I live in Pattaya with a Philipino youg man as I am 90 years old and require someone to assist.me. I had an invitation from Joe Biden to attend a function in the White House with my young man 's name inviting us both. My friend scheduled an interview with our Embassy in Manilla and arrived there as scheduled, only to be refused entry since they neglected to put it into their computer. The fact he had a letter from the Embassy telling him to the be there was of no interest, nor the invite to to the WH! JUST INCOMPETENT! MEL
