Regarding Ambeth R. Ocampo's 'Traces of Philippine history in SFO' (Looking Back, 3/22/23), the city of Los Angeles is not named in honor of the guardian angels or the Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles. Rather it was named after the Mother Church of the Franciscan family, Santa Maria de los Angeles (Santa Maria degli Angeli) in Assisi, where the movement was born and where St. Francis of Assisi died in 1226. It is a much-loved church that wherever Franciscans go and have the opportunity to build churches, one of them would surely be given that name.

MOSCOW/KYIV — Muscovites on Saturday expressed unease or dismissed as political theater a standoff pitting the Kremlin against Wagner mercenaries who had vowed to descend on the capital in a 'march of justice' denouncing the conduct of the war in Ukraine. Ukrainians, on the other hand, were clearly satisfied, sometimes gleeful, at the prospect of a split in Russian ranks 16 months after the Kremlin's troops invaded their country. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, an ally of President Vladimir Putin, had declared that a 'counter-terrorism regime' was in force, before the leader of the Wagner private militia announced that his fighters would turn back to avoid bloodshed.

MANILA, Philippines — The Senate should look into possible solutions that would bring an end to the longstanding power crisis in Occidental Mindoro, said Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian. Gatchalian filed on Tuesday Senate Resolution No 576, which calls upon the appropriate committee to conduct a probe that would yield 'short, medium and long-term solutions' for the energy problem that had been plaguing the province for years. 'Despite all the announced efforts of various government agencies, the power crisis in Occidental Mindoro has been ongoing for years with no end in sight,' Gatchalian lamented in his resolution.
