Over a year ago, Fox News released a story stating that Senator Barack Obama had been educated at a ‘secular madrasah’ as a young child in Indonesia. A madrasah (loosely translated to mean ‘school’ in English) may not sound like a big of a deal, but associating madrasah to ...

Victory was declared for the thousands of World War II veterans from the Philippines this past week with the passing of the Filipino Veterans Equity Bill in the US.

The people of Guam will vote for the Democratic party's presidential nominee tomorrow, giving the island nine votes for either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in August.

BASED on the revelations of ABC News’ Jake Tapper and opinion writer David Sirota in a blog article in The Huffington Post, it seems Hillary Clinton is once again caught lying – not unlike her hospital healthcare sob story in working-class Ohio and her phantom Bosnia sniper tale in the days lead...

If there's a reason why I would vote Democratic (if I could, but I can't) in the coming US presidential elections, the passing of H.R. 760, the Filipino Veterans Equity Act, by the Democratic Party-dominated Veterans' Affairs Committee would be one of the reasons why.

people over the weekend when she said this: 'For the first time in my adult
lifetime I am proud of my country.'
Wow! That takes my breath away.

If I were an American citizen, I would probably vote for Barack Obama. He is more genuinely articulate than the plastic and predictable Hillary Clinton. He has real fire in his belly; Hillary has only a bellyache caused by ambition unsatisfied by eight years in the White House as First Lady.

Lauded as America’s democratic model in Asia, it is then of no surprise that the Philippines is keeping a close eye on the race to the White House. It may even be insightful to say that when it comes to politics, the Philippines – a former colony of the superpower - is just like the US.
