You're welcome granny.
I'm sure there might be some lessons learned here.
Tribal clans? No. PI is run by women. Their culture is of Spanish/Catholic heritage. They did not want to be a US State. Thankfully they gained independance post WWII and then had a small revolution in 1985 era. MacArthur's little brown brothers are doing just fine and say loudly maraming salamat! Otang laob.
Let's get this jerk off the bus.
He is off the bus now.

BANNER ONLY: "Breaking News >> Standoff Involving Busload of Children Being Held Hostage Ends Peacefully"
Here are two newly translated articles you might find interesting (excuse the mistakes). Hiarrell's has some info on Olga Romanova and Svetlana's daughter, and Natalya from Snezhinsk has some interesting insights into the 'black widows'.

Cindy, I felt the same when I read the two links above, that
"There must be something to learn here", hostages telling their own stories.
ABC radio news, just said that all the children are off the bus and safe.
God is busy these days.
Thank God. We shouldn't forget that terrorists come in all shapes and sizes.
You refer to old money--we saw that on our trip to the Philippines a decade ago.
Typical scenario: small town on Cebu---wealthy family with Chinese blood own a small manufacturing firm making bamboo furniture--all the workers are local Pilipinos treated pretty badly by the owners...lots of obsequious behavior toward the owner's family etc.
Quite discouraging.
Thank you for the links, Granny.
"God is busy these days."
BIG DITTO.
Ditto and I have not forgotten.
Did you hear about the Beijing Olympic scare? They found devices buried at a race track to injure the horses?
You are welcome.
