Allow me to grab a pun or thought from our publisher Mr. Juanito Jabat who would have written in his column "Have Bat Will Strike... about yesterday's "dry" run for the ASEAN Summit Security preparations that it really was not a dry but a "wet" run as the rains kept drenching us for the last three days. Thankfully, these rains are a result of a tropical depression due to a cold front and strong "Amihan" winds and not coming from any typhoon. Strong rains definitely won't be enough to cause the postponement of the 12th ASEAN Leader's Summit. So come rain or come shine...
