                    [Summary] => SINGAPORE – In the lion state of Singapore, there is such a thing as the Crazy Horse, which on first hearing we thought was the old band of rocker Neil Young. Only when we got here did we find out that it was a tasteful showcase of burlesque imported for the tropics.

                    [Summary] => If the Philippines wants to survive and compete, it must do more to promote regional integration in Southeast Asia. 


In unity there is strength, but you hardly feel that in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. ASEAN has been ineffectual in its efforts to jump-start democratic reforms in Myanmar. Efforts to present Southeast Asia as a single trading bloc and tourism destination have been an uphill struggle.

Like older cities that have come to be known as cradles of the arts, Singapore’s makings as a cultural capital is the offshoot of its financial prosperity.
