Hey Ken,

How do you get all that info on the Filipino athletes? Do _you_
have the TripleBlast?

Pretty interesting how the Pinoy boxers are moving through the
opening rounds in the lower weight divisions. Wonder how long
that will last.

You must've caught Rod Swift's swimming posts. Concepcion's 
heat looked awfully slow, so that 2nd place finish wasn't
a big deal.

Too bad the PBA Dream Team couldn't qualify. You know those
Chinese athletes. The best science can engineer. :)

Subject: Human Rights Scuttle ASEAN Discussion with EC
Date: 27 Jul 92 15:36:23 GMT
Followup-To: soc.culture.filipino
Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- ASEAN foreign ministers said Saturday
they were disappointed human rights complaints had scuttled a major
economic agreement with the European Community, but remained hopeful the
treaty could still be completed.
	Foreign ministers from both regions said the proposed ASEAN-EC
Cooperation Agreement, which would replace an outdated 1980 pact, was
vital to expanding trade and other economic links.
	Portugal derailed the proposed agreement July 20, refusing to enter
into the deal with ASEAN in protest of alleged human rights abuses in
Indonesia, which is one of six ASEAN members.
	``Indonesia invaded East Timor,'' Portuguese Secretary of State Jose
Barrosa said Saturday. ``They created the problem. They have to explain
it to their colleagues in ASEAN.
	``We will not accept an agreement with ASEAN until Indonesia makes
some fundamental changes in its policies over East Timor.''
	Portugal alleges some 100,000 people have been massacred in East
Timor since Indonesia annexed the former Portuguese territory in 1976.
	The protest underlines a growing rift between ASEAN and its major
economic partners in the West over the issue of human rights.
	In talks earlier this week, the group's seven biggest trading
partners said they would increasingly link economic aid to human rights
records in recipient countries, directly contradicting the official
ASEAN position.
	The emerging democracies of ASEAN, which groups Brunei, Malaysia,
Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore, insist such
restrictions violated their cultural integrity.
	The group maintained Saturday it would resist the prodding of Western
countries to publicly pressure Burma on its alleged human rights abuses
and said it was satisfied the military regime in Rangoon was the
country's legitimate government.
	ASEAN ministers said they made no progress on reviving talks on the
proposed economic agreement during meetings Saturday with British
Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd, whose country holds the presidency of
the EC, and EC Commissioner Abel Matutes.
	Despite the impasse, Philippine Foreign Minister Raul Manglapus said
he hoped the proposed agreement could be signed during an ASEAN-EC
meeting scheduled to be held in Manila in October.
	ASEAN ``deeply regrets this development, after both sides have long
worked towards the conclusion of a new cooperation agreement,'' he said.
``Despite our disappointment, ASEAN continues to hope that a new
agreement will be negotiated soon.''
	Trade between EC and ASEAN, the world's fastest growing region, has
continually expanded, reaching an all-time high in 1991 of more than $50
billion.

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- The Philippines indicated Sunday it would
probably sign an agreement to allow U.S. troops temporary use of an air
base after Washington leaves its last permanent military installation in
the country this year.
	Speaking after talks between the United States and foreign ministers
of the six Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Ambassador Romualdo
Ong said regional security concerns added to the likelihood of such a
defense agreement.
	``It's safe to say that Philippine officials recognize the value of
the U.S. presence for maintaining peace and the balance of power in the
region,'' he said.
	Security topped discussion during meetings last week between the
ASEAN countries, which include Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, and talks ended Sunday with the
group's major economic partners.
	``I can tell you, first, that the United States says that it has
access agreements with various countries in Southeast Asia,'' Foreign
Secretary Raul Manglapus said.
	``Second, I can tell you that in (ASEAN meetings) I heard for the
first time unanimity among our Southeast Asian neighbors in favor of the
United States staying as a military presence in the region.''
	President Fidel Ramos, who took office June 30, said he would
redefine relations with the United States, which were soured when Manila
rejected a proposed new lease for Subic Naval Base and ordered
Washington to withdraw from the base by Dec. 31.
	The former defense secretary said during his presidential campaign he
hoped to offer Washington access to Cubi Point, a military airstrip
linked to Subic.
	Ramos and Secretary of State James Baker decided during a 30-minute
meeting Saturday to defer discussions on a new security relationship
until an annual joint defense board meeting scheduled for November.
	Ong said calls by all the ASEAN ministers for the United States to
remain a Pacific force would make granting Washington military access to
the Philippines more politically palatable for Ramos.
	``It would be easier in terms of congressional and public opinion,''
he said. ``The new government, if circumstances warrant, can now speak
with more confidence to the Americans for a new arrangement.''
	The United States has a military access agreement with Singapore and
is believed interested in similar arrangements with Indonesia, Malaysia,
Brunei and the Philippines. It has military bases in Japan and South
Korea.

Read the same book and after putting it down, I hate those guys even more -
especially two in particular who were so ruthless to the innocent farmers. I'm
quite impressed with the detailedness of the book. It's hard to prove whether
they are truth or fact, but if you read other similar tell-all books/white
papers - they're more similar than scattered.

There was a rumour that Danding bought all the copies of the book prior to
the elections and had them destroyed. We know people who made pabili copies
of the book only to be told that they were out-of-stock and no longer in
print.

Another documents like this worth reading is the "Coco-dile file".

China shouldn't be attracted into a trap, at a time when US troops
are not welcomed in many countiries there. US is trying to get back
its influence in that region. The US company who is willing to drill 
oil with China may just be a bait. This issue is so complicated that a 
conclusion is very difficult to be reached. The Spratly is partly
divided between countries. China is just trying to get more 
unoccupied isles, which is not that agressive as some people may
think. Wars is unlikely, as long as no part is trying get the food
in other competitors' mouth. China should be careful in handling
this issue. Otherwise, China will lose more than what can be got.

Re: A Healthy China Re: Gold, silver and Spratly

Fully agree. First the US company asked China to protect them
for drilling oil (Why don't they ask US Navy for protection?),
then came this James Baker to protect other sides. It is really
a trap. Be careful about it.

Oops, forgot the obvious! The book gives details about how Marcos and his 
cronies accumulated their "ill-gotten" wealth. Each chapter is devoted to an
important player in the Marcos administration, provides a case study like
analysis of the person (i.e. - family history, how they got into the elite
circle, what they did and how they operated). What is just fascinating is how
Manapat manages to weave his way through the intricate maze of business firms,
dummy corporations, etc. that these people have set-up for stashing the money.
Especially fascinating is how he managed to track down the maze all the way
to its foreign operations.

I have to admit that these people were really smart. If only they had directed
their skills and abilities to more nationalistic causes, we'd probably be out
there against Thailand and Indonesia as far as progress is concerned.

The title of the book is taken from a quote the former First Lady was purported
to have answered to a rich relative who questioned how the FL herself became
wealthy. "Well my dear, some people are smarter than others !"

I knew of their existence for a while.  Sound surprising?  Perhaps.
When I was young, my parents would mention "bomba films, not
for your young eyes".  It was not too difficult to notice where
the films came from, anyway.

I guess it does not get much public advertisement:  these films
just get known by word of mouth.

This was just pieced together from fragmented memories so
perhaps someone else has more to contribute ...
