I would venture a guess that 95% of the American general public does not have a clue about the stituation in the PI. The mainstream media doesn't care about covering it. They were fighting in the 60s when I was there a couple of times and still are. Your pictures of American Service personnel puts a face to the situation and the fact the united States is STILL in the PI. Keep up the great reporting. - Mike Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:01:07 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19430 Good job Michael. I hope you visit again Philippines in the near future and hopefully there is no more fighting at that time. More power. - Kenneth Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:31:32 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19371 I too say, Michael ... Great photo journalism! I used one of your photos and info of it in a short post to lead people to this Post of yours. (Credit in your name of course.) Thanks for what you do and keep up the great reporting...

You keep our whole family praying for the troops and World Peace. Much love - Jeanie Boddy Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:16:15 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19353 Good stuff. I wish more people in this country could see your reports. I was in Manila half a century ago when the Huks were runing loose. Certainly better now but hard to put an end to it, as you point out, when every insult, real or imagined, must be avenged. Keep your chin strap buckled. - Jim Owens Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:13:59 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19352 Great job on closing this out Michael. If you get back there again, I have a few contacts you could meet on some of the other islands. Press on! - Paul Bradley Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:17:59 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19351 Michael, as always, many thanks for what you do and you have an open invitation to appear on my show any time. We here at home with loved ones in Helmand are desperate for news and have to seek foreign reports for anything of substance but even most of those are rather generic so your dispatches are eagerly awaited. Be well and stay safe-- Best, The Dame - thedametruth Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:11:03 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19350 Good job, Michael! - myna Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:06:25 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19349 Michael; I was married n Iligan some 16 tears ago. Have family there and in Cagayan de Oro. Damn fine people in that area. Met many Muslims through my father in law. One evening in a bull session in the Sala (to which I was graciously invited) one of the Muslim guests said something that I will never forget. It went something like this; "We must forget how different we are and concentrate on how much alike we are. We (meaning both Christians and Muslims) want the same basic things; food, shelter, clothing and a better future for our children. All the rest doesn't count." I have never heard wiser words.

My wife is dying of cancer, and so I have been a little busy. keep up the courage, and the fight. I guess it is true, the pen is mightier than the sword! YOurs, peter in MN - peter Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:27:51 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19347 Michael ... Great photo journalism ... once again you're sending us the ground level stories that really provide the knowledge that Americans should have. Keep spreading the goodwill ... Helping the troops ... You are one of a kind. - Robert Rankin Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:26:56 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-village.htm#comment-19345 Thanks for the fresh insights, especially coming from a first-time visitor. If you had driven about a 100 kms. going southeast you would have been transported to a quite different enviornment where armed conflict whether brought on by religion or politics would be quite foreign. Here in Cagayan de Oro things are a lot different. Next time do visit us, say, for R&R. - Amadeo Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:19:33 +0100
