                    [Summary] => Flying back to Manila from Taipei (Taiwan) yesterday was just like a "Manila to Cebu" (or Boracay?) flight. On an EVA Air Boeing 747-400, it took us just one hour and 40 minutes.


The pilot whose voice came over on the inter-com, judging from his clear command of English, was apparently a Filipino. This was confirmed when I was greeted in the cabin by another Filipino Captain, Ronaldo F. Mendoza, who was returning to Manila on R & R, and usually flies B-747s for EVA Air on its routes to the US.

The Philippines stands to lose some 200,000 Taiwanese visitors annually if
Manila and Taipei fail to resolve soon their air dispute, Tourism Secretary
Gemma Cruz-Araneta said yesterday.

This developed as President Estrada said he has directed Transportation and
Communications Secretary Vicente Rivera to spearhead negotiations with Taiwan
for the resumption of the air service agreement between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Taiwan said it would suspend all Philippine Airlines (PAL) flights
to Taipei in reaction to Manila's move disallowing the entry of Taiwanese

Talks to resolve a row over an air agreement between the Philippines and Taiwan
appear to be going nowhere as two Taiwanese airline companies remained firm on
their stand to bring its passengers in the United States via Manila.

An official of the Civil Aeronautics Board told a forum that Manila had offered
solutions to the impasse, but EVA Air and China Airlines refused them.
