[Title] => Red, white & blue, the stars are over you
[Summary] => Stars from above and below shone on the US Embassy’s celebration last Monday of the 229th year of American independence. It was a star-studded affair.
Spared by typhoon "Emong" by a mere 12 hours, the reception, held at the Charles Parsons Ballroom and the lawns of the American Embassy (recently declared a National Historical site by the National Historical Institute), had a starlit sky as a canopy. It didn’t rain on the American parade – which was complete with hotdogs, burgers, yellow corn and Coca-Cola.

[Title] => US to RP: We are stronger allies
[Summary] => The United States hailed yesterday its strong ties with the Philippines as it expressed hope that despite the "ups and downs" of bilateral relations, "we find ourselves stronger allies."
The celebration was marked by the unprecedented attendance of President Arroyo, who gave no speech. It was the first time since she took office in 2001 that the US-educated Mrs. Arroyo attended the Fourth of July celebration at the embassy, which was capped by a rousing fireworks display over Manila Bay behind the embassy grounds.

[Title] => Polo Club proxy vote is like signing a blank check
[Summary] => Concerned members revealed the Manila Polo Club board of directors is asking for a general proxy vote for all purposes. Using the excuse of the lack of quorum due to minimal attendance of general membership meetings, the ruling good governance team reportedly wants to use this scheme to railroad several important initiatives. Concerned members have warned that members need to be vigilant and not just give their proxy votes away because in so doing, they could unwittingly approve anything that the board wants to push through for its own purposes.

[Title] => Mussomeli: US appreciates effort of 4 Pinoy seamen in protecting US environment
[Summary] => It pays to abide by the law.
United States Embassy chargé d’affaires Joseph Mussomeli said yesterday the US government has given cash rewards totaling $250,000 (about P13.6 million) to four Filipino seamen who reported their cargo ship’s violations of US and international environmental laws.
The reward, Mussomeli said, was given to show gratitude and appreciation for the courage and integrity these seamen showed because they may be blacklisted by shipping companies.
