[Title] => No announcement yet on new US envoy to RP
[Summary] => Washington has no official announcement yet on its new ambassador to the Philippines after the nomination of US ambassador to South Africa Cameron Hume did not push through.
Karen Kelley, spokeswoman for the US Embassy in Manila, said Washington has yet to announce a nominee to succeed American envoy to Manila Francis Ricciardone, who concluded his tour of duty in the Philippines last month.
"We do not have an official White House announcement on the Bush administration’s nominee for Manila yet," Kelley said.

[Title] => Suffer the little children
[Summary] => We have children on our mind this week, in many ways. We acknowledge the pioneering work done by the Philippine Children’s Medical Center in the last quarter century, and how it continues to deliver quality medical care on par with the best private hospitals. From across six decades we hear the voices of the children of the Terezin concentration camp, an old fortress town just outside of Prague, in a unique collection of drawings and poems by some of the 15,000 children who lived there from 1941 to 1945.

[Title] => Increase in US visa fees clarified
[Summary] => The US Embassy in Manila clarified yesterday that the American government has increased visa fees, but not for non-immigrant visas.
US Embassy spokesperson Karen Kelley belied reports that the fee for a non-immigrant visa was raised from $100 to $200.
"The visa fee for non-immigrants remains at $100. I do not believe there has been an increase in the non-immigrant visa fee," Kelley said.
Last Wednesday, Sen. Richard Gordon asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to make representations with the US government to reduce the new visa fees.

[Title] => Ricciardone: Gates of hell opened in Iraq
[Summary] => VIGAN CITY – They have entered the gates of hell without abandoning all hope.
United States Ambassador to the Philippines Francis Ricciardone said it could take months before any weapons of mass destruction are unearthed in Iraq as coalition forces literally begin the spadework to find any WMDs in the war-torn country.
"We just opened the gates of hell there. We are just making our way to the outer rooms of hell," Ricciardone pleaded to critics of the American-led invasion of the oil-rich nation.
