Sunstar GenSan writes an update of the Dolefil labor crisis. I am happy to note that they have now included a much clearer picture (more accurate) of DPI's finances, to wit: Based on a report issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004, Dole Philippines ranked 52nd among the top corporations in the country. Its gross revenue was P12.9 billion and a net income of P98 million.
No update from Mindanews. But searching through the past issues of Mindanews, I saw a story dated September 23, 2006 with the title Dole workers reject mgt's new offer; strke to begin anytime . What is weird is that on September 25, Mindanews published another one with the title Strike looms at Dole Phils.; dispute now in the hands of labor secretary of which I wrote about and sent them an email, etc. If they had it right on the 23rd, why repeat the error on the 25th? Sleuthing some more, the September 23 report was filed by Allen V. Estabillo. Allen also writes for Sunstar GenSan or at least his name appears in the byline together with Edwin Espejo in this story.

Sus! This gets complicated. But I am happy Sunstar made some clarifications and Mindanews might have actually rectified (but repeated the mistake in a later story, whew! Sayang!).
