Para Kang Nakapunta sa Amerika

The photo caption from the Page's Pampanga and Clark Historical Image and Event says:

"Who misses this old look of Visiting Control Center circa 1980s at Clark Air Base? I'm sure lots of Angeleños did pass here once or twice in that era. I still remember that every year during the Filipino-American Friendship Day, everyone can pass here without getting your I.D".

The caption or the poser did make a spur of the moment for this

Pathetic Seeing Ph Light Fighters Join U.S Superiority Jets

By Mortz C. Ortigoza, MPA

Because a significant part of the government funds -- ₱700 billion annually or equivalent to roughly 20% of the national budget --  goes to the pockets of plundering Philippines officials, I pity seeing our airforce joining the yearly Cope Thunder being held at either Clark or Basa Air Base with our lightfigher cum trainer FA-50s operates with either the American F-16 multiple role figher (in years 2024 and 2025) and the superiority fighter’s F-22 Raptor for this year’s exercise.

Exercise Cope Thunder 26-1 started in April 6 and concluded on April 17, 2026 at Clark by bringing together the Philippine Air Force (PAF) and U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) for intensive two-week joint air combat training. The exercise featured PAF FA-50s and U.S. F-22 Raptors, focusing on interoperability, defensive counter-air operations, and combat readiness in Northern Luzon.

 LINGAYEN, Pangasinan - Magpapagaan ng mga gastusin ng mga taga Pangasinan pag naipatupad na ang programa ni Governor Ramon V. Guico III na magkakaroon ng electric buses at Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) na babaybay sa mga daang-bayan ng higanteng lalawigan.

Kinumpirma ng Foreign Minister ng Iran na papayagan na nila ang pagdaan sa Strait of Hormuz ng mga barko ng mga ibat’t ibang bansa sa susunod na dalawang linggo sa ilalim ng pamamahala ng militar ng Iran, kasunod sa pagtanggap ni U.S President Donald Trump sa isang pansamantalang tigil-putukan (ceasefire), ayon sa newsreport ng Associated Press.

Matandaang nagbanta si Trump na dudurugin niya sa pagbomba ng mga hukbo niya ang mga imprastraktura ng Iran kaninang alas otso ng umaga sa Pilipinas pag hindi tinanggap ng Tehran ang kanyang 15-Point Ceasefire Agreement. Nagmatigas ang Iran at sila ay nagtagumpay na tanggapin ni Trump – na patiwarik na ang kanyang popularidad sa Estados Unidos at pwede pang ma-impeach -- ang 10-Point Ceasefire Agenda nila. Tatlo dito ay: 1. A permanent end to the war in Iran, Lebanon and Gaza with written guarantees from America; 2. The lifting of all economic sanctions; 3. Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz and the imposition of tolls for ships passing through.
