I'm going out on a limb taking this quiz, because admittedly, i'm not
sure of all the answers:

 1. Julian Felipe (if he wrote the music instead of the lyrics, can i
get partial credit?)

 4. Walong sinag signifying the first 8 provinces involved in the
revolution against Espana.

 5. Tatsulok, signifying the three major island groups of the archipe-
lago.

 Sorry, surrender ako sa 2. and 3.

Will be waiting for the correct answers to the quiz, ok?

The original flag was light blue in color.  It was during the American
"Occupation" that the color changed.  In order to use  the same materials
in making the Philippine flag, someone decided to use the American blue.

When the flag is hung vertically, the blue should be on the right during
peace times.  To whose right?  It is to the right of the flag, or the 
right of someone facing the audience.  So, it should be on the left
of someone facing the flag.  I don't think Martial Law counts as war
times.

A fact is a fact regardless of perspective. What is fact for geologists 
should be fact for everyone else. Otherwise it is only a theory or 
an opinion. 

If I'm not mistaken, Caloy Arcilla was my (terror) teacher *grin* in 
Geology 10 (c. 1983) back in UP (civil engineering majors have to take 
the basic geology course). Caloy nagturo ka nga ba ng Geo 10 sa UP? If 
he is the Caloy Arcilla I used to know, then he knows his rocks pretty 
well. 

Comments welcome.

	WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (UPI) -- The Nottingham All-Stars lost 1-0 to Long
Beach, California, Thursday Ryan in the domestic championship game of
the the Little League World Series.
	Adam Famosa, who started for the team from Hamilton, suburban
Trenton, took a no-hitter into the sixth. Sean Burroughs, son of former
major-league outfielder Jeff Burroughs, pitched a three-hit shutout and
struck out nine for Long Beach.
	Long Beach will play international winner Phillipines Saturday in the
final at Lamade Stadium. Roberto Tlacious and Allan Bitum hit home runs
to help Zamboango City of the Philippines to a 5-1 victory over
Epyguerrero of the Dominican Republic.
	Long Beach also defeated Nottingham 6-4 Tuesday during the round-
robin tournament. Long Beach won all three round-robin games while
Nottingham was 2-1 in round-robin play.
	This is the ninth consecutive year the Far East has advanced to the
championship game, although the Philippines is making its debut in the
Little League World Series. Taiwan won the previous two champioships,
four of the last five and 15 overall.
	Tlacious and his opponent, Juan Aquino, each pitched a perfect game
for three innings before the Phillipines scored four runs in the top of
the fourth. Tlacious worked a perfect game for five innings before
yielding a run in the sixth.
	Epyguerrero had defeated Zamboango City 8-1 Wednesday in round-robin
play, and the Domincians outscored their opponents 61-1 in its first
three games.
	Eight teams from five countries were competing in round-robin play in
the two brackets.

Just where did you notice that?  I would say that if it is so, it's not
because they're Chinese but more because they're wealthy.  The attitude
is more from envy than anything else (i.e., race/culture/heritage).

In San Diego, there is a couple of branches of LBC, which, as i
understand, is some sort of carrier service with branches *all over*
the Phils.  If this company exists in your area, you might want to
do an enquiry for rates.

I would *never* trust the International Post for this purpose.  I still

and those parcels were opened, looking for "subversive materials" ...
