Are foreigners who join rallies abusing Filipino hospitality?
A quote from an article in today's Philippine Daily Inquirer about the security preparations for the October 18 visit of Bush:
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Hermogenes Ebdane said (...) foreign activists would be arrested and placed in the custody of the Bureau of Immigration if they joined illegal rallies. "We don't want foreigners to join demonstrations because that would be an abuse of (our) hospitality," he told reporters.
Some of my friends however assured me that Ebdane's concept of Filipino hospitality is seriously distorted :-).
