YMPN BULLETIN link to a Moro Diplomat's Blog

“Diplomats were invented simply to waste time.” - David Lloyd George

So they say. However, if you are referring to The Moro Diplomat this line certainly does not ring true. Even if, he quotes the statement above in his blog.

The Moro Diplomat is not simply a blog but a diplomatic memoir in the making. It chronicles the adventures, misadventures, journeys, experiences, personal musings, random thoughts, rants, and everything in between of another YMPer, GONAR MUSOR.

Gonz, as most of us call him, is a Philippine Diplomat posted in the Middle East and Africa. He once headed the editorial team of Bangsamoro.com or BM.com, an award winning website sponsored by YMPN.

If you want to know more about our fellow YMPer just simply visit his site -- THE MORO DIPLOMAT.
