text: To the four very willing swanesses of Egypt, Mass., Gloomy Gus, the wan swan from California, is just a pain in the neck. And a pain in a swan’s neck is a long, long pain. Trouble is: Gus hasn’t made passes at any of the lasses.

In 1956, a Filipino national, Thomas Cloma, claimed to have discovered 33 islands in the region and named them the Kalayaan (Freedom) Islands. Arguing that the territory was unoccupied until 1956, in 1971 the Philippines formally claimed over 60 islands and reef in the Kalayaan chain. These islands have been grouped together as an administrative district of Palawan Province.
