THREE blasts in Mindanao prompted four foreign embassies to warn against travel to Cebu, but the summit activities Cebu will host starting today until Monday “are a go,” said Ambassador Marciano Paynor Jr.

In a press briefing yesterday morning, the secretary-general of the Asean Summit Organizing Committee emphasized that the bombings “are completely isolated incidents that do not relate to out summit meetings.”
