Firm apologizes for high-risk rating<\/p>\n
MANILA (DPA): A United States intelligence service company has
\napologized for a misleading travel risk report it published on
\nthe Philippines, which described the country as a \"high-risk\"
\nplace for visits and business, the presidential spokesman said on
\nMonday.<\/p>\n
Presidential Spokesman Jerry Barican said Pinkerton Global
\nIntelligence Services has sent a letter clarifying that it was
\nthe company's policy to apply a high-risk warning against a
\ncountry even if only certain areas fit the status.<\/p>\n
\"Owing largely to a series of insurgences of domestic
\nCommunist and radical religious groups, we have carried the
\nPhilippines as 'high risk' for 15 years,\" said Frank Johns, a top
\nofficial of the Virginia-based Pinkerton, in the letter.<\/p>\n
\"To those Philippine citizens or government officials who may
\nhave been hurt or angered by the press accounts of our reporting
\n- you have our deepest apologies,\" Johns said.<\/p>",
