maybe it wasn't the island part but the Spanish Red Cross part…

Renowned hostess to international personalities, former president of the Spanish Red Cross, and a dedicated philanthropist who supports various different social projects on Mallorca, Cristina Macaya is generous and optimistic. But above all she is a woman of action. Soledad Bescós introduces us.

Cristina López de Mancisidor (Madrid, 1945) is usually known by her husband’s surname, Javier Macaya, father of her four children, Sandra, Cristina, Javier and Maria. She feels her children “have turned out very well” and they have given her 17 grandchildren.

She is extraordinarily modest and humble, and doesn’t like to take credit for the fact that she presided over the Spanish Red Cross for 11 years and created the Sorteo del Oro, a lottery which guarantees permanent funding for its charitable work, or the Women Together prize she was awarded by the United Nations in 2006 in recognition for her work to improve the conditions of women imprisoned with their children which involved the building of a special unit for mothers, or even her involvement with Proyecto Hombre, an organisation dedicated to the treatment and prevention of drug dependency founded and presided over by local priest Tomeu Catalá.

It is not surprising to discover that she is related to Jean Lafitte, a well known French privateer who fought in the English-American battles of 1812. These buccaneer origins probably have something to do with the extraordinary courage she exhibits in her everyday life. An admirer of art, she poses for our photographer next to one of the many sculptures distributed throughout her house by the artist Pep Canyelles.

At Es Canyar, the estate she has been living in for more than 20 years, she has welcomed a long list of well known guests; Bill Clinton and his family, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, the Princes of Monaco, Carlos Fuentes, Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Van Morrison, Valentino, and many more.

"China, my friend, how politely can I put it? Let me see… O…GET THE FUCK OUT," Locsin tweeted on his personal account.

"What are you doing to our friendship? You. Not us. We're trying. You. You're like an ugly oaf forcing your attentions on a handsome guy who wants to be a friend; not to father a Chinese province …", Locsin said.

China's embassy in Manila did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Chinese officials have previously said the vessels at the disputed Whitsun Reef were fishing boats taking refuge from rough seas.
