                    [Summary] => 

The Republic of The Gambia celebrates its 42nd anniversary of independence from British rule today.


Despite the geographical distance between the two countries, the Philippines and Gambia have become close allies. The Gambia is some 9,000 miles away from the country, situated along the Atlantic Coast of Western Africa.


The efforts initiated in June 2005 by the establishment of an honorary consulate in Manila and, even more significantly, by the state visit of President Alhaji Dr. Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh have borne fruit in the bilateral relations of the two countries.

                    [Summary] => The Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC) dropped plans to pursue five oil and gas exploration blocks offered by the government of Gambia in Africa, PNOC president Eduardo Mañalac said over the weekend. 


"We will not take the offer because we found very little or low potential," Mañalac said. 


The PNOC earlier explored oil and gas reserves in Gambia west of Africa following an offer from Gambian president Alhaji Dr. Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh to explore five exploration blocks there at no cost to the government.

Visiting Gambian President Dr. Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh was particularly proud of the fact that a variety of his country’s peanuts — their top export product — came to Gambia in 1966 all the way from the Philippines.
