                    [Summary] => Malacañang finally admitted yesterday that President Arroyo appointed former Manila councilor Dan Roleda as her presidential assistant, not adviser, on foreign investments after Palace officials were initially clueless that there was such a post.


A presidential adviser carries the rank of Cabinet secretary, while a presidential assistant carries the rank of undersecretary.

Roleda’s portfolio became public knowledge after he figured in the controversial welcoming of Macau gambling taipan Stanley Ho on March 22 at Clark Field in Pampanga last week.

"We have not had any kind of talks, deal or agreement with Mr. Stanley Ho in the past. We have no ongoing negotiation with Mr. Ho. Mr. (Ephraim) Genuino (Pagcor chairman) has not even met Mr. Ho," Pagcor spokesman Dodie King told The STAR yesterday.

King stressed that neither do they have any plans for a project with the gambling tycoon.

As far as the Philippine National Police (PNP) is concerned, Macau gambling mogul Stanley Ho is "Mr. Clean."

Sir Knight-Commander-Cheva-lier-Doctor Stanley Ho chickened out of the inauguration of his Jumbo Palace Floating Restaurant -- for all the wrong reasons!

This campaign, he said, "has been so vilifying and bitter and cynical as to be completely unacceptable."

At this point, I think Stanley Ho will be a tough sell. The attempt to use public relations to turn the story around isn't going to work. Stanley Ho came out looking somewhat condescending in his interview with Manila-based reporters brought by Best World to Hong Kong to see him. So Mr. Ho is threatening to forget his plan to invest in the Philippines. All we can say in response is, promise, ha?

It is best for both the country and for the Macau casino king for Stanley Ho to just stay home. His money would normally be welcome in this investment-starved country.

Stanley Ho feels so insulted by all the controversy surrounding his business interests in the Philippines that he has threatened to pull out all his investments here.
