Philippine Olympic Team Named 
-----------------------------

Sorry guys, I've had this newspaper clipping since last month.  
But since you asked for it, here it is ... 
This is taken from the Philippine Daily Inquirer dated June 10, 1992.
(I also made some remarks in parentheses.)

Athletics :  Lydia de Vega-Mercado      Edward Lasquette
             Herman Suizo               Hector Begeo

Swimming  :  Eric Buhain (I think listed as Joseph Buhain)
             Akiko Thomson (I think listed as Gillian Thomson)
             Lee Concepcion 
             Leo Najera
             Raymond Papa (He got disqualified yesterday from a heat
                 due to "bad conduct" for swimming too far away from
                 the starting wall in a backstroke event before the
                 start of the heat.)
         
Boxing    :  Ruel Velasco    Charlie Balena
             Isidro Vicera   Ronald Chavez
             Roberto Jalnaiz (Bronze medalist in 1988 Seoul Olympics)
             Arlo Chavez (Flag Bearer during opening ceremonies)

Fencing   :  Walter Torres

Equestrian : Denise Cojuangco

Judo      :  John Bailon     Jerry Dino

Shooting  :  Emerito Concepcion   Jaime Recio

Yachting  :  Mario Almario   Juan Miguel Torres    Teodorico Asejo

Taekwondo :  Walter Dean Vargas  Stephen Fernandez
             Mary Mark Alindogan
             Bea Lucero (yes, the former gymnast)

Celso Dayrit, designated chef de mission said the criteria for selecting
the athletes who made it must be at least a gold medal winner in
the Manila Southeast Asian Games and should be among the top three in the
Asian standard.  As for equestrian, which is not in the SEA games calendar,
the association will send one best athlete.

sorry about following up to my own post, but I have since been informed
that this is the total number of medals won since the Phils started to
participate in the Olympics and not just from the current games.

Apologies to all for any unecessary excitement.

	Mostly because of the expense involved.  The US film distributors
	are also not convinced that there is an English-speaking-non-
	Pilipino-speaking market for these films, and very few have 
	been picked up.

	On a positive note, I tried to rent Macho Dancer yesterday
	and it was out.  If this trend continues, maybe more Filipino
	films with subtitles will become available.

   You knew it had to happen.  "Friendship clubs" have been resoundly
abused by this group on such a regular basis, that someone had to go
out and dig up a new angle.
   The principle source of ire against these clubs was that they were
trying to set up non-filipinos with filipinos (I'm using the term
filipino to refer to both men and women, in an attempt to be as
politically correct as possible).  This gave this types of club an
air of condecession, and was seen by a lot of people as vaguely (or
even obviously) racist.
   Now that we've got a club advertising for filipinos oversees to meet
filipinos back in the RP, I'm wondering if this is suddenly acceptable?

   Personally, although I find these clubs to be something that I don't
understand (being the non-romantic kind of guy I am, and perhaps because
of terrible penmanship), I don't have any particular problem with this
type of club.  Then again, I don't have a problem with arranged marriages
either, which shows what an insensitive jerk I am.
   However, I don't think that this news group is an appropriate place for
this kind of advertisement, or any type of for-profit advertisement.  I
also think that the wording of the advertisement is enough to make the
average non-soap-opera-viewer lose his/her lunch, but then again, I'm known
for being an uncaring lout.

I do not have a complete list of Filipino athletes competing in the 
Olympics but I know of some results ...

Gillian Thomson competed in the 100 m freestyle and was second in
her heat.  She didn't qualify ... her heat was one of the earlier
heats (meaning that her qualifying time was low, in fact she was on
an outside lane but she managed to beat the many with faster qualifying
times).

Lee Concepcion competed in the 200 m breaststroke (3rd heat of the
qualifying).  His was the best time among the qualifiers in his heat
so he got assigned the number 4 lane.  He was second in his heat (
a respectable time actually, but didn't qualify).

Joseph Buhain also competed in the 200 m breaststroke (4th heat of
the qualifying round).  I do not know what his place was since the
broadcast was cut off before they announced the placings ... but by
the looks of it, he managed a very respectable time.


