Philippine Airlines (PAL), the country's flag carrier, will temporarily stop servicing several domestic routes following the start of the labor strike yesterday. Contrary to what he did before, President Ramos refused to be drawn into the squabble. "I am not a labor arbiter," he told Palace reporters when asked if he would again mediate in the PAL labor dispute. Earlier, the Alliance of Philippine Airlines, Inc. Labor Unions (APLU) asked President Ramos to intervene with PAL management. But Mr. Ramos tossed the problem to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
