JAIME J. YAMBAO
A FEW days ago, I was asked by Ambassador Larry Baja, our chairman and president, respectively, of the Philippine Ambassadors Foundation Inc. and the Department of Foreign Affairs Retirees Foundation Inc. to address an affair hosted by the DFA’s Human Resources Management Office honoring the 2017 retirees. Pondering what I would say, I knew that I would not be talking about my travels, official and unofficial, when I was in active service. Few people these days of easy and inexpensive travel find the travels of others interesting. How much more your former colleagues who had done those same things you did? Unless of course you just survived a plane crash.
