Quite the reverse, officials here patiently are bearing the insult and quietly starting the Caloocan-Malolos line, trifling compared to their 70,000 kilometers of tracks. Penniless, politicking Philippines is still in luck.

                    [Summary] => With the prevailing political uncertainty, the top United States official in Manila believes the expectations of Filipinos for President Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) are high.


US Embassy charge d’affaires Joseph Mussomeli said this year’s address will not simply list the government’s accomplishments and priority bills Congress needs to pass — the Filipino people are expecting a "substantial" message from the President and urgent reforms to resolve the political turmoil.

                    [Summary] => It was embarrassing, but it wasn’t unexpected. From the start, many suspected a hoax when the story first surfaced that two Japanese soldiers who had been hiding in the jungles around General Santos City had been spotted. The story of the alleged World War II "stragglers", however, had attracted such interest in Japan that 100 Japanese journalists flew into the country and onwards to GenSan, as well as a swarm of diplomats from Tokyo.
