MANILA - The U.S. State Department released the final batch of Hillary Clinton's emails late February and it seems that the former secretary of state apparently kept herself updated regarding the Philippines and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. These were made available on February 29, 2016.

WikiLeaks on Wednesday launched a searchable archive for 30,322 emails and email attachments sent to and from Clinton's private email server while she was secretary of state.

A search of the term "Philippines" yield 108 results, among the thousands of emails made unclassified.

In more than one instance, Clinton was updated with Arroyo's then worsening medical condition.

While most emails involved routine updates, a standout among them was when Clinton made phone calls to then Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo, as well as Indonesian and Thai foreign ministers, regarding Aung San Suu Kyi.

In an email from deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin, Clinton was informed that Romulo and the DFA issued a statement condemning the filing of trumped up charges against Suu Kyi, following Clinton's call on May 16, 2009.

PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER

Clinton, secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, has said her email arrangement broke no rules and that she will be vindicated.

Members of the public are still fighting the department in court for access to thousands of public records connected to some of Clinton's closest aides. Last week, a federal judge granted a request by a conservative group suing the State Department under open records laws to seek sworn testimony from department officials and Clinton aides to see if the arrangement was intended to thwart public access to government records.

Clinton's staff has accused the government of overclassifying, and attribute the large number of emails now marked as classified to an "interagency" dispute between the State Department and intelligence agencies.

At most, only a few dozen of the 2,000 classified emails included information from intelligence agencies, according to several people familiar with those agencies' analyses of the emails. The vast majority of the classified information originated with State Department ambassadors and employees, including Clinton herself.

State Department lawyers told a federal judge they still did not know who in the government authorized Clinton's email arrangement or why. Clinton has said the arrangement was for her convenience, but that she now regrets it. - with report from Reuters
