What level of confidence do you have in the statement alleged to have come from Rafael M. Garcia III? I googled bojinka and found the following link to a commercial site (they sell subsctriptions). I'm not certain of the political leanings of this organization, but the article on the left side of this page is almost word for word with what you posted, without any reference to Garcia or to Ramon Pedrosa, at least in the part I could see. Garcia by the way comes up negative on a google at least in this context. I forgot to do Pedrosa but I intend to go back and do that.
Is it at all possible that we have seen the creation of another Internet hoax or urban legend? The other site I looked at that referred to Oplan Bojinka was a website in the Philippines that probably has some axes to grind.

I googled Pedrosa and found that name listed as the ambassador from Malta to the Philippines. Not certain what if anything that means, but my skepticism is almost boundless on this one.
Edited yet again:
Further searches showed that up until September 11, the only Bojinka hits referred to a plan to blow up 11 jet liners enroute to the US from Asian rim countries. None of the sites made reference to plans to fly the planes into buildings. These sites I looked at were predominantly mainstream news reporters such as CNN.
