United States Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton will be in Manila this week where she will meet President Arroyo at Malacañang . 

During the meeting Clinton will discuss election issues with President Arroyo including the turnover of power in 2010  in their meeting at Malacañang on Nov. 12 and 13.  Hillary is know for her love of pancit, so I am sure that will be on the menu at the palace during her visit.

During her two-day visit to Manila, Hillary Clinton will also “hold consultations with senior Filipino officials, highlighting the US-Philippines treaty alliance,” Clinton’s spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.

Would love to stop by to say “hey” while she is here, I really did hope she would be the next US President.

Former President Corazon Aquino, who swept away a dictator with a ”people power” revolt and sustained democracy by fighting off seven coup attempts in six years, died on Saturday, her son said. She was 76.

She was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer last year and confined to a Manila hospital for more than a month. Her son said the cancer had spread to other organs and she was too weak to continue chemotherapy.

May this wonderful woman rest in peace. Our prayers are with her and her family.

bomb

WTF??? Terrorist will never learn that terror brings hate from the majority of people.  There was a bombing recently at the Office of the Ombudsman in Quezon City yesterday, and today a bomb was found at outside the Department of Agriculture building in Q.C., sheesh, why the hell the Department of Agriculture?!? Maybe the terrorist aren’t too smart and they thought DA stands for District Attorney or something else.  Some people are relating this to President Gloria Arroyo trying to hold on to her presidential seat just a bit longer, not likely though, I think the President is ready to get rid of the headache that she is in now and move on.  I hope when Bayani Fernando is elected next year he can get a grip on these terrorist activities!

You can read the full story about the bomb being found here!
