With the President here yesterday for his five-day sortie in Mindanao, there appeared to be a "tug-of-war" between William Gatchalian, presidential adviser on overseas workers, and Eddie Gaisano, a long-time friend and ardent supporter, over who would be Mr. Estrada's host here.
Gatchalian owns the Insular Waterfront Hotel which he bought from the Ayalas last year, while Gaisano owns the Mercure Grand Hotel.
