RP-US military exercises to be held in CL
The RP-US joint military exercises, which will be held in Central Luzon starting October 16, will have a different scheme, an Air Force official said.
"It will consist mostly of civic and medical missions in towns in Tarlac and Nueva Ecija," said Lieutenant Colonel Allan Ballesteros, spokesperson for Talon Vision '09.
Ballesteros said except for some parachuting exercises, other airborne joint exercises usually done during Talon Vision have been scrapped.
He disclosed that the Philippine Air Force (PAF) does not have counterpart aircraft to complement the sophisticated US aircraft.
Some of the expected 2,000 US marine personnel have already arrived here via Subic Bay, according to Ballesteros.
"They will be based as usual at the Holiday Inn at Clark," he added.
The military contingents from the PAF and the Philippine Marines have already implemented several programs for school construction in Central Luzon.
"We expect the Americans to move in with their prefabricated materials by October 15, so that by the end of Talon vision on October 28, the buildings could be turned over to the local government units," he said.
Ballesteros said the PAF personnel will team up with the 36th US Marines Air Group to put up a school building each in Barangay David in San Jose and Barangay Bueno in Capas, both in Tarlac.
In Guimba, Nueva Ecija, joint US-RP Marines teams are also to construct another school building.
"Medical missions are also slated in Sta. Ignacia West in Sta. Ignacia, and BArangays Sula and Iba in San Jose, all in Tarlac. Another one will be held in Manggang Maasin in Guimba, Nueva Ecija," Ballesteros said.
He added that most of the usual Talon Vision air borne military exercises would not be held this time. (RGN)

Wala bang anti-prostitution program ang SBMA? Tuwing may mga US Military ships, nagkalat ang mga "undocumented prostitutes" sa loob ng SBMA particularly sa Bar area ng Pier 1 Disco. Makikita rin na nagkalat sila sa may Waterfront at sa mga tabi ng mga hotels. Ito ba ay ini-encourage ng management ng SBMA at mga businesses sa SBMA bilang attraction? OK lang ba ito?

Sa Pier 1 rampant na ang undocumented sex workers na nagkukunwaring customer sa may Bar. Bakit walang corrective action ang SBMA at mga business owners?

Bakit di mag-assign ng detectives sa Pier 1 o sa may Waterfront road, para ma-identified ang mga "undocumented sex workers o prostitutes". Tapos ay paghuhulihin sila at i-charge ng violation of anti-prostitution law? Ng sa ganun ay mabawasan man lang ang lumalaganap na illegal sex trades sa SBMA.

illegal prosti man sila o mga hindi disenteng tao, dapat lang na bigyan sila ng pagkakataon na kumita para mabuhay. Pero, dapat ay may protection din sila sa abuse, harrassment, at health risks na posibleng gawin ng mga "guests" o customers nila. Gawin silang regular employee na lang ng SBMA o ng mga businesses na gusto silang tanggapin.

Aminin na natin, talagang kawawa ang mga kababaihang pinay saan man lugar ng mundo. Kilala na sila bilang nagbebenta ng aliw kasi kelangan nila ng pera para mabuhay sila at ang kanilang pamilya. Ever since, ganyan na sila, i mean karamihan sa kanila. Kapag may barko ng US military sa Subic, parang fiesta ito sa kanila, as usual $ ang hanap nila. Kawawa o siguro talagang "nakagawian" nang hanapbuhay nila ito. Pwede rin na mga tamad karamihan sa kanila, easy money nga naman ang trabahong prosti o "pokpok" kung tawagin nila. Walang magagawa ang SBMA management sa issue ito kasi baka pati sila ay kliyente o guests ng mga Pier 1 o Waterfront Angels, hahaha.... Hay buhay Pinoy...!!!
