If you want to keep up with Filipino current events but don't like looking at news sites (like me), this might be a good start for you.
I think it's a good blog... I just found it recently. I added it to my RSS feed. But yeah, maybe seeing current events in a form of a blog might help :]

Mail For Your Lump Sum Claim!
"Filipino vets may mail lump sum claims"
by Veronica Uy
Filipino World War II veterans in the country entitled to the one-time $9,000 lump-sum benefit from the United States government are no longer required to apply for their claims in person, the US embassy said in a statement Thursday.
In a statement, the US embassy said, claims, together with the required supporting documents, may now be mailed to: US Department of Veterans Affairs, 1131 Roxas Boulevard, 0939, Manila, Philippines.
Claims from spouses, widows and children of Filipino WWII veterans will not be accepted, it said.
In case a veteran dies while the application is being processed, his heirs will get the lump sum payment, said US embassy spokesperson Rebecca Thompson.

A few days ago I was talking to my mom about the money my grandpa's going to finally get. I asked her when the money will come in, but she wasn't sure.
Instead of waiting. Maybe this'll help.
When my grandpa gets his $15,000, he's gonna go home and build a house. :]
Although we don't really talk (language and shyness barrier on both of our parts, nothing personal), I can tell that he's been a bit happier and upbeat. I kinna wish my mom would keep me updated about grandpa's life. ... at least she tells me whenever I ask.
