A former ambassador lists them gleefully in his opinion column:
Following are the present political appointees, some of whom have been in their posts for more than six years:
Masaranga Umpa (Abuja); Rigoberto Tiglao (Athens); Alejandro del Rosario (Budapest); Ernesto de Leon (Canberra); Vidal Querol (Jakarta); Ramoncito Marino (Koror); Edgardo Espiritu (London); Joseph Bernardo (Madrid); Antonio Lagdameo (Mexico); Acmad Omar (Muscat); Jose Brillantes (Ottawa); Hermoso Belarmino (Port Moresby); Carmelita Salas (Prague); Phillippe Lhuillier (Rome); Consuelo Puyat Reyes (Santiago); Bienvenido Tejano (Wellington); and Noel Cabrera (Yangon).
Noe Wong is enroute to a Southeast Asian country, while Cristina Ponce-Enrile has reportedly been appointed to go to the Holy See.
Bucharest and New Delhi are vacant. I wouldn't be surprised if they too are filled with political carpetbaggers.
I've met our ambassador here. Interestingly, he was an officer in the armed forces.

given that she's not a career diplomat, it's a disgrace. (and does she even speak Dante's language?)
ambassador to the vatican???? what a joke! do we even need that?? the mall of asia is bigger than the vatican. why a separate ambassador?? why not put that under the jurisdiction of the ambassador to rome????
