                    [Summary] => Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo defended yesterday the appointment of 11 retirement-age ambassadors whose appointments were confirmed by the Commission on Appointments (CA) on Thursday.


In a press briefing, Romulo defended his decision to nominate the   ambassadors led by Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Policy Sonia Brady, who was confirmed as envoy to China.


Disgruntled foreign service officers have expressed concern over the appointment of the ambassadors who might be allowed to stay in their posts beyond retirement age.

Amb. Baja is the father-in-law of Grace Barbers, the only sister of Surigao del Norte Rep.Robert Ace Barbers, who made a big announcement last week of his having signed the impeachment complaint against Mrs.Arroyo to help fasttrack its transmittal to the Senate.

Lacson did just that Tuesday night when he raised P10.5 million during a "friendship dinner" with Filipino-Chinese friends at the Sheraton Hotel in Manila, which is owned by billionaire taipan Lucio Tan.
