VENDORS arrange bananas in a makeshift stall on Road 10 in Tondo, Manila, as they sell ‘lakatan’ at P30 per kilo yesterday morning. The Philippines’ fruit exports to China, particularly bananas, seem to have trouble getting cleared by Chinese Customs amid a tense standoff between the two countries over the disputed islands on the West Philippine Sea. Fruit shipments, especially bananas, were rotting in Chinese ports because pests were allegedly discovered in some produce, prompting stricter quarantine inspections. (Photo by Linus Escandor II)
