gi tuyo man ang ang 4 day holiday because there is a tight security while the summit is in going. kun manrabaho ta, unsa man atong sakyan? unsa may sure na road na open ana na time? even if naa pa'y taxi.

yeah luoy gyud ang mga empleyado na daily ang sweldo. for the monthly paid employees, this is a good time to relax. but there's a rumor that this 4-day holiday is still a proposal. wala pa daw ni na approve.

Mactan hotel is new venue of Asean summit.

CEBU (Updated 3:50 p.m.) -- Organizers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit in the Philippines have made a last-minute venue change due to delays in the construction of a convention center, an official said Tuesday.

The Dec. 11-13 summit will be held in Shangri-La Hotel on Mactan island, near the central Philippine city of Cebu, instead of the Cebu International Convention Center, said police Deputy Director-General Avelino Razon.

"Some of the foreign delegations expressed concern about the date the convention center would be finished, so it was transferred to Shangri-La," Razon told reporters.

Razon said all meetings involving the Asean summit have been moved to Shangri-La, Mactan for the convention center might not be available on time. Supposedly only the ministers meeting will be held at the Mactan hotel.

Razon said the decision to change the venue was relayed to him by Police Deputy Director General Isidro Lapeña, the overall chairman of the police Task Force Asean.

Construction on the huge center, begun in April, was originally scheduled to be completed by Wednesday, but was still in progress. The CICC have already cost Cebu province some P450 million to construct.

Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia is yet to issue a statement as of this posting.

Razon said authorities had not monitored any threats, but have deployed an additional 7,000 police and 3,100 soldiers along with the thousands of security forces already in Cebu.

The summit will involve leaders of the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations - Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam.

Leaders from China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand also will join ASEAN heads of state for an East Asia Summit on Dec. 13.(AP/Sunnex)

I wonder what will Gov. Gwen's reaction be. hmmn... Even if the CICC will not be used for the ASEAN Summit it will still benefit the Cebuanos but knowing our government, they will not finish the project anymore but instead they will "re-align" the remainder of the budget. This could possibly and Expo Filipino scam part 2.