The first bout of boxing was between a Filipino (Roel Velasco) and
a Kenyan.  I wasn't sure which weight class it was, but it was one
of those lighter weights, maybe a light fly weight.  Roel Velasco
OUTCLASSED his Kenyan opponent.  It was a very lopsided match with
a score something like 12-1 after three rounds (they changed the
scoring in the olympics, it is now electronic and they no longer
score per round, but score per bout).


So far, 'eto lang ang napanood ko... so one boxer went on to the
next round, and three swimmers didn't qualify for the finals but
had respectable showings *hindi kulelat* and for all we know, might
have shattered Philippine records (for e.g. the times posted by
the three swimmers were about 3-5 sec off the world record).  Also,
some of them might have qualified for the consolation finals (sa
swimming, the first eight finishers go on to the finals and the
next eight have the consolation finals)(.

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- Foreign ministers of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations urged industrialized countries to forge a
compromise on the stalled Uruguay Round of trade talks Wednesday,
calling the initiative crucial for both developed and developing
nations.
	In a joint communique issued at the end of a two-day meeting here,
the ASEAN ministers said failure of the round of General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade ``could only further restrict economic growth
opportunities, encourage protectionist policies and seriously weaken the
multilateral trading system.''
	The Uruguay Round of the 108-nation GATT talks to lower tariffs and
bring services under free-trade rules is 19 months past their original
deadline, mired in political and economic disputes.
	Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand
make up the ASEAN. Vietnam and Laos became observer members of ASEAN
Wednesday, joining Papua New Guinea.
	The ASEAN ministers ``expressed dismay'' over the failure of the
United States and the European Community to bridge a stalemate on
agricultural subsidies, which is viewed as the main factor blocking
agreement.
	Partly in response to the rise of trading blocs around the globe and
the GATT paralysis, the ministers pledged to push ahead with plans for
an ASEAN freetrade zone within 15 years.
	Businesses in several of the countries are lobbying for their
products and industries to be excluded from the agreement, which would
gradually lower tariffs in 15 broad categories.
	The industrialists fear lucrative businesses could be wiped out by
lower-priced, higher-quality imports from other ASEAN countries.
	Several ministers complained of rising protectionism in
industrialized countries during the Manila meetings. They said stepped-
up import bans on products containing environmentally endangered
materials were unfairly shutting out Asian products.
	``Large and powerful economic groupings among developed countries
must strengthen an open international economic regime, in particular, an
open multilateral trading system,'' the ASEAN ministers said.

       An addendum to the FilAm party affiliation curiosity,


       San Jose Mercury News (7/24/92) cites:

               "According to a computer analysis by  Winning
          Data  Inc.   of  Santa Clara, Chinese-Americans in
          Santa Clara County are  slightly  more  Republican
          than  Democratic,  whereas Korean-Americans divide
          their party loyalties equally.  Japanese-Americans
          and    Filipino-Americans    are    overwhelmingly
          Democratic."

       Silicon Valley may not be a microcosm of Fil-Am politiks,
       but it shows some interesting trend.

PRESS RELEASE
24.7.92
The commercial bank deal is, in essence a very big gamble.
And the executive has gambled with money, P32.1 billion, that
may otherwise be appropriated by Congress for purposes which
are more important, more productive and more urgent.  And we
say that President Ramos will live to regret this decision.
The executive is doing this at a time when Congress has yet to
convene and start deliberating on a national budget which is
supposed to prime up an economy that has ground to a halt.  It
is the best time for government to spend more to increase
demand, create jobs and dust of the country's underemployed
machines and brawn.  It is the worst time for bringing
resources out of the country.
One dollar spent in the Philippines today can generate more
returns than one dollar spent in paying debt which is not even
falling due yet.
At this time nothing can better improve the creditworthiness
of the country save the priming up of the economy with money
that is already here in the coffers of the National Treasury.
Nothing can better make the country more unattractive to
foreign investors than the continued stagnation of the economy
because of austerity measures which, even at this time, are
already being prepared by Mr Christopher Browne of the
International Monetary Fund.
Even by their own standards, our debt negotiators know that
they have a lousy deal in their hands.  This deal is
manifestly interior to deals which Argentine, Brazil and
Venezuela were able to bargain.  The FDC has painstakingly
demonstrated this fact but the executive has paid no heed and
has not been able to answer our claims.
Contrary to our negotiators' claims it is those conutries
which earlier on implemented unilateral actions on debt which
were able to force the creditors to negotiate for deals which
are superior.  There is no denying this.
In short, this is all a mistake.  Rather than leaving the debt
issue behind us, we have only increased the probability of
being further left behind.
The FDC will continue to pursue legal avenues to invalidate
the agreement.  We will also ask the Senate and the Lower
House to require Mr. del Rosario and Mr. Cuisia to stand
before the public and defend this act.

