US Amb. Kenny visits Bacolod today
US Ambassador Kristie Kenny will be visiting Bacolod City for the first time today and will pay a courtesy call on Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia at the New Government Center.
With the ambassador are members of her staff: Management Counselor Catherine Ebert-Gray, Public Affairs Officer Rebecca Thompson, Special Assistant to the Ambassador Fe Blaylock and Regional Security Officer Mario Reta.
The Ambassador will arrive mid-morning at the New Bacolod-Silay Airport, have a stop-over at Talisay City, proceed to the New Government Center and then to the Provincial Capitol for the induction of the US Peace Corps Volunteers for the Visayas.
The schedule of the US Ambassador is so tight that it precludes any interview with the local media. She will fly back to Manila in the afternoon after the induction.
