President Bush is only staying for 8 hours and there’s been a lot of preparations for his state visit.
From the Philippine flags flying beside the Stars and Stripes along the Palace gate, to the new 372-meter red carpet, to the colorful tiny buntings strung above the specially built “nipa” frond huts dotting the gardens, it was Filipino-style fiesta for the “real-time” dress rehearsal for the visit of US President George W. Bush.
