[Title] => Canadian Embassy reopens
[Summary] => The Canadian Embassy reopened yesterday, a month and two days after it closed down due to alleged terror threats.
The embassy also revised and "downgraded" its travel advisory on the Philippines, telling Canadians that it is now safe to travel to the country.
Even on the holiday marking the death anniversary of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal, a crowd of about 100 Filipinos stood waiting outside the embassy to have their immigration papers processed.
Embassy First Secretary Robert Burley said yesterday that embassy operations have fully normalized.

[Title] => Canadian envoy: Threat still credible
[Summary] => Canadian Ambassador Robert Collette said yesterday there was still "a credible terrorist threat" to his country’s embassy in Makati City and that it would remain closed indefinitely.
The Canadian embassy refused to acknowledge that it had closed down based on raw intelligence information from a Manila police officer.
Collette said Ottawa made its own assessment of the specific and credible threat to the embassy.
"We received, as what I said before, a direct, a very specific threat against the Canadian embassy in Manila," he said.

[Title] => JI threat shut down Canada Embassy
[Summary] => The Canadian Embassy in Makati City closed last week due to a "credible" threat from the Indonesia-based Islamist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said yesterday.
"(We) had dinner with officials of the Canadian Embassy on the night before the closure… They told us they would be closing the embassy after receiving a specific report that they were being targeted by the JI," NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco said.
Wycoco told reporters he was assured that the embassy would reopen once the threat had passed.
