With an estimated 84-M population, we are now the 12th most populous country in the world with 1.8-M Filipinos added every year.

There is no question that the Angelo de la Cruz crisis has become the turning point in our diplomatic direction. In effect, GMA is steering our diplomatic offensive towards what she feels is important for the country – Filipinos First.

                    [Summary] => The leader of the free world and supposedly the freest country – the United States of America – is now under siege. No one can blame them for this "siege mentality". The 9/11 attack was probably the worst terrorist attack ever, killing close to 3,000 people. No matter how much they try to convince us that the US is still the same, life in America has drastically changed. It appears they are slowly turning into a police state.

                    [Summary] => Almost every year at this time, doom and gloomers come out of the woodwork to remind all of us about the natural and man-made disasters that had happened in the past and based on that, predict the "death" of the Philippines. Although this country has reason to be anxious because of the things that had happened and are still happening, it also has more than enough reason to look forward to something bright.

Bush, it was announced earlier, was supposed to sport a barong Tagalog. So much for costumes. I laid out my taxedo (which they call "smoking" in Europe, since it’s technically a smoking jacket).

The backup presidential aircraft arrived first with White House’s chief of staff Andrew Card at about 12:05 in the afternoon. Karen Brooks, who worked tirelessly to make this trip happen and who came ahead, told me how Bush was so eager and anxious to come to the Philippines.

                    [Summary] => The leader of the free world and supposedly the freest country – the United States of America – is now under siege. No one can blame them for this "siege mentality". The 9/11 attack was probably the worst terrorist attack ever, killing close to 3,000 people. No matter how much they try to convince us that the US is still the same, life in America has drastically changed. It appears they are slowly turning into a police state.

Although this country has reason to be anxious because of the things that had happened and are still happening, it also has more than enough reason to look forward to something bright.

                    [Summary] => So much has been written – too much, in truth – about the Bush state visit that one already begins to think of it in past tense, even if – as I write –I still have to go to Malacañang for the State Dinner. Bush, it was announced earlier, was supposed to sport a barong Tagalog. So much for costumes. I laid out my taxedo (which they call "smoking" in Europe, since it’s technically a smoking jacket).

The backup presidential aircraft arrived first with White House’s chief of staff Andrew Card at about 12:05 in the afternoon. Karen Brooks, who worked tirelessly to make this trip happen and who came ahead, told me how Bush was so eager and anxious to come to the Philippines.
