Lincoln, Lee Kwan Yew or Hitler? The Bedan Combo

Ambassador Jun Siazon is gone. A long-time Foreign Affairs Secretary, and envoy to Japan, I first met him in 1965 in Tokyo. I was with Vice Mayor Herminio “Togay” Astorga. Jun spoke Japanese and, indeed, passed away in Japan. He had a Japanese woman for a wife, Kay.

One night, in a Tokyo hotel bar, some Japanese women joined us. (Togay was not with us.) One said to me, “I rob you.” Extraordinary. But, nothing out of the ordinary happened, as we would say in court. Imelda may not know Japanese but the Supreme Court (SC) directed on July 15, 2003 the Marcoses to return billions. Done. They could have said, “We rob you very much.” Why are they where they are???
