Fred,
... I'm sure
you and
I BOTH know that the Philippines' media is, for the most part,
controlled by the
Aquino/Cojuangco clans ... who have their
"fingers on the pulse" as to what
IS - and what
ISN'T - reported in the press and on television.
Moreover, it is
my understanding that -
unlike the Davao City Mayor - Aquino's lackey, Roxas has been going around
distributing sackfuls of
rice (paid for from government funds) in a
politically~motivated bid to garner support in the areas in which he chooses to campaign ... instead of dishing it out to where it is
most needed. Hence the Kidapawan
farmers' rally.
