News Updates

JANUARY 2008 -- PART 1 | PART 2

The following articles are linked to Pacific Magazine (PM), Pacific Islands Report (PIR), Marianas Variety (MV), Palau Horizon, Hardcopy (PH), Saipan Tribune (ST), Radio Australia Pacific Beat (RAPB), and Pacific Daily News (PDN) which I have found to contain the most up-to-date and accurate news as it relates to Belau and other parts of Micronesia.  A full listing of their articles can be found at their websites.  Olekoi Palau will post new items as time permits.  If there is one page on this website you should visit regularly, it's this one.  Know what's going on at home so we, the overseas community, can be better informed.
