I have heard of Rocky Point so many times from friends and colleagues.  They said it’s really a beautiful place to visit. Well, beautiful is an understatement. It is really very BEAUTIFUL! I’m so happy I went with my family a few weeks ago.

The trip is not too bad. It only took us about 2 ½ hours to get to the border and another hour to get to our destination.  Passing the border going to Mexico is no problem at all. We just slowed and pass through the police and federal patrol, no questions asked. We saw the long line going back to the US from Mexico on the other lane. Boy I said to myself, we will have to wait in a long pile of cars going back to Arizona then. But it wasn’t really my concern at that time. I just wanted to get to Puerto Penasco or Rocky Point as quickly as possible.

CEBU CITY, (PNA) – The Cebu Health and Wellness Council (CHWC) plans to position Cebu Province as a “world-class destination for medical destination for medical and wellness tourism in Asia 2010.”

 Members of CHWC, particularly those offering hospital and dental services, observed a “steady flow” of inquiries and walk-in patients long before they have formally organized themselves as a group. They said various nationalities have made different inquiries about various services, such as executive check-ups, heart surgery, organ transplants and cosmetology.

Just as the U.S. House of Representatives was about to vote on S.1315 -- known as the "Veterans' Benefits Enhancement Act of 2007," introduced by Sen. Daniel Inouye -- a group of Filipino-Americans from San Francisco drove a polarizing wedge that could potentially impede the passage of the bill. Indeed, what was almost a certainty two weeks ago is now in jeopardy.

Sixty-two years after the infamous Rescission Act of 1946 was signed into law denying benefits to more than 200,000 Filipino veterans of World War II, the surviving 18,000 aging veterans came within arm's length to finally getting the recognition and benefits that they deserved. Last April 24, 2008, S.1315 was overwhelmingly passed by the Senate on a 96-1 vote. On May 22, 2008, the House of Representatives was scheduled to vote on the bill. The game plan was to get 290 bipartisan support to ensure passage under "suspension of rules," which means that a "killer" amendment could be stopped from being introduced on the floor; thus, averting any attempt to remove the benefits for Filipino veterans.
