Why is it that all of a sudden the Philippine government is talking about an increased presence of American troops in this country? Are we in grave danger of fighting a real shooting war with China? Didn’t our politicians learn anything from our history when right before World War II, when we were still under the American Commonwealth, even the American military was totally unprepared for war against the Japanese.

Another positive note about our hosting the 12th ASEAN Leaders' Summit in Cebu is the fact that because of this event, we went out of our way to beautify Cebu.

Indeed, Joel described Cebu as she's always been for decades - a pretty dirty, smelly and not really nice too look at for tourists to see.
