Interesting assertion by John Ho that I've also heard from many
other people.  It's just that I never seem to hear any specific
stories that are factual with clearly supporting evidence, or even
rumored, but specific enough.

Anyway, I heard an interesting idea from an inventor/enterpreneur  
type friend that one way to generate power in the Philippines
is by use of a thermocouple.  (Power can be generated if you
have a temperature gradient between two points)  The temperature
difference between the cold bottom of the Philippine Deep, which
has the deepest bottom of any body of water in the world, and 
its surface, which receives plenty of sunshine, has a large
enough temperature difference to justify building a massive
thermocouple.  He claims that the idea is old, that several
studies have been made in the past, but that the only deterrent
for the big company or the rich inventor is the unstable 
political situation.  

Has anyone else heard of this idea?

Earlier, Angelo Paguia stated that although he asked the question
"how do you know that the Bible is the word of God?", he did not
intend to put the fact to doubt. That, indeed, the Bible is the word of
God.

Well, I don't see why. Just because it is the most widely read (well,
owned) published piece of literature in history? Or it's age? What is the
proof that that it is the word of God?

A lot of people has the impression of Philippines as the only Christian nation
in the South East of Asia and I belong to those people before.  Let us see the
definition of Christian before I go onward, Christian are all those people that
have Christ in their hearts and follow the teachings of Jesus (this is my
personal definition).

As to your question, Yes indeed, there are a lot of Christian nowadays in the
Philippines, I guess because most of the hardship that they are experiencing
now in the Philippines.

I hope that your faith is right about Purgatory.  Remember Lazarus and the

damnation which is the hell.  There is only way to heaven and that is in
John 14:6 and that will be up to you.  I don't know the way to purgatory

        COTABATO, Philippines (UPI) -- Police were searching Sunday for Muslim
militants suspected of shooting to death 18 Christian villagers in a
Christmas day massacre in the southern Philippines, the army said.
        An army spokesman said about 30 heavily armed Muslim gunmen swooped
down on Liungan village in North Cotabato province, about 550 miles
south of Manila, on Friday and rounded up players and spectators at a
basketball game.
        The gunmen herded the group inside a classroom and cut them down with
automatic weapons, he said, killing 18 and wounding eight.
        Shirly Valera, a survivor, said she heard the attackers say ``you are
traitors,'' before they opened fire with assault rifles.
        Valera, who suffered gunshot wounds in different parts of the body,
told authorities she played dead and crawled out of the classroom as
soon as the gunmen left.
        The spokesman said the incident was believed to be in retaliation for
the killing a day earlier of an undetermined number of Muslim youths by
suspected Christian militiamen in a nearby village.
        Authorities were looking into reports the suspects could be members
of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, one of three factions battling for
a separate Muslim state in the southern Philippines, the spokesman said.
        Several armed groups, including religious cults and bandits, also
operate in the area.

Every year for Xmas my father (deceased) would make an array of filipino
food that he would share with friends and neighbors.  I would really like
to pass on some of these receipes to my children, however, I have no idea
what he made.  I do know that he would make something called Bibingka(sp?)
a cake made with coconut.  Also, sticky rice squares(?).  A unique thing
he'd make was something that looked like a tamale, except it was made
with rice, and stuffed with a small portion of nuts and meat.  The outside
was wrapped with bannana leaf.  All this is described from memory.  In any
case, he would arrange these plus other interesting goodies on a large
round platter.  We would then go from door to door in our apartment and
offer these treats.  I really have fond memories of those days.......
It is almost impossible to find any kind of cookbook that contains filipino
receipes.

Can any one help here?  Surely this kind of activity must still go on
during Christmas(?)

Call me a nitpicker but:

I OBJECT!

The Philippines is NOT a "Christian" nation. As a democracy (okay,
professed democracy), there is constitutional separation of church and
state, and guaranteed freedom of worship. While over 90% of Filipinos
profess to being Catholics, I would not label the entire country as
Christian. It would be prejudicial. Hey, Spanish rule ended a very long
time ago!

ILIGAN, Philippines (UPI) -- Gunmen on motorcycles opened fire with
assault rifles and killed a former governor in front of his wife in the
southern Philippines, police and witnesses said Tuesday.
	Police said Francisco Abalos, 48, who was defeated in the last
election for governor in Lanao del norte, was gunned down at about 6:30
a.m. local time, Tuesday at a gas station in Tubod, Iligan city, 450
miles south of Manila.
	Elpidio Capiduso, who witnessed the shooting, said five men riding
motorcycles opened fire on Abalos with M-16 Armalite rifles.
	Capiduso said Abalos and an assistant were in a Nissan four-door
sedan waiting for his wife who was just arriving when the gunmen opened
fire.
	``It was so sudden, the men just opened fire and fled,'' Capiduso
said.
	Abalos sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was declared dead on
arrival at Mercy hospital.
	District police commander Col.Porawa Tia said Abalos' unidentified
companion was seriously wounded, while his wife Marietta was unhurt.
	There was no known motive for the attack but investigators were
looking into the possibility the killing was politically motivated.
Police sources said the former governor was linked to the killing of a
politician in Manila shortly after the May 11 elections.

MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- The Philippines will auction off former first
lady Imelda Marcos' jewels in May 1993 and expects to earn as nuch as $18
million, a senior official said Tuesday.

Magtanggol Gunigundo, chairman of an agency formed to recover wealth
allegedly plundered by Mrs. Marcos and her late husband Ferdinand, indicated
Christies will conduct the auction in Geneva, Switzerland.

The jewels include those being kept inside a vault at the Philippine Central
Bank and items seized by customs authorities in Honolulu, where the Marcoses
fled after the 20-year ruler was deposed in a popular army revolt in 1986.
