Suansing named Customs deputy commissioner
This appointment was so low profile that I didn’t know about it until I read a story about two weeks ago about the plan of the Bureau of Customs to procure additional firearms for its police force, and my friend, Horacio “Toto” Suansing, Jr., was already referred to as Deputy Customs Commissioner.
Toto did an outstanding job as Collector of the Port of Manila, and this is a well-deserved promotion for him. And he is yet another pride of the Ilonggo people, as he is a home-grown Ilonggo. He is the older brother of the late Ivan P. Suansing, and the nephew of Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago.
Congratulations, Toto!

Mike Enriquez is in town
Popular TV anchorman Mike Enriquez arrived in Iloilo this morning for a low-profile visit. He took the Cebu Pacific flight that landed at around 8:15 a.m. and was fetched at the airport by a vehicle of the city assessor’s office. It is not known how long he will be in Iloilo. Is he here for a story? Imbestigador? Or just a quick visit with friends? It appears even the GMA station in Iloilo was unaware of his visit, as there was no local GMA staff who greeted him at the airport.
