair
THE AUTHOR OF THE POEMS
Ang may-akda ng tula ay si Daryll Longid, head ng POSD ng Baguio City.
Aniya tungkol sa may-ari ng nawawalang sapatos: "Na-realize niya nung Sunday na nawala niya yung shoe, pero she was too tired to look for it. And eventually, on Tuesday, somebody notified her," ulat ng ABS-CBN News.
Naisip daw ni Daryll na isatula ang announcement para mas marami ang makapansin at mas lumaki ang tsansa na mahanap ang owner.
Sabi niya sa Rappler, “The more traction, the higher the chance the owner would come across the post.”
Inamin din niyang sinubukan niyang gumamit ng AI [(Artificial Intelligence), pero hindi siya satisfied, kaya isinulat na lamang niya ito gamit ang thesaurus.
Post naman ni Daryll sa kanyang Facebook account: “I knew it would become viral, at least locally.
“That was my intention after all - the more traction, the better chances of the post reaching 'Cinderella,' which would result to our ultimate goal of reuniting the wayward shoe to its owner.
“But I never expected it would explode to this extent.”
NOT THE FIRST TIME
Hindi naman ito ang unang beses na nag-post ng nawawalang sapatos ang POSD.
Noong January 2023, nag-post din ito tungkol sa nakitang kaliwang brown wedges.
Hindi ito ginawan ng tula, pero mayroon itong witty post: P.S. You may bring your Prince Charming who could put the sandal on you… if it fits!”
