malaria in palawan

Torn and frayed in Manila: an expat living in the Philippines, points out government economy with the truth in reporting cases of Malaria in Palawan province:

The implication is that visitors should not expect to be able to take just the “nice” aspects of Palawan’s wilderness without the downside, and I agree with him there.  You want nature lite, watch Discovery Channel.  Still, if Reyes, Mitra and the Palawan tourist industry are so keen on taking the tourist dollar, they have a responsibility at least to provide accurate information on the risks tourists face and at the moment they do not.
