Phillippines & the public relations industry
The US DoD hired a PR firm many months back. I guess image really is everything.
PHILIPPINES HIRES WEBER SHANDWICK
http://www.odwyerpr.com/0502ws_philippines.htm
"The Philippines Dept. of National Defense is relying on Weber
Shandwick to keep in touch with the Pentagon, White House, Congress
and various federal agencies under a two-year contract worth
$20,000 a month," reports PR trade publication O'Dwyer's. "The
Philippines has the second biggest deployment of U.S. forces--after
Afghanistan--in President Bush's 'war on terror.' The Washington
Post reported on April 30 that the 1,000 American troops have
fallen behind in their plan to conduct joint exercises with
Philippine soldiers to fight Abu Sayyaf rebels who want to
establish a Muslim state in the southern part of the country."

CONGRESS TOLD $595 MILLION NEEDED FOR PROPAGANDA
http://www.odwyerpr.com/0501beers.htm
U.S. Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs chief Charlotte Beers told
a House subcommittee she needs $595 million to "improve and magnify
the ways in which we are addressing people of the world--not
necessarily other world governments--but people," O'Dwyer's PR
Daily reports. Her request represents a five percent increase for
the public diplomacy budget. "That outreach is especially targeted
at 'disaffected populations' in the Middle East and South Asia,
where a poor perception of the U.S. 'leads to unrest, an unrest
that has proven to be a threat to our national and international
security,' she said during her April 24 testimony," O'Dwyer's
writes. Beers is proposing increased polling, opinion research, and
focus groups on various topics from democracy to the economy to
anti-American sentiment not only in Muslim and Arab countries, but
in sub-Sahara Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Mexico,
Brazil, Venezuela, the Caribbean, Russia, the former Soviet states
and Europe. Beers also says her office will work with foreign
broadcasters to produce and distribute "documentaries that
highlight positive aspects of American life, culture or community."
