Arroyo's request rejected

From Ernie Maceda:

Rejected. US President George W. Bush went out of his way to visit Mongolia to praise the leaders of Mongolia, being the 1st US President to visit Ulaanbator, the capital of Mongolia. Mongolia has a special place in Bush's heart because it has a contingent of 120 soldiers in Iraq since the start of the war up to now. Bush went to great lengths to detail the heroic performance of some Mongolian soldiers in Iraq.

Once again we can say it was a big mistake for GMA to have pulled out our contingent of 50 soldiers in Iraq. At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Busan, South Korea, the Philippine request for a one-on-one meeting between GMA and President Bush was rejected.
