Jose Ceralde 21 Aug 2007 Eduardo Pontaoe, Thanks for clarification. I am aware of the UN resolutions on the territories and evolvement of the commonwealths. I was not sure how they get to the Games because I thought they have to be a country to compete. You and…
Jess Delfin 21 Aug 2007 More on Jazy Garcia: The fact that Jazy Garcia and others are proud of his participation (racing) in the Olympics twice is understandable. BUT, he called attention to himself when he CLAIMED to have RACED against the cycling greats like Armstrong, Ulrich, etc…
No to hollow claims
Edwin 21 Aug 2007 Isidro Ramos, I’m o.k. with the IRS. I’ve been married to my Dagupan sweetheart for 42 years and (surprise!) I’ve always been completely faithful all that time. I don’t have any hidden skeletons in my closet. There are no nefarious reasons for me not…

Eduardo Pontaoe 20 Aug 2007 Ms. Ric, you’re entitled to your opinion. But first, allow me to let everybody know that Guam (Chamorro: Guahan) is not a country. It is officially the Territory of Guam, an island in the Marianas, an organized unincorporated territory of the US of…
A clarification on Jazy
