Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines at 94,630 square kilometers. The island is mountainous, and is home to Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the country. Mindanao is surrounded by seas: the Sulu Sea to the west, the Philippine Sea to the east, and the Celebes Sea to the south. Of all the islands of the Philippines, Mindanao shows the greatest variety of physiographic development. High, rugged, faulted mountains; almost isolated volcanic peaks; high rolling plateaus; and broad, level, swampy plains are found there. The island group of Mindanao encompasses Mindanao island itself and the Sulu Archipelago to the southwest. The island group is divided into six regions, which are further subdivided into 25 provinces that includes the province of Lanao Del Norte.

According to my Dad, whom explains it to me the main reason why MILF is now attacking is because Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz, Mayor of Iligan City did not sign the agreement between the government and them which was about the 8 barangays of Iligan City that they wanted to have under their regime. The only reason I know why did Mayor Cruz did not sign the agreement is because if he will sign it the barangays of Iligan will be too small already. And that is were the battle begins. Its been almost a week now that they are continually attacking those innocent civilians. In fact, there are several innocent civilians already have lost their lives and several Armed Forces of the Philippines(ARMY) has also give their life.

Personally, I don’t know as to where this battle will end. And if there’s still peace will air in the middle of the battle. All I pray for this happenings is the safeness of my family who are now in Iligan, safeness of those young innocent children, and eventually save the lives of many and of those people who are in the battle now to defeat the MILF. To my fellow Filipinos and to those people who are concern, let us all pray for PEACE and ORDER in Mindanao.

Eventually, since I’m talking about political issues let me tackle the upcoming election for Congress in United States this year. One of the candidate for Congress is Dr John Fleming. He is a man of conviction, drive and the desire to uphold America’s constitution in marching to Washington with a single purpose: to represent the people as a servant leader. John Fleming is just one of the those ordinary people who tend to govern and uphold the values for his fellow people. So, to those Americans who wish for good and luck for their country better have a chance now to elect John Fleming for congress. With him success is just a one step apart.

“ERIE, Pa. - Mike Batchelor invited the heads of 46 charities into his downtown office for one-on-one meetings to personally deliver the news. Nearby, on a small table, sat a box of tissues.

And then he proceeded: A donor had given a staggering $100 million to the Erie Community Foundation, and all of the charities would receive a share.

That was when the tears began to flow — and the mystery began — in this struggling old industrial city of 102,000 on Lake Erie, where the donor is known only as “Anonymous Friend.”

Bachelor, president of the Erie Community Foundation, has been sworn to secrecy and will allow only that the donor worked with the organization for years to identify deserving recipients before the announcement over the summer.

Is the donor dead or alive? No comment, Batchelor says. What is the donor’s connection to Erie? No comment.

The talk about the gift has taken an interesting turn in recent weeks: As much as everyone here would like to know their benefactor’s identity, many are also reluctant to pry.

“My feeling is that we’re not honoring the donor if we spend time speculating about it,” says Rebecca Brumagin, executive director at the Achievement Center, which provides physical therapy and other services to children. The center, which serves 3,200 children a year, will get $2 million.

“The needs are really great. So we will be able to help more children because of this,” Brumagin says.

Kitty Cancilla cried when she learned the homeless shelter where she is executive director will get $2 million. Its previous largest donation was $25,000. Even now, Cancilla clutches a balled-up tissue and fights back tears as she talks about the gift.

Cancilla says she is unable even to speculate who the donor could be.

“We don’t really travel in a community that knows the wealth of people,” she says. And she prefers not to even try: “It’s disrespectful to the friend. To me, that’s a spiritual thing.”

Each of the charities will get about $1 million to $2 million. The recipients include a food bank, a women’s center, a group for the blind and three universities.

The city — and the entire county of 280,000 — could clearly use the money.

Erie was once a bustling iron and steel town, and later also made machinery, plastics, paper and furniture. But many factories eventually closed or moved overseas. The paper mill, which employed more than 2,000 people in the 1950s, shut down in 2002 after more than 100 years in business.

The city has a growing service industry and has tried to remake itself as a tourist destination with a new slots casino. But its poverty rate is about 19 percent, or twice the national average, median household income is $31,196, versus $48,451 nationally, and as of 2006, it had an estimated 400 homeless people.

“What a godsend for some of these agencies, because I know a lot of them struggle,” says Pam VanHorn, as her 5-year-old autistic daughter, Abigail, rides a scooter-like contraption at a playroom at the Achievement Center.

Some charity officials fear that other people will see the large donation and decide their small contributions aren’t needed. But Batchelor says that’s not what Anonymous Friend intended at all: “I know that the donor hopes this will inspire others to give within their means.”

In line with that, we cannot deny the very fact that there are lots of great schools here and abroad today that exist just to provide those young innocent children with the highly equipped Education. In fact, I came to know that one of the most technologically integrated online university in the world is the capella university. They are the known school on their field of practice since, there iGuide system, has replaced the online chat rooms and perennially malfunctioning webcams of its competitors with a fully integrated system. Isn’t that great to know that are still school nowadays who been imparting a reliable knowledge for everyone? I guess, theres nothing more to ask for with regards to a quality Education.
