In one of his trips to Cebu, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, through his coordinator Rey Carmelo Remonde, invited us to dinner at an uptown resto. He brought along his son Congressman Jack Enrile, who we believe is running for Senator in the coming 2013 elections. In fact, his man in Cebu Rey, invited a lot of barrio officials especially from Argao and Sibonga, as well as friends from Cebu City. We noticed, in fact, the president of the Vendors Association of Cebu was present, too.

Among other things, Senate President Enrile talked about how rigorous and tedious the Corona impeachment was to him, reason that he was traveling all over the country visiting friends and former colleagues…and he was so happy to see former Congressman Tito Calderon who was once his colleague in Congress.
