Overview	<p>The tropical island of Guam, a US territory in the western Pacific, is a keystone of American military strategy in the region.</p> <p>Tourism and the growing military presence on the island are the bedrock of its economy. </p> <p>Guam is an important staging post, allowing rapid access to potential flashpoints in the Koreas and in the Taiwan Strait.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16517384">Full Article</a>	<p>More than 7,000 islands make up the Philippines, but the bulk of its fast-growing population lives on just 11 of them. </p> <p>Although endowed with many fine beaches and a growing tourism industry, much of the country is mountainous and prone to earthquakes and eruptions from around 20 active volcanoes. It is often buffeted by typhoons and other storms. </p> <p>The Philippines - a Spanish colony for more than three centuries and named after a 16th century Spanish king - was taken over by the US in the early 20th century after a protracted rebellion against rule from Madrid. Spanish and US influences remain strong, especially in terms of language, religion and government.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15521300">Full Article</a>
