Wimbledon tennis tournament is a big ticket item on the U. K. social calendar, but beyond that it has earned global cachet for offering attendees a quintessentially British experience.

Elections in the Philippines may be a year away, but the politicking has already begun, with one particular family keen to take up as many posts as possible.
