A Dutch activist blamed for making a Philippine policeman cry was deported and permanently banned from the country, the immigration bureau said on Aug. 8.
The bureau said Thomas van Beersum was deported on Aug. 7 after the authorities had picked him out from a photograph that went viral showing him allegedly haranguing a uniformed police officer at an anti-government protest in Manila last month.
Van Beersum is an “undesirable alien” who violated the terms of his tourist visa by joining a protest, immigration bureau spokeswoman Antonette Mangrobang told AFP.

The activist was photographed yelling at a weeping Filipino riot policeman at an anti-government protest during President Benigno Aquino’s annual policy address to parliament on July 22.
Photographs of the incident, showing policeman Joselito Sevilla crying as he held back van Beersum and other activists, spread around the world on the Internet, and provoked heated debates on social media sites.
The policeman later said he was crying from exhaustion and hunger after a long stint securing the area for Aquino’s speech.

移民局八月八日表示,一名弄哭菲律賓警察的荷蘭社運人士遭遞解出境,且永遠不得入境。
移民局表示,當局透過網路瘋傳的照片找到范比爾桑,照片中的他據稱在馬尼拉上月一場反政府示威活動中大聲斥責穿著制服的警察,移民局於是在八月七日將他遞解出境。
移民局發言人蒙果邦告訴法新社,范比爾桑違反觀光簽證規定加入抗議,是「不受歡迎的外國人」。
菲律賓總統艾奎諾三世七月二十二日對國會發表年度政策演說時,范比爾桑被拍到參加反政府遊行,對著哭泣的鎮暴警察大吼。
員警塞維亞邊哭邊阻擋范比爾桑與其他示威者的照片透過網路傳遍世界,引發社群媒體網站熱烈討論。
塞維亞後來表示,他是因為艾奎諾三世演說維安時間太長,精疲力竭又飢腸轆轆才哭。

It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl.

On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
