This was the stand taken by Alyansa ng Pag-Asa standard-bearer Raul Roco on the ticklish issue of whether to legalize the numbers game jueteng and other illicit forms of gambling.


In a recent campaign sortie, Roco said jueteng could be bad or good, depending on how one sees it, since "gambling under ethics is not per se wrong, not per se bad."

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it," said Roco, who at the same time likened his elusive rival to a "turtle that keeps its head in its shell" for refusing to engage other candidates in a televised debate.

For the first time since it was staged nine years ago, yesterday’s grand parade of the tourist-drawer Panagbenga (Flower) Festival was rained out, drenching street dancers, most of them schoolchildren in colorful flower garb, and leaving city trekkers in disgust.


Nobody expected the weather anomaly since the sun shone brightly as the crowd gathered as early as 10 a.m. along Session Road for a good view of the parade.

This was the stand taken by Alyansa ng Pag-Asa standard-bearer Raul Roco on the ticklish issue of whether to legalize the numbers game jueteng and other illicit forms of gambling.


In a recent campaign sortie, Roco said jueteng could be bad or good, depending on how one sees it, since "gambling under ethics is not per se wrong, not per se bad."

                    [Summary] => SAN FERNANDO, La Union - Presidential contender Raul Roco warned voters yesterday that voting for actor Fernando Poe Jr. will doom the country into another crisis similar to what his bosom buddy, fallen leader Joseph Estrada, brought to the nation.


"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it," said Roco, who at the same time likened his elusive rival to a "turtle that keeps its head in its shell" for refusing to engage other candidates in a televised debate.

                    [Summary] => BAGUIO CITY — It started with a drizzle, then heavy rain.


For the first time since it was staged nine years ago, yesterday’s grand parade of the tourist-drawer Panagbenga (Flower) Festival was rained out, drenching street dancers, most of them schoolchildren in colorful flower garb, and leaving city trekkers in disgust.


Nobody expected the weather anomaly since the sun shone brightly as the crowd gathered as early as 10 a.m. along Session Road for a good view of the parade.
