hello all you Expats!
I will be in the San Francisco Bay Area in the first half of August.  I also
plan to be at the Boston Macworld show from Aug 3-8.  If it's possible, I'm
really interested in meeting some of you folks, especially the STAC people. Do
you folks have any regular meetings/get-togethers? Pls let me know how we can
get in touch. I'd very much like to know what sort of technical expertise is
out there.  I used to work in the Santa Clara Valley (84-88) for Tri-Data (now
a division of Avatar) doing Macintosh development, and back then I really
wasn't aware of any Filipino Engineers in the area (except maybe Mon Carlos).
 
Hoping to hear from you soon,

>>>Why do Filipino movie plots are always the same, like;

I've been reading this thread for a couple of days now, and I have yet to
see anyone mention the abundance of Filipino Adult movies.  I was surprised
to learn recently that there even WAS such a thing available.  I learned
of a Filipino video store in town recently, so I went in.  The owner showed
me where the Filipino movies were, and then he said that if I was interested
in Adult Filipino movies, that he had them in a special section, which he
pointed out.  Out of curiosity, I looked at them, and there was an amazingly
large selection.  I was shocked; not at the content of the material, but at
the fact that Filipinas would even make such films.  I guess I was swayed
by the stereotype that all filipinas are virgins until married, and that
none of them cheat on spouses or get divorced.  I now realize that they
are like anyone else of any other nationality, in that they do get divorced,
some do cheat on their spouses, and some do lose their virginity before 
marriage.  And yes, now obviously, some do act in Adult videos.  This was
quite an enlightening discovery for me.  Any other comments from anyone
concerning this specific area of Filipino films?	--Keith

	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy plans to complete its
pullout from Subic Bay Naval Base by Nov. 24 -- about three weeks earlier
than originally planned, according to the military newspaper Stars and
Stripes.
	In an edition scheduled for release Wednesday, the newspaper quoted
an unclassified Navy document issued last week as saying the pullout had
been moved up. It did not give a reason.
	Manila rejected a proposed new lease on the base last year and gave
Washington until Dec. 31 to complete a withdrawal from the sprawling
repair and logistics center, 60 miles northwest of the capital.
	The pace of the U.S. withdrawal has been a sensitive point with
Manila. The continuing pullout is leaving tens of thousands of Filipino
workers jobless, while government plans to turn the base into a free
port are mired in red tape and political infighting.
	Several lawmakers have accused the Navy of rushing its pullout out of
spite.
	Washington reportedly is interested in obtaining access rights to a
military airport attached to Subic as part of a growing network of such
agreements in the region.
	Secretary of State James Baker and President Fidel Ramos agreed in a
meeting in Manila Saturday to defer any decision on bilateral security
arrangements until a joint defense meeting scheduled for November.

Dear SCF-ers,
  I am writing to request any information from people in the know.
I am planning to visit Manila this December, mainly to enjoy the 
Filipino pasko, but also to have my US VISA renewed.
  If i remember correctly, when i got my visa two years ago, it
was only about two weeks between the application and actual inter-
view, then an extra week to issuance. I hear from my friends back
home that it is now three weeks from application to interview,
then another three weeks to actual issuance of visa. Can anybody
confirm this? and if true, can anybody offer any suggestions to
get up, over, under, or around this six week hurdle, as i can only
take three weeks to a month off from work and studies.
  Also, while we're at it, can anybody supply the PHONE and FAX
number of the US Consulate there in Manila?
  Will really appreciate any info you can provide.
  Thanx a lot,

Organization: University of Pennsylvania

HONG KONG (UPI) -- Students and Filipino maids staged a demonstration
Friday against Imelda Marcos, stacking shoes in front of the former
Philippines first lady's hotel to protest her presence in Hong Kong.
	A handful of Asian students and about 30 Filipino maids working in
the British colony protested against a visit by Marcos to talk to
bankers about recovering some of the money her late husband reportedly
stashed in Hong Kong.
	The demonstrators piled up about 50 pairs of high-heeled shoes in
front of her luxury hotel into what they called ``the Marcos monument of
shame.'' Marcos was not present for the protest.
	The peaceful demonstration, organized by Asian Students Association,
aimed to draw public attention to Marcos' presence in Hong Kong, which
they deplored.
	``High-heeled shoes are the symbol of Imelda,'' said Lina Cabaero,
one of the organizers of the protest. ``If you ask any Filipino what is
their impression of her, they will tell you that it is her 3,000 pairs
of shoes.''
	``We therefore used the shoes to build the Marcos monument of shame
to express our anger at the Marcos regime and the dark age that the
dictator gave us.''
	Marcos arrived in Hong Kong Tuesday on her first trip outside the
Philippines since she returned to her country from exile last November.
The Philippines government offered to drop some civil charges against
her if she would repay some of the money Ferdinand Marcos reportedly
looted from the treasury during his 20-year rule. Marcos died in exile
in Hawaii in 1989.
	``I only brought used high-heel shoes,'' said Mary, one of the
Filipino maids at the demonstration. ``It is the only pair that I can
afford. She is one of the persons who make us suffer from poverty''.
	One Filipino wore an Imelda Marcos mask to the demonstration, holding
signs saying, ``Imelda stops trampling on Filipino people's dignity,''
and ``Free political prisoners, not Imelda Marcos.''
	The demonstration ended in an hour without incident. The organizers
said they planned another protest on Sunday, the day off for the 80,000
Filipino maids working in Hong Kong.

