  I was staioned there back in the mid 90’s and would like to see what it looks liek now and also would like to track down an old friend that lived there.

  Thanks for the help!

  Dear the Editor of ROK Drop,

  My name is John Huh, a South Korean citizen, living at Kyoha New Town, Paju City, South Korea.

  This morning (July 16th, 2008) I came across with your wonderful site when I surfed the internet to find out some information on “Tokdo Islet”.

  By reading the contents of your site I am very much astonished and impressed to know that your site carries
  lots of useful and the most updated information regarding the history and culture of South Korea.

  Your site will certainly serve to be the right place to visit for the foreigners who visit and stay in South Korea.

  As one of the citizens of South Korea, I will have to salute you for the amazing jobs you contribute to this site.

  Sincerely,

  John Huh

  Is any one currently stationed at Camp Stanley or lives in Uijongbu that would frequent or have any information on the little ville out side the back gate at Camp Stanley? I lived there from 1995-1997 and would like to try and contact some old friends that I am fairly sure are still there. Thanks!

  Not really sure where, or even if I am allowed to post it, but here is an article of interest concerning Koreans in the Philippines, along with my comments:

  3 Koreans stabbed dead in Olongapo home

  http://services.inquirer.net/print/print.php?article_id=20080727-151019

  Posted date: July 27, 2008

  CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga—(UPDATE) Three members of a Korean family were stabbed and killed by still unidentified men in their house in Olongapo City on Sunday morning, a report reaching this regional police camp said.

  Policemen found the bodies of Seok Heijang, 54; her daughter Suna Yoo, 35; and her granddaughter, Haneul Baek, 9, sprawled in the bedroom of their house at Sitio Kakilingan, Iram resettlement in Barangay (Village) Cabalan.

  Suna Yoo’s son, Sangcheol, 11, reported the killings to the police.

  Investigators said the killers entered the house by removing a piece of plywood that had covered a hole in the wall intended for the room’s air conditioning unit.

  Investigators suspected that the mother and the girl were raped before they were killed. The three victims had stab wounds in their heads.

  An undetermined amount of cash was taken from the grandmother.

  “The incident is believed to have been perpetrated between midnight and 3 a.m. [Sunday] as indicated by the continuous barking of dogs around the neighborhood,” a report from the Olongapo City police said.

  The report said the family slept at around 11:40 p.m. Saturday.

  Suna Yoo’s husband, Baek Jin Suk, was in South Korea when the attack happened.

  Suna Yoo’s father, Henry Choi, is a former contractor at the Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Corp. at the Redondo Peninsula of the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales.

  Choi, according to the police report, has been receiving death threats reportedly following the dismissal of several Filipino workers at Hanjin.

  Police said three armed men went to Choi in June to ask money.

  I have said it before and I will keep saying it…NO ONE is safe, be they Filipino or foreigner, here in this lawless country, filled with criminals and murderers who commit crimes at will, knowing that they are either protected by the same people charged with upholding the law, or safe in the knowledge that even if they are caught, a simple bribe to the City Prosecutor’s office will have them free by Happy hour and false charges will even be brought against their accusers to get back at them and to frighten the public into NOT reporting future crimes.

  Shame on you, Filipinos in government service, for allowing crimes like this to take place number one, and failing to prosecute the guilty in a reasonable amount of time, if at all. You are a disgrace to the Civilized Community of Nations and all freedom loving citizens everywhere.
