Our Country Is Important - Check the World's Most Important Newspapers!

I first noticed this during my days of world traveling. The Philippines would always be in the news section of any newspaper - the Guardian, the International Herald Tribune, the South China Morning Post, Le Monde - we would always be there! Now tell me of a country of our stature who would always be present in any newspaper in the world?  Do you have news from Sri Lanka, or maybe Ecuador, or even New Zealand?  No, not really.  But the Philippines would always be present - whether it's our lousy army, or a huge typhoon, or some worker getting raped - trust me - the editors of the world, will find a section for us.  See, our country is important to this world!
