Local news...I see shoes...I see shoes...


The sandal festival is going on...there are huge shoes and sandals all over in front of shops and in front of the supermakerts when we went shopping today.

As I mentioned below, we are picking up Lolo's classmate at the airport tomorrow...and there are worries about bombings after hearing about the London plot...especially since PAL has been bombed in the past.

Two bombs in Southern Philippines ,,
one seems to be just a grenade thrown at a police sentry...
Well, nothing like that happens here.
Here in Gapan, they just throw granades into bars because they're mad at the owner...

And another plane of refugees from Lebanon arrives, with another Rapunzel in a wheelchair...

News not quite as biased as last week, but VDH pretty well says it all HERE>
...and if this is how BBC and CNN report things, imagine how bad it is in the state operated Arab media?

and finally, Mayon volcano is quiet...everyone has been evacuated...the quiet before the big blow?