I guess it's hard to know what part of it is truth and what is fictitious,
but boy, did this book really scare me. 

It's amazing how they were able to come up with all that information.  Truth

Date: 22 Jul 92 15:56:57 GMT
Followup-To: soc.culture.filipino
Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- The country's chief volcanologist warned
Tuesday there were indications Mount Pinatubo volcano northwest of
Manila could have another major eruption, possibly within weeks or
months.
	Raymundo Punongbayan, director of the Philippine Institute of
Volcanology and Seismology, predicted the explosion would be similar to
a major eruption three days before the volcano's June 15, 1991 blast,
which was considered the biggest eruption of this century.
	More than 700 people died during the latter eruption and the months
of mud and volcanic ash flows that followed.
	``I am announcing for the first time today that we are not
discounting a major explosion as what happened on June 12 (1991),'' said
in a television interview. ``We are now seeing signs that may indicate
possible explosive eruptions from Pinatubo.''
	Pinabubo's June 12 explosion spewed ash plumes reaching up to 12.5
miles above the crater. The June 15 ``big bang'' sent ash columns up to
25 miles into the air.
	Punongbayan said he doubted the volcano would repeat its fury of June
15 last year. But asked when the next major eruption would take place,
Punongbayan said: ``We are not talking about years. This eruption could
happen in weeks or months.''
	Pinatubo, 60 miles northwest of Manila, began a ``quiet eruption''
last week after nearly a year of inactivity, emitting lava and steam
clouds several meters high. The lava was forming a dome at the center of
a lake at the volcano's crater.
	But Punongbayan said recent signs showed more magma, or molten rock,
was pushing its way toward the surface, an indication which ``is
somewhat similar'' to what scientists recorded just before last year's
furious eruptions.
	The ash spewed from the volcano blanketed wide areas of a region just
north of the capital and forced the closure of a major U.S. Air Force
Base and briefly crippling Washington's giant Subic Bay Naval Station.
	Millions of tons of volcanic debris have been deposited on its flanks
and are washed down during the annual rainy season, silting rivers,
burying villages and scourging the fertile farmlands of what was once
the country's rice bowl.
	Scientists said the seasonal destruction of the mudflows, called
lahar, could last up to 10 years and a major eruption at this point
could complicate the problem.
	Thousands of residents have already fled their homes to squalid
evacuation centers at the start of this year's rainy season because of
the threat of lahar.

I recently saw "Gumapang Ka sa Lusak" directed by Lino Brocka.  It was selected
for showing at the San Francisco Film Festival (placing it in good company with
films from around the world).  I tried to see it there, but they had some problems
with the film so I had to rent it.  I found it quite good.  It also has a
parody on the Marcos's.

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- Authorities released 13 suspected
regional communist leaders Wednesday in a gesture of support for
President Fidel Ramos' call for the legalization of the Communist Party.
	The rebels appeared momentarily stunned then broke into tears and
hugged each other after police intelligence chief, Col. Dictador
Alqueza, announced during a news conference they would be freed
immediately.
	Police identified the 13 suspects, who were arrested in a series of
raids on rebel ``safehouses'' in the capital Monday, as officials or
members of the outlawed Communist Party in the northern Philippines.
	They include former Roman Catholic priest Cirilo Ortega and Johanna
Carino, a former professor at the University of the Philippines, the
country's most prestigious state-run school.
	``With the latest pronouncements of the president, this command will
be releasing them all today,'' Alqueza said, surprising the suspects.
	He said, however, rebellion charges would still be filed against
them.
	``I really want to go home because I have children,'' said Carino,
breaking into tears. She denied she was a party leader.
	Benedict Solang, an alleged member of the party's regional executive
committee, welcomed their release but said, ``We want to feel more
substantive concretization of this apparent new directive of the
government -- like stopping the total war.''
	Ramos, a former armed forces chief, asked Congress in his state- of-
the-nation address Monday to repeal the nation's anti-subversion law.
	The abolition of the decree would legalize the Communist Party of the
Philippines and the 15,00-member New Peoples Army, which have been
battling the government for the past 23 years.
	Legislators said they were studying the proposal, which has received
wide support among police and military officials.
	``I'm glad that they were able to do that (release the suspects)
because this would renew the spirit of reconciliation and unification
that is intended to be projected,'' said Defense Secretary Renato de
Villa.
	Observers said the legalization of the party would strip the
communist movement of a reason for its armed struggle.
