US urged to retain RP on piracy watchlist
MANILA, Philippines -- A trade group in the Philippines said Thursday it has asked the US Trade Representative to retain the country on its piracy watchlist amid rampant violations concerning intellectual property.
The Intellectual Property Coalition, the federation of Philippine trade associations that oversees piracy issues, said violations of intellectual property rights have continued despite government efforts to curb them.

Huh? Piracy sa Pinas? Saan? Kailan? Ito ngang Windows XP SP2 ko binili ko ito mismo kay Bill Gates. Binebentahan pa nga niya ako ng Zune kaso ang mahal, samantalang meron namang orig na Ipod Nanu sa halagang P2,250.00 sa Cubao Farmers Plaza. May libre pang mga orig na mga mp3 songs na hindi nila kinuha sa Limewire. Pati itong mga 21-in-1 ko na mga DVD, orig lahat. Tanong niyo pa kay Edu Manzano. Piracy sa Pilipinas... kalokohan yan.
