It's really discouraging that the GMA promised that an NTC will be sent out at the end of last week, and it never happened. It's such a small thing to uphold promises like the one she made, and it speaks and means volumes to those for whom it's intended. Many people, and I being one of them, although much more cautiously after hearing some of the conditions that will probably be attached to taking a base, have been waiting years, literally years, for the news that they will be free from Hong Kong, headed back to family and friends. I don't doubt that she will add theses slots for the appropriate bid cycle, but for heaven's sake, don't make promises that you can't keep, even if your intentions are, well, hopefully, good.
One does end up feeling, well, hit with a stick. And when you get hit with a stick, it doesn't make you want to play nice.
