                    [Title] => Politics testing China’s patience over Northrail
                    [Summary] => BEIJING – Maligned of inability to build a railroad and irregularity in lending money for it, it’s a wonder China hasn’t dumped the North Luzon Railway project. Quite the reverse, officials here patiently are bearing the insult and quietly starting the Caloocan-Malolos line, trifling compared to their 70,000 kilometers of tracks. Penniless, politicking Philippines is still in luck.

US Embassy charge d’affaires Joseph Mussomeli said this year’s address will not simply list the government’s accomplishments and priority bills Congress needs to pass — the Filipino people are expecting a "substantial" message from the President and urgent reforms to resolve the political turmoil.

The story of the alleged World War II "stragglers", however, had attracted such interest in Japan that 100 Japanese journalists flew into the country and onwards to GenSan, as well as a swarm of diplomats from Tokyo.

"Please, all the men in the country, so that I won’t be rude to you, do not attempt to kiss me." The magazine’s Verbatim editor wrote in explanation that thus spake "Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Philippines, addressing affectionate male citizens who often greet her with kisses on both cheeks."
