President Macagrapal-Arroyo's Quote

First, the cite below is not to BBC. Second, the link does not even have her quoted as making this statement. She was in Fresno, CA June 22. I saw no news story where the president made this quote. If she did make this statement it should be properly referenced and linked.

BBC quoted Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as saying: "Why did you allow it to sail and why was there no ample warning? I want answers."[13]

If no evidence surfaces it will be removed from the article. --Edwin Larkin (talk) 16:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Right well i have just checked the bbc Article and it does quote gloria Macapagal-Arroyo saying those things - wats happened is that someone has put the bbc Article in the wrong place Jason Rees (talk) 17:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Retirement

Since the WMO are bound to follow PAGASA's lead and retire Fengshen, should we move this page like we have done to various pages in the Atlantic? Jason Rees (talk) 03:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I Agree with you. Fengshen is an obvious case, and it does deserve the main article. Does anyone else agree about this? Well? Anyone else out there agree? Yellow? Thoughts about this anyone? 99.52.152.91 (talk) 23:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
