comments the philippines people and poverty the philippines series no 1 菲律宾系列第一集 フイリピンの時間シーリズ１ 01may09 this will be a new continuing series on one country which is dear to my heart because of its wonderful world of entertainment which drew my attention to this hereto unknown and not much talked about country and which previously like most people didn t get my attention nor interest like i am sure most of my fellow readers too being more famous for its domestic helpers overseas and its slums i have since fallen in love with its movies and stars and gone on to want to understand the country and its people and the social political and cultural issues which affect them the first series deals with poverty in the philippines which i attribute largely to its inefficient and grossly corrupt government as well as more importantly its huge population i ve always believed that large populations are not the only cause but a significant cause for poverty and the backwardness of any country including countries like the philippines i believe that is what prevents malaysia and singapore from falling into extreme poverty as compared to countries in the region such as thailand indonesia and the philippines all of which have large populations to feed and develop of cos government mismanagement and abuse of funds as well as inefficiency and corruption also play a large part but these all occur in malaysia as well but my country along with taiwan have managed to avoid such large populations of poor people or slum areas and regions of the country precisely because of the smaller population in malaysia and taiwan for instance in 1999 the philippines had 65 million people by 2009 a mere 10 years later the population had ballooned to 90 million people already this increase of 25 million people in 10 years is more than the entire population of australia and almost a reproduction of the entire malaysian population currently 28 million as well this means that in a mere 10 yrs the philippines government has had to cope with an extra population the size of australia the same goes for thailand it has around 64 million people and is well known for having poor parts of the country hence its former fame as the sex trafficking and drugs capital of the world with a large poor population especially in the north east part of thailand malaysia has by and large escaped from the reputation of poverty as thailand and the philippines has precisely because it has at least 60 million less people to look after when compared to the philippines and at least half the population of thailand this means both thailand and the philippines may have middle and upper class populations equivalent of the whole of malaysia 28 million but they still have the extra 60 million or 30 million more people which appear in slums and fill the streets of manila and isaan in thailand i mean its not like the malaysian govt is any better than the thai one and the malaysian government oft makes dumb policies and waste enormous public funds as well as corruption but our low population has saved us such that kuala lumpur may not be so much more developed than manila or bangkok but at least there are less slums and poor people in it as well as around the country something which plagues thailand and especially the philippines large poor populations also lead to other social problems such as high crime rates sexual abuse broken up families due to the need to migrate overseas to earn a higher wage in lowly jobs etc below are some links to these issues in the context of the

usa a special issue post 有名的美国台裔 有名のアメリカ台湾系 08apr09 i did a previous post on famous taiwanese people in asia and around the world well this post is prompted by jason wu who jason who he s the new up and coming fashion designer to look out for in the years to come and so i ve decided to just update my previous list of famous taiwanese people worldwide made up mainly of taiwanese americans the following is the original list plus additions in politics john chiang he s currently california s state controller don t ask me what that means i m not american so i wouldn t know but its some senior position in the californian governmental administration and he s a likely contender for the 2010 california governor position elisabeth chao from wikipedia elaine lan chao born march 26 1953 served as the 24th united states secretary of labor in the cabinet of president george w bush from 2001 to 2009 she was the first chinese american and the first asian american woman to be appointed to a president s cabinet in american history 2 chao was the only cabinet member to serve under george w bush for his entire administration 3 the eldest of six daughters chao was born in taipei taiwan to james s c chao 趙錫成 zhào xīchéng a shanghainese entrepreneur and ruth mu lan chu 朱木蘭 zhū mùlán a historian her parents had fled to taiwan from mainland china after the chinese communists took over as a result of the chinese civil war in 1949 at the age of eight elaine chao and her family emigrated to the united states where her father had already settled a few years earlier in the arts ang lee obviously an important person the director of crouching tiger hidden dragon brokeback mountain and the first director of asian origin to receive an oscar best director as well as two time venice