                    [Summary] => 

SEOUL — Tourism Secretary Joseph Durano yesterday invited Korean students to seriously consider taking up English language proficiency courses in the Philippines.


Speaking before tourism students of the Sejong University here, Durano said Filipinos are very conversant in English as this is taught in school from the primary grades up to the university level.


"Our proficiency in English has effectively eliminated the language barrier to globalization," Durano told students in the packed auditorium of the university.

Sinabi ni Navy chief Rear Admiral Ernesto de Leon, ipinakalat na nila ang mga miyembro ng TF Stingray para magbantay sa ating karagatan pati ang mga beach resorts upang hindi makaporma ang mga terorista.


Layunin ng Navy na huwag nang maulit ang nangyari sa Dos Palmas resort na nagdulot ng matinding kahihiyan sa bansa sa buong mundo.

But this time, it was only a drill.


Local and foreign tourists in the country’s premiere island resort watched as the beach was secured, the "threat" diffused and the anti-terrorism drill concluded safely.


The sea-borne anti-terrorism operation, the biggest so far this year to be launched by the Philippine Navy, was deemed a success.
