ASEAN MEET : Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel, Jr. (right) presents the position of the Philippine senate against the 2006 chairmanship of Myanmar of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) during the meeting of the ASEAN+3 Group. ASEAN parliamentarians, who are in Manila to attend the 112th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) general assembly, requested a meeting specifically to discuss among themselves Myanmars chairmanship, which is being opposed by ASEAN members on account of the continued human rights violations in the military junta-controlled country.
