[Title] => Terror alert
[Summary] => Gen. Dionisio Santiago, Armed Forces chief of staff, said yesterday that the press took out of context his warning on possible terrorist retaliatory attacks on US interests and certain foreign embassies in the Philippines in case war breaks out in Iraq.
Santiago shouldn’t be too jittery; similar warnings have been issued in Washington. And anyway, even before the terror attacks in the US on Sept. 11, 2001, American interests in the Philippines have always been prime targets of rebels and terrorists.

[Title] => Business as usual
[Summary] => Since the bombings in Zamboanga and Quezon City I’ve been to the shopping mall near my home almost daily, just to see how quickly things would return to business as usual.
Last weekend’s crowd seemed thinner, but this week life appears to be returning to normal – except for the longer queues for security checks at entrances and the traffic as vehicles are searched for bombs.

[Title] => Trouble in paradise
[Summary] => The exquisite charm and unique culture of Bali have enchanted travelers for ages. I went to the island on vacation with my mother years ago and have only fond memories of that beautiful island.
Indonesians and Filipinos come from the same gene pool (people from what is now Indonesia were among the first settlers here) and of course the climate and natural scenery in Bali are very similar to the Philippines. But everything else, from the architecture to the Hindu way of life, is uniquely Balinese.

[Title] => Terrorists in our midst
[Summary] => The most worrisome aspect of the explosion in Zamboanga City Wednesday night is the possibility that it was a suicide bombing. The bomb had been rigged in a motorcycle. All the reports said the bomb went off after the rider had parked the bike. The rider was one of three fatalities (so far) in the explosion that destroyed a karaoke bar.
