INQUIRER: The recently concluded Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Travel Mart held at the SMX convention center in Manila was reportedly snubbed by Chinese Travel Agents. The TTG travel paper reported that the China National Tourism Administration and Macau Government Tourist Office withdrew their participation. As if on cue, many Chinese sellers equally withdrew. TTG reported that only two sellers from China and four from Macau participated, down from 60 China and 25 Macau sellers in the previous Mart.

INQUIRER EDITORIAL: After all the brave talk about pursuing the agenda of reform or offering a genuine alternative, both parties are presenting lineups forged in the basest smithy of them all: political convenience. Perhaps the inclusion of former senator Jamby Madrigal in the LP slate and that of President Aquino's aunt, Margarita "Tingting" Conjangco, in the UNA lineup are generating the most outcry, but with a few exceptions, both sets of candidates are cast from the same old mold used in all previous nationwide elections. The diligent Filipino voter may well ask: Is there no one else?

PHILSTAR: GMA, sons, 2 allies still 'pork-less' this year - Former Pres and now Pamp. Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, her two lawmaker sons, and two allies are still without pork barrel fund releases for this year.

TRIBUNE: JING PARAS
That's the way the daang matuwid of BS Aquino goes. He doesn't care if a certain sector of the country suffers for lack of services, poverty alleviation and infrastructure that should have been funded by the PDAF of any congressman so long as BS is able to avenge any unpleasant statement made by his critics. He does not mind being called a bully and a dictator but what is important is vengeance. And this is what he calls political reality as told by the DBM secretary.
