The story of the single shoe searching for its owner in Baguio City has reached its happy ending after a student from Nigeria claimed the size-41, four-inch stiletto heel late Tuesday.
Pamela reclaimed the shoe at the city hall hours after the Public Order and Safety Division posted a whimsical poem about the “Cinderella 2.0” incident.
The heroine in this story said she changed into flats after attending Sunday’s church service and belatedly discovered she left the shoe behind.
POSD chief Daryll Longid penned another poem to celebration the reunion of the prodigal shoe with Pamela:
Oh, lonely slipper, your saga did inspire, A city-wide search, a tale to admire.
Found at last, the owner did appear, Bringing to a close, our shoe mystery here.
From Nigeria’s shores to Baguio’s embrace, Pamela sought knowledge, with elegance and grace.
A slipper lost, from church to abode, Led to a story, poetically ode.
Cinderella 2.0, of modern-day lore, Found not a prince, but something more.
A community united, by a shoe’s simple plight, Found friendship and laughter, in the morning light.
This tale of reunion, so heartwarmingly told, Reminds us of connections, more precious than gold.
In Baguio, a city of pine and mist, A single shoe’s journey, will always persist.
So here ends the tale of Pamela and her slipper, A story of lost and found, that’s never been chipper.
Baguio Cinderella 2.0, a story to behold, A testament to a community, wonderfully bold.
