According to KumoNews, when Us Marine Maj. John Orio flew his chopper into the isolated island, he only expected to be giving out goods - not receiving them! Filipino hospitality shines in Maricani as they treated Orio to a fresh coconut and a giant crab. They also had the strongest men help unload the relief goods in an orderly fashion.

Earlier this year I visited a school in turmoil. It began with two students: a sixth-grade girl who I'll call Emily, and her 14-year-old boyfriend, who I'll call Justin. Justin begged Emily to send him some photos. "Nothing raunchy," he said. Their parents would never know, he promised.

Emily did as he asked in the privacy of her bedroom. She pulled down her shirt to reveal the curve of her breast. (Like many other 12-year-old girls nowadays, she could easily pass for 15.)
