ME AND PRESIDENT GLORIA ARROYO IN HANOI

BY MARCIE USON WISE

The above photos were taken in Hanoi, Vietnam, Feb. 11, 2002.  GMA and her delegates(Blas Ople was there in his wheel chair at that time, but no photos due to protocol) came for the ASEAN SUMMIT.  A reception was held in a Hotel.  Most of the expatriate ladies were invited.  I had the opportunity to talk with her and I found her  very nice.  She mingled with us and we had so much fun.  Security at that time was in a very low key.  She was there for almost two hours.  She made a little speech but I forgot most of what she said. The only thing I do remember is her telling us " just continue sending money to the Philippines".  Aren't  we all doing that already?
