Bounded by a common Spanish culture and heritage, it is evident that Filipinos and Hispanics share the same ultimate goal of unifying their communities into one potent force. For the Hispanics, specifically those of Mexican descent, that singular goal seemed to have been achieved.

Por Karina Flores Hurley
Una Hora Diaria Salvará tu Vida
¡Ya llegó el verano! El sol radiante, las reuniones al aire libre, las vacaciones de los niños, los paseos a nuevos lugares… todo esto hace de esta estación del año, una época tan especial. Pero, ¡ah!, para muchos padres de familia, el verano no significa tiempo libre –por el contrario, hay que equilibrar nuestro trabajo con las vacaciones de nuestros hijos. Y es entonces cuando surge la pregunta de rigor: ¿en qué ocuparé el tiempo libre de mis niños este verano?

Terrorist Attack Upon London England Is Warning Signal for all Non-Muslim Nations!
The timing of the Terrorist Attack was cleverly set to coincide with the G8 Summit opening in Gleneagles, Scotland, at which Prime Minister Tony Blair would preside and a day after the English Citizens won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, which had been celebrated in the streets of London. At exactly 8:51 a.m., London time (3:51 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time), terrorist left three bags, filled with explosive materials, on three subway trains, and one, explosive leaden package, on a Double-Decker Bus, filled with early morning rush hour traffic. Police stated at least 40 people were killed and more than 700 were injured!

La Intuición del Presidente Bush
Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D
El reemplazo de Sandra Day O´Connor, magistrado de la Suprema Corte de Justicia, no será una tarea tan difícil para el presidente Bush si, desde un principio, mantiene una línea moderada. Una de las dos siguientes variables es imprescindible para que el proceso de confirmación en el Senado no tenga la molestosa disyuntiva del filibusterismo demócrata: Tiene que ser mujer o tiene que pertenecer a un grupo étnico minoritario, concretamente a raíces hispanas.

No Más Desayunos Con el Sr. Embajador: La Cambiante Política Exterior De Los EU En América Latina
Por Manuel R Villacorta O.
Es indiscutible que los embajadores de Estados Unidos han tenido un protagonismo determinante y en ocasiones extralimitado en América Latina. En momentos de alta tensión, cuando presidentes de la región se han enemistado con los altos representantes de la diplomacia estadounidense, es común que funcionarios públicos (ministros de estado e incluso vicepresidentes) opten por congraciarse con los segundos, porque tarde o temprano la línea de Washington termina imponiéndose. La historia lo confirma, siempre ha sido así.

Condensada la Panorámica Cultural de la Comunidad Regional Tijuanense
Por: Paco Zavala
Nuevamente pese a todos los barruntos de tormenta que se ciernen en las relaciones entre México y EE.UU. el pasado 4 de Julio, “Día de la Independencia de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica”, la ciudad de Tijuana, Playas de Rosarito, Ensenada y toda la franja playera del estado de Baja California, se vio abarrotada de visitantes provenientes del país del norte, a los que muy poco les importan éstas diferencias de opinión de países vecinos.
“Pollitas de Cuenta” Controversial Corrido de Roberto López “El Padrino”
Por: Paco Zavala
La riqueza artística y cultural de la nación mexicana fue, es y será por siempre muy rica en expresiones. Esta riqueza se manifiesta en sus tradiciones, en su orfebrería, en sus ruinas, en sus danzas, en sus etnias, en su música, en su canto y en su poesía por decir de algunas vertientes que la aportan.
