Philippines tourist new security measures
Dear friends,
I read on another group that there is an article in today's Philippines Star saying new regulations require photographing and finger printing new arrivals to the Philippines. This will not encougage toursim, not so much because it is an invasion as privacy, but mostly because of the the long time in waiting in the airport after a long trip. I hope this is not true. Living in Cebu, and having been living in Cebu so long, know the tourist who come here reaonably well, almost as well as I did in the small town of Angeles. They will be grumpy or down right upset before they check into their hotels. Upset visitors, needed visitors are not good, especially when the get upset when they arrive. I hope there is not truth to this article.

Philippines tourist new security measures
I went through the archives of both the Philippine Star and the Manila
Bulletin and found nothing to this affect (there was an interesting story about a standoff between gunmen and Philippine troops at the control tower in the International Airport...seems like the Filipino's have been living in "interesting times"...hope it's more quiet when I travel there next year!) Anyway, my wife spoke with a friend on the phone who had recently returned from a trip there and she said they weren't doing these things either when she arrived (which was in October). Let's hope that it is just a rumor. Craig (Don Herrington) wrote in message . com...

Read the article. This may be a discouragement for visiting
the RP, and seems like another stupid American idea on "war" on "terrorism". I'll visit Manila and NAIA this winter and see for myself how much of a nuisance this is, and report back to the European travel media.

I stand corrected (sadly)...donn't know how I missed it. I did
archive searches using "arrivals", "NAIA", etc. and it never came up. Anyway, please let us know how it goes. I'll be traveling there at the end of February...sad to see that they are taking their security lessons from the Bush administration... sigh ... Craig (Petter Eftevik) wrote in message . com...

Stupidity is indeed infectious, even across the Pacific.
I suggest the Yankees build their own terminal, and perform their beloved "w.o.t." games for themselves there :-) :-) Mette Li This may be a discouragement for visiting the RP, and seems like another stupid American idea on "war" on "terrorism".
