Bunye also said the May 15 date for the deployment of the Philippine humanitarian mission to Iraq is a "flexible" schedule.


"May 15 is a flexible day. On or about that time, they will proceed," he said.

This "informal request" was issued even before the war erupted in Iraq, when US ambassador to Manila Francis Ricciardone met with Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople "to invite" the Philippines to join the coalition of the willing.
