Dear

You should check this out because The Philippine Star's The Freeman and philstar online is up to its old tricks again.
STEALING from bloggers and blatantly plagiarizing their work.

The Freeman, a local newspaper in Cebu owned by Philippine Star has published an article that has been ripped from his blog BYAHILO (http://www.byahilo.com)

His post, which talks about a local cake house in Bacolod city was originally published last October 29, 2006.

The plagiarized version appeared in The Freeman and in philstar
.com last May 16 2009.

the
philstar.com article can be found here

I am so tired of this organization stealing from bloggers.
It's disgusting quite frankly.
