Aigle, 16 November 2010 Ref: Presidency
Dear Francisco, I am responding to your letter of 27th August 2010. Sorry not to have had some time together in Singapore and sorry for taking so long to respond to this letter. As you are well aware I am extremely busy with, unfortunately, too many travels. This in turn makes keeping up with my correspondence a nightmare. In actual fact I write this letter on a plane back from Beijing to Europe. I was there to sign a deal with Beijing City to establish a major cycle race next October for the best teams in the world. I didn’t even have time to travel down to Quangszhou as I had to return. I have no doubt you are in Quangszhou and I hope all goes well for you there. Thank you for your compliments regarding the Bicycle Solidarity programme. I would indeed love to include the Philippines in this project. I note your comments on the situation currently in Philippines and I include here some correspondence for you to read at your leisure. The first is a letter I received from the new President of the “dissident” group Dr Juico along with his, very extensive, CV. All very pleasant I must say as instead of trying the Bautista –“I`ll have you hanging from the galleysˆ approach Dr Juico tries the more diplomatic approach. I provide you also with my reply to Dr Juico where you will see that I do note from his CV that he was President of PSC more or less at the same time this now dissident group was set up by Bautista. Interesting ! Anyhow we will keep trying. As you see Tolentino gets a copy of the letter and my reply which, whilst still supporting him, is also asking for re-unification. I assure you I will continue to push for this eventuality.

I appreciate your comments on what you state to your POC President and if you wish feel free to pass on this correspondence to him. For the moment, Best regards,
Pat McQuaid President
