![]() GENEVA: One billion people in 43 countries are at risk of cholera - a “pandemic killing the poor” - despite prevention and treatment being relatively straightforward, the United Nations warned on Friday. Marcelino Libanan, minority leader at the Philippine House of Representatives, said: “We are all counting on the president’s trip to pave the way for additional American direct investment inflows that we need to support our economic recovery and generate new employment.” Job creation, according to national surveys, is among the top concerns among Filipinos. “One of the things that the president’s visit will allow him to do is to establish some really good, I hope, relationships with the US businesses that have the ability to add jobs in that field here in the Philippines,” he added. “The relationship with the United States and the issues that the Philippines faces go far beyond only or mere military security. Marcos’ trip also gives room to discuss other issues in Philippine-US relations besides their defense ties, Cutler said. “He’s taking time out and I think … the optics of that are just massive, especially considering the last administration,” Stephen Cutler, former FBI legal attache to Manila, told Arab News. The Philippines would reaffirm its “commitment to fostering our long-standing alliances as an instrument of peace and as a catalyst of development in the Asia Pacific region,” Marcos added, while also pushing “for greater economic engagement” with the US.Īlthough the Filipino leader has been seeking good relations with both China and the US, the Philippines’ ties with the latter are only returning after years under former President Rodrigo Duterte, who distanced Manila from Washington in favor of Beijing. Marcos highlighted his determination to strengthen Philippine-US ties “in a wide range of areas that not only address concerns of our times, but also those that are critical to advancing our core interests,” citing areas such as food security, climate change, cybersecurity, and economic resilience. It also takes place amid stronger Philippine-US defense ties marked by their largest-ever joint military drills in April and a recent expansion of US access to Philippine bases. His trip comes at a time of growing geopolitical tension over self-ruled Taiwan and concerns over China’s conduct in the disputed South China Sea. Marcos said: “My visit to the United States and more especially my meeting with President Joe Biden is essential to advancing our national interests and strengthening that very important alliance.” Marcos departed Manila on Sunday for the first state visit of a Philippine leader to Washington in almost a decade, following a series of high-level engagements in the past year, including his meeting with Biden on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York in September and the visit of US Vice President Kamala Harris to the Philippines in November. ![]() said on Sunday that his upcoming meeting with US President Joe Biden was essential to advance his country’s national interest and strengthen the “very important alliance” between Manila and Washington. Anyway, I got there eventually and hope this helps overcome any confusion for non-nerds, like me.MANILA: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Follow the instructions and it gets the job done but be aware that the epub book shows up as a file in your downloads and needs to be dragged from there to the Epubor screen. For 2023 Kindle books, I downloaded latest Kindle for PC version 5. ![]() From there copy the epub books to the Kobo reader drive, also appearing in your File Explorer window. You need to click on the folder icon at bottom right of Epubor screen (this is critical) and the new epub files will appear in a window showing in your File Explorer. However the final instructions "just connect your Kobo to your computer with USB, copy the newly converted DRM free epub books to it." Yikes, confusion time. For pre 2023 books, when you have deregistered Kindle (as per instructions) I downloaded Kindle for PC version 0. Firstly, get the full version, well worth it. So, 5 stars for the success in transferring from Kindle to Kobo and four stars for the assumptions and frustrations. I nearly gave up after a couple of failures with Kindle for PC version just not working despite the link given by Epubor. It worked, eventually, but let down by the concise instructions coming to a halt and assumptions kicking in. ![]()
