¡Que Barberidad!

Amazing. Unbelievable. Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) General Manager Robert Dean S. Barbers is really something else. The Manila Times exposé last March barely made a ripple among the majority, but it ultimately prompted the Department of Tourism to issue a "harsher" TRO. A TRO that Barbers has apparently defied, as one can see from the picture below, which I took after shooting inside and around the Rizal Shrine last Tuesday.


Mind-boggling, isn't it? The admirably indefatigable Ivan Henares had already written about it, as did Baldagyi Hatipoglu in a recent post. I don't know if posting about it here will help, but right now I'm very alarmed by it.
