I was just at the right place at the right time when I was invited to a dinner reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy for top officials from the Office of the Press Secretary led by presidential spokesman Ignacio Bunye. It was held at the residence of the ambassador in Dasmariñas Village, Makati City last Monday night. With the usual diplomatic opening statements from both sides, the cat was let out of the bag. President Arroyo is set to fly to Boao in Hainan, China to attend the annual Conference of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) on April 19-21.

"According to the consensus reached by the two governments, it was decided that a China-Philippine economic partnership forum would be held in the Philippines in the first half of this year," Li told The STAR during his visit here.

[Summary] => All I can say is that we Filipinos, as always, will muddle through. What if "Garci" claims he talked to almost everybody – it’s probably true, but so what? It’s time we stopped being hypocrites. Politicians and candidates try to get elected anyway they can. Our old friend and Infantry Training Group ("G" Company) erstwhile Alte Kameraden Sen. Johnny Ponce Enrile admitted he did a "Hello, Garci", too, but only to help somebody else.

[Summary] => Not to cast aspersion on the front page headline story in our own newspaper – Sus, it was even bannered in another major newspaper ultra-critical by habit of the GMA dispensation – but I am skeptical of yesterday’s upbeat tale that the Philippines was applauded for its strategies in combatting terrorism.

Anyway, PAL’s Chairman Lucio Tan and PAL President Jim Bautista should take a bow. Last Friday’s inauguration dinner in the Beijing Hotel ballroom, a banquet hall unchanged since it was graced in the old days by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and recently President Hu Jintao, was a gala affair.
