It hurts when a foreigner makes comments on our stinking garbage and hole-y streets, and graft and corruption being a major reason for the Philippine economy’s state of stagnation. Remember how a female Hollywood star became persona-non-grata  for saying Manila is a dirty city? How strange that we complain about our dirt and garbage but are hurt when foreigners are quoted in the media as saying our cities are infested with flies and mosquitoes.

                    [Summary] => It was far easier for media to meet US Ambassador Francis J. Ricciardone than it was for him to meet the 30 or so of us who attended the cocktails hosted by Public Affairs Officer Dr. Michael "Mike" H. Anderson at his elegant apartment.


We discovered Mr. Ricciardone to be mild-mannered, soft-spoken, candid and forthright; his wife Marie, a molecular biologist, conveyed the impression of being shy, reserved and withdrawn which was just as well: the press is generally "frightened" by overly aggressive diplomats’ wives.
