Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Thank you for posting this, Natabara. Many of us in the US overlooked this with all the excitement we had going on. It's interesting that both countries had changes of government on the same day. Both countries share a birthday, July 4th! The US is commonly seen as 4 July 1776 at various times in Philadelphia. The Philippines was formed on 4 July 1946 at 9:15 am (time zone -8) in Manila. Note that the two inauguration charts for President's Arroyo and Bush are very similar. For Arroyo, that Mars is even more closely opposite the ascending degree. Could both countries be going to war? I think both leaders will have similar terms of office.