	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- The government said Tuesday former first
lady Imelda Marcos may finally be allowed to temporarily leave the
country if she posts a $28,000 security bond and agrees to inform the
courts of her travel itinerary.
	A judge Monday revoked permission for Mrs. Marcos to travel to Hong
Kong after the government appealed a court ruling that had allowed her
to leave. The former first lady had also failed to pay a required
security bond.
	But Justice Secretary Franklin Drilon Tuesday ordered government
prosecutors to withdraw their objection to Mrs. Marcos' departure
provided she paid $28,000 as a security bond and furnished the courts a
copy of her proposed 10-day travel schedule.
	Drilon also required Mrs. Marcos to give the court the addresses
where she planned to say while in Hong Kong and to inform the Philippine
Embassy in the British colony within 24 hours of her arrival.
	The widow of ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos would also be required
to report to the Philippine courts within 48 hours or her return, Drilon
said.
	``Any violation of the foregoing conditions shall mean confiscation
of the additional cash bonds...immediate revocation of her authority to
travel and cancellation of her passport,'' he said in a statement.
	Mrs. Marcos asked last week for permission to fly to Hong Kong for
meetings she said would speed an effort to settle out of court 36 civil
charges she faces for the alleged plunder of the Philippine treasury
during her husband's 20-year rule.
	Mrs. Marcos, 63, had originally been scheduled to depart last Sunday
on what would be her first trip abroad since she returned home from
exile in November last year.
	Manila has agreed to negotiate a settlement on several court cases
with the Marcos family in a bid to recoup a portion of the billions of
dollars the Marcoses allegedly stole from the country before being
chased into exile in a 1986 revolt.
	A six-year legal effort under former president Corazon Aquino had
failed to recover money allegedly looted during the Marcos regime.

	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- Foreign ministers of six Asian nations
called Tuesday for better access to Western markets and pledged to set
up a regional free trade zone within 15 years despite resistance from
domestic business empires.
	``Apart from increasing trade among ourselves, securing continued
access to Western markets and technology must now become the most vital
and common concern of ourselves and our regional partners,'' Philippine
President Fidel Ramos told the 25th ministerial meeting of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
	Many Southeast Asian countries say industrialized nations are
increasingly using restrictions, such as bans on products made with
environmentally endangered materials, to freeze Asian goods out of their
markets.
	Regional trade and security concerns will top the two days of
discussions between foreign ministers of ASEAN, which includes Brunei,
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
	Thai Foreign Minister Arsa Sarasin said protectionism, rising
economic blocs around the globe and stalled multi-lateral trade talks
made forming an ASEAN free trade area crucial to the region's
prosperity.
	ASEAN leaders agreed in Singapore in January to create a free trade
area within the group by gradually decreasing tariffs in the region.
	But business interests in several countries are lobbying their
governments for their products and industries to be exempted from the
common effective preferential tariff plan that is supposed to begin by
January next year.
	The industrialists fear their lucrative domestic businesses could be
wiped out by lower-priced, higher-quality imports from other ASEAN
member states.
	Although Arsa and other ministers acknowledged the free trade
agreement could initially be painful for several of their domestic
industries, they maintained their governments would press ahead with the
plan.
	``We must convince (domestic businesses) them that they too will
stand to benefit from the the longer term gains that are bound to accure
from the opening of our markets to one another,'' Arsa said, adding he
hoped ASEAN could shorten the 15-year time frame for the agreement.
