Birth Tourism...in Hong Kong?
According to official statistics, 95,337 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2011 and as much as 40% of babies’ parents are birth tourists from Mainland China.
According to the Hong Kong Basic Law, the mini-constitution in Hong Kong, children born to parents of Chinese origin can enjoy right of abode and full citizenship even though neither of the parents is a local resident. As a result, a large number of mainland Chinese pregnant women travel to Hong Kong to give birth so as to escape from the one-child policy and pave the future for their offspring.

US drones being used in the Philippines?
I knew about the airstrike that killed some major terrorists in February, but not that drones were used...
not much in this in the local news, but if it's true expect the leftists to go out in force protesting.
