                    [Title] => A world conference on counter-terrorism in Cebu
                    [Summary] => Cebu is in the midst of hectic preparations for the ASEAN Summit in December, where the leaders of ASEAN would be here for their annual meeting. But if the hotels and resorts in Mactan are filled to capacity this weekend, even after a full-packed Lenten Week, it is because of the three-day (April 20-22) world’s First Counter-Terrorism Experts’ Conference (CTEC) which has been going on at Mactan Island’s Shangri-La Resort and Spa since yesterday.

It didn’t matter, naturally, that as many cops were injured as "rioters". The anti-GMA marchers got the TV footage and international publicity they needed to project themselves as "martyrs" in the freedom fight.
