According to the latest issue of Philippine News, there is
a substantial oil find in Mindanao based on NASA satellite
examinations.  The article says that the oil deposit could
be one of the biggest found in that part of the world.  A 
consortium out of Texas is suppose to develop/explore the
find and will initially plow in a capital worth something like
200 M US dollars.  

This is wonderful news especially for the development of
Mindanao.  However, there goes the Philippine environment and
the whatever remaining virgin forests there are in the area.

many of my friends have been talking about something like this for
a long time: a filipino network that would allow us to pool our 
resources and efforts together.  it's possible that scf may be the 
catalyst that will allow such a thing to happen.  people-networking 
has proven to be successful to other minority groups (esp. in the u.s.) 
that have since transformed  themselves from their humble origins.  

anyone interested in the nyc (ie. manhattan) area?

If you're looking for something exotic which you can make your very own,
maybe you should try the local exotic pet store.  It's hard to believe that
you are serious, so I am not taking you seriously...  By the way, you forgot

  Why bring her to the States? Your dollars would go a long way if you send
her to school in the Philippines.  If she is really good, then she shouldn't
have a hard time entering any of the top RP universities.  In fact, she 
shouldn't have a difficult time getting an NSTA scholarship if she's 
interested in taking a science-oriented course. Just send her the dollars.

Well, all these comments about the image problem of Filipinos were very interesting.

I will be going back to the Philippines soon as I have passed my doctoral dissertation
and completed all the requirements for the PhD.   

In all honesty, I must say that I am scared and am preparing myself for the "shock" upon
returning home.  Life will be very different from here, that`s for sure.  

I made this decision because I personally feel that I want to help the country in any way
I can.  I know that I cannot change the situation back home, but I can sure as hell try 
my best to do something good for the people.  This is an obligation that I feel personally
committed to.

I think that Filipinos here do care about their country and their culture.  It`s a question
of how far is one willing to go for the benefit of the country.  That can only be answered
by the person himself/herself.  I  think Filipinos here in the US can be useful in  helping
our country.  It just needs some coordination and cooperation.

Oh Well,  that's my 2 pesos worth of comments.

Since condom distribution is promoted at least as much in Thailand
and since it's one of the centers of Asian sex tourism, you might
think the issue of appropriate condom size would have already come
up.  Now do the Thai provide a selection both for larger Western penises
and smaller Asian penises or are the penises of Thai men closer in
size to Western penises and do Filipino men have penises smallest of
the three.  Or is the average Thai penis and Filipino penis about
the same size and the larger Western penis simply accepts the snugger
fit of a Thai condom?  Or perhaps still again, are all these penises
the same size on average and the condoms unusually large?  More
generally, if one were to take a random sample of Filipino penises
and a random sample of condoms, how well would they fit?

Let's take the proverbial Filipino penis in a state of complete
erection and just prior to ejaculation.  If condom fit is a function of
the cross sectional diameter of an erect Filipino penis at its widest
point along with condom diameter, how much smaller may a Filipino penis
be to a condom before the fit is unacceptable?  Let's call this limit
DFP (delta Filipino penis).  Further, consider only the average diameter
condom and assume anything smaller could accommodate a Filipino penis,
or Filipenis for short (no pun intended).  That is, any average or
smaller condom would have a DFP from zero to some positive X for a
population of Filipenises.  The question now becomes, for a random
sample of Filipenises, what fraction would have a DFP (delta Filipino
penis) of less than one versus the average condom.  Results of such
a study would determine the degree to which condom makers would have
to adjust their product line to fit Filipenises.

Why do you folks (the folks that have) assume that everyone here has

And I've got a lot to contribute.  And I have.  And I will keep on

	My wife's youngest sister is going to college now in Cebu,
Philippines.  I've been over there several times, and was at this
young woman's high school graduation.  She graduated Salutatorian, and
gave an impressive speech.  Currently, she is studying under a 
scholarship, but her opportunities are very limiting compared to
her potential.  My wife will become a citizen in a couple more years,

lodging and she can work part-time to pay for food, but there's no way
to cover out-of-state tuition charges for the local University.  At the
