Filipinos on Saturday burned one hundred US flags in protest as Air Force One unloaded the worlds No. 1 terrorist leader, George W. Bush, in Manila for an eight-hour visit to the Philippines, infamously known as an American neocolony. ...10,000 Filipinos have jammed the main thoroughfare leading to the House of Representatives, where Bush addressed a joint session of Congress. ...More

This follows Urban Poor Anti-Bush actions in Manila leading up to Bush's arrival. The Bush State visit was slammed by protest in Manila and across the Philippines.

After the Phippines, George W Bush is attending the APEC summit in Bangkok, Thailand. Thai authorities have repeated the draconian measures that governments commonly employ when the rulers of the world are coming to town: deportation of undesirables, suppression of democracy, and spend lots of money to impress. On Sunday in Bangkok, one thousand people turned out to protest Bush and the crackdown on dissent during Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. Protests are also planned during his visit to Bali. In Australia preparations are hotting up to protest the Bush sleepover and address to parliament in Australia on October 22-23. Chinese President Hu Jintao will also be in Canberra and will address parliament on Friday. Perhaps the purpose of the Bush visit is an off the record meeting between Bush and Hu Jintao to discuss North Korea and other sensitive issues.
