Papers cover politics, the roles of the military and religion, the Philippine press, economics, the persistence of high rates of poverty, the phenomenon of Filipinos working overseas and the importance of their remittances, development in the Philippines, the Islamic separatist movements in Mindanao, and the long running Maoist insurgency mainly located in Luzon.
