                    [Summary] => For a while there, world security analysts felt cosy. A global uprising of Muslims against the West that Osama bin Laden had calculated in the wake of his 9/11 terror attacks did not unfold. Instead Islamic leaders denounced his jihad as a mad reading of the Koran. Muslim governments took the opportunity to crush extremist groups that had held their lands hostage for years. Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, even Pakistan clamped down on preachers of violence. Bin Laden’s dispersed al-Qaeda mujahedin could not regroup.

                    [Summary] => Recently, Entertainment TV’s popular show Wild On did an hour-long segment on the Philippines (it hasn’t aired here yet, but I had an advance preview from the States). As you would expect, there was ample exposure of local spokesbabes and models wearing bikinis, as well as displays of banana-boating, water-skiing and volleyball in Boracay. There were obligatory shots of drunken revelers and lots of pixilated breasts, scenes that could have been substituted with any other Wild On location in the world.

Hedwig’s troubled childhood gave way to a disastrous adolescence. Seduced by an American G.I., the shy boy underwent a botched sex change operation that left him neither completely male nor female.

Lea, who has won the Sir Lawrence Olivier and Tony Awards for her portrayal of Kim, will be leaving for New York to star in the Miss Saigon Broadway production together with Will Chase who has left Filipinos in awe because of his performance as American G.I. Chris in the Manila production.
