                    [Summary] => Because of the Iraq War, the recent elections in the US had the highest voter turnout since 1968. The last time such a large turnout happened was during the Vietnam War. The way I look at it, Osama Bin Laden’s last videotape actually helped Bush’s campaign in the final stretch. While Bush’s message on moral issues carried the day, the underlying issue that concerned Americans was security from terrorism. Because of this concern, majority of Americans felt that moral values had to return to their lives.

                    [Summary] => WASHINGTON – President Arroyo’s successful state visit to the United States and President George W. Bush’s reciprocal trip to the Philippines in October are rays of hope in an otherwise bleak year for Philippine tourism, Tourism Secretary Richard Gordon said.


The bonanza of publicity in the coming months will keep the Philippines in the news and hopefully attract more visitors to compensate for losses suffered as a result of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the global war on terrorism that have generally kept people from traveling, he said.

Methodist pastor Jojo Velasco, secretary-general of the human rights group Karapatan in Mindoro Occidental, and his companions were visiting neighboring towns to conduct talks on the celebration of Human Rights Day on Dec. 10 when they disappeared, according to Bagong Alyansang Makabayan secretary-general Teodoro Casino.

Presidential Spokesman Rigoberto Tiglao said they have received word from the US State Department that Bush’s schedule in Asia would not allow him even a brief stopover here.


Tiglao said US Secretary of State Colin Powell told President Arroyo that Bush’s Asian tour next week is so tight he could not visit the Philippines even for a day.

Bush is set to visit Japan on Feb. 17  and Korea on Feb. 19  before proceeding to China on Feb. 21, sources in the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said yesterday.


But the DFA sources, requesting anonymity, said Malacañang is burning the lines to have Manila included in Bush’s itinerary in a bid to boost the country’s image before the international community.
