[Title] => Don’t tie aid to availability, Tito tells US
[Summary] => Vice President Teofisto Guingona said yesterday US military aid must be based on the needs of the Armed Forces modernization program, and not on the availability of American military surplus.
"I believe that we should learn from the past experience because this matter is covered by the mutual defense pact, and many times in the past, (the delivery of) what we asked for is delayed," he said.
"(The surplus materials) are oftentimes different from what we wanted, and because of the delays, they are no longer useful (to the Armed Forces)," he said.

[Title] => Guingona on 100,000 jobs in Iraq: Wishful thinking
[Summary] => Vice President Teofisto Guingona dismissed yesterday as "wishful thinking" the government’s plan to send more than 100,000 Filipino workers to take part in the reconstruction of Iraq.
"The expectancy of sending 100,000 Filipino workers to Iraq is a little bit exaggerated," Guingona said, adding Filipino companies would be "limited to being subcontractors" as American and British firms have already finalized their plans.