top prize winner he was born and raised in taiwan and has always been adamant in representing his films as taiwan films thus crouching tiger won the best foreign language film category at the oscars representing taiwan and not china as many mistakenly believe ang lee also insisted that his latest film lust caution be labeled as representing taiwan when organisers prob out of political reasons labeled it as a china film before lucy liu who would have thought that the most successful asian american actress in hollywood lucy liu was born to taiwanese and not chinese immigrant parents well here s her intro at wikipedia she was born and raised with her brother alex liu in jackson heights queens new york by taiwanese immigrant parents 1 liu has said that she grew up in a diverse neighborhood 1 her family spoke mandarin at home and she did not learn english until she was five years old 2 3 her father was a civil engineer and her mother a biochemist in taiwan but they sacrificed those careers to come to the united states way to go lucy coco lee once again the only asian american singer to have ever graced the oscars award coco lee when she sang the title theme for crouching tiger hidden dragon is also from taiwan iris chang the famous author of the rape of nanking the forgotten holocaust of ww2 is also born to taiwanese parents not mainland chinese parents without her book the nanking massacre would well still be destined to obscurity now and the the sundance award winning docu nanking by aol vice pre ted would never have been made as that docu was made in memory of iris chang in business jerry yang one of two co founders of yahoo yes an asian actually founded the world famous yahoo search engine is an immigrant from taiwan in the sciences sam ting winner of the 1976 nobel prize for physics he immigrated as a child to america from taiwan dr david ho 1996 s time magazine man of the year he also immigrated as a child from taiwan to america and of course in the fashion world jason wu now why s he suddenly so famous well its because he was the designer that mrs obama chose to wear at the presidential inauguration ball in january 2009 out of the array of choices that she had she still regularly wears his designs and creations and has become his regular fan and client catapulting him to stardom at the young age of just 26 i m proud of him not only being taiwanese american but actually having parents whom still reside in taiwan they just sent him to school in the states and him having being born and raised and educated in taipei taiwan during his childhood years meaning that his connections to taiwan are still very strong with his parents and relatives always living there even now and having spent at least his childhood years in taiwan oh and of course he s gay and running a successful design business at such a tender age so kudos to jason he s done us proud both taiwanese living in taiwan and those whom have immigrated or currently live abroad like me filed under taiwan naruwan formosa 台湾篇 台湾 uncategorized 2 comments rwanda remembers the 15th anniversary of the rwandan massacre 06apr09 today marks the 15 anniversary of the rwandan massacre which started on 6th april 1994 lasting for 100 days whereby 800 000 tutsi and moderate hutu people were massacred by hutus in rwanda the hutus are the majority in rwanda and sought to eliminate the tutsi minority through ethnic cleansing i personally was horrified when i learnt about this massacre in 2004 on the 10th anniversary to me it was like the nanking massacre or holocaust and i cried as usual when i watched the movie oscar nominated movie hotel rwanda which showed the massacre based on the true story of a moderate hutu whom used his connections and status as the manager of a foreign owned hotel to ultimately save over 1000 tutsi and moderate hutus whom sought refuge at the hotel i was so angry when i found out that the world did nothing and allowed the massacre to continue fiddling out and the un even cut back its peacekeeping force in rwanda as the massacre worsened furthermore extra troops were brought in overnight to shuttle the western expats and diplomats stuck in rwanda whilst leaving behind the rwandans truly horrifying and racists and i thought the world said never again after the holocaust happened obviously the world only cared if it were a white race which appeared to be killed and not africans watching hotel rwanda also showed me how similar massacres are everywhere with mass killings on the streets and women being raped or taken back to barracks to be kept as sex slaves reminded me of the rape of nanking eery the rwandan massacre would rate as one of the worst massacres in modern 20th century history in my opinion considering the brutal method of ethnic cleansing used machetes hacking people to pieces mass rapes incidence and the speed in which people were killed 800 000 in merely 100 days so let s take a moment to reflect and mourn for the rwandans killed on this 15th anniversary of the massacre and think what more can be done in the darfur crisis and congo crisis happening right now hotel rwanda http

シドニーゲイとレスビアンマルヂグラー 08mar09 the mardi gras on sat night was fantastic it was very busy and packed with people as expected apparently more than 300 000 attended with over 135 floats and paraders it was
