Noble and Ever Loyal City: The Manila Tranvia
Reblogged from theurbanhistorian
If you have been in Hong Kong or San Francisco once, then you might have seen their own tranvias still running, enduring the test of time. Manila had a working and efficient tranvia system, I daresay more extensive than the current LRT-MRT system we have today. The war and the emergence of the…

On disputed Spratly isle, boredom is main concern - Yahoo! News
Reblogged from pinoytumblr
PAG-ASA ISLAND, South China Sea (AP) — On this speck of a sun-splashed island in the turquoise South China Sea, there is little sign of the tensions that have consumed politicians and diplomats in distant Asian capitals.
Six different nations are pressing their stake to all or part of these potentially oil- and gas-rich waters teeming with fish. Most recently, the Philippines and Vietnam have been wrangling with China in a noisy territorial dispute that is dominating this week’s Asian security forum in Bali.
And yet, here on Pag-asa, the only sounds are the waves slapping the shore and the wind whistling in the ears. At high noon, fighting off sleep is a struggle.
There are no cars, newspapers, Internet connections or shopping malls on an island that mostly consists of a single gravel airstrip and some structures. This, one of the nine islands, reefs and shoals occupied by Philippine troops, is also claimed by China, whose looming presence and rising military power is a worry for outgunned neighbors.
Two Filipino police officers, looking bored, say there hasn’t been a single crime for years.
“One big problem really is how to kill time,” said Mayor Eugenio Bito-onon Jr. of Kalayaan town, which includes far-flung Pag-asa.
“After fishing, walking around, playing billiards and cards, what else can one do next?” wondered the bespectacled mayor.
