暑期正值出境游高峰期，迷你倉新蒲崗但當把這場美妙的假期付諸行動還是需要手上的銀子，除了對機票、酒店等硬性消費精打細算外，其實在攜帶貨幣出境的選擇方面也有一些省錢的小竅門。1兌換的次數和幣種要知道對於高性價比出游這件事情，永遠不要怕麻煩，事先做好功課比什麼都重要。很多國家或地區都會接受一些非流通性貨幣，或者能夠直接使用流通貨幣消費，這種特徵在旅遊業比較發達的地方尤為明顯。比如在新西蘭的某些商場可以接受澳元支付。但在直接使用流通性貨幣如美元或歐元消費時，則需要計算下匯率，因為很多時候這樣方便的消費方式是以你接受一個相對高昂的匯率為前提的。對中國遊客而言，有時可以直接使用人民幣，這樣就為你省去了兌換的麻煩及匯率的損失。譬如越南，在河內等大城市可用人民幣或美元直接購物，也可用人民幣換越盾，匯率比美元劃算，而在胡志明市比較通行的貨幣則是美元。而在泰國曼穀，可以用人民幣兌換泰銖，但在清邁，用美元兌換泰銖還是主流。而且，用人民幣兌換美元或港元，再兌換為泰銖比直接用人民幣兌換泰銖合算。2避免多次兌換損失是出境前先在國內兌換好外幣呢還是到了國外再兌換？用哪種貨幣來兌換更劃算？很多遊客出境時不考慮出行地使用的幣種，而是將所有的外匯額度全部換成美元。其實這種做法很不理性。一般來說，兌換目的地國家貨幣時應當避免多次兌換，以減少因多次兌換而產生的貨幣損失，如果需要的外幣量不多，可以先在國內銀行兌換所需的外幣。目前中國銀行櫃台可以兌換的境外貨幣有美元、英鎊、歐元、日元等13種，一般出境前只需憑護照和簽証即可辦理。建議在出發前先瞭解出境地貨幣使用情況，事先兌換好當地貨幣，而在境外消費時，則可根據匯率、消費多少及當時環境決定使用何種貨幣。當人民幣對出境地匯率明顯上升時，若可以選擇人民幣消費，應首選人民幣。由於兌換比率的不同，為避免多次兌換產生損失，建議外出儘量提前兌換當地貨幣。而兌換美元迷你倉出租行，還是兌換成旅行目的地的貨幣，主要依據外匯市場走勢情況來決定，這樣可以避免匯率轉換帶來的損失。3巧用銀行卡一樣有著數除了直接的貨幣兌換，那有沒有省錢的刷卡路線呢？事實上，在能刷銀聯卡的中國港澳地區以及東南亞等熱門出游地，使用銀聯卡刷卡消費，即採用銀聯網絡，中間只需經過一次貨幣兌換過程，匯率折算最精准，常常也認為是最省錢的方式。目前，信用卡幾乎各家銀行均可辦理，主要以美元雙幣卡為主，也有港元、歐元銀行卡。根據出游地不同，可選擇不同幣種的一卡雙幣銀行卡。例如，在歐洲大部分城市的商場、超市均可刷卡，那麼帶上歐元雙幣卡最方便，也最合算。與此同時，出國前咨詢自己的發卡銀行在境外取現的費率，去收費最少的銀行辦理一張借記卡，並存入人民幣。出國時帶一張借記卡和一張雙幣種信用卡，需要現金時，用借記卡在境外合作銀行的ATM機上取現；消費時使用信用卡，並告訴收銀員使用銀聯網絡進行支付。4熱門目的地兌換貼士東南亞國家：目前人民幣在東南亞國家可兌換成當地貨幣，加上人民幣匯率上升，因此在大部分東南亞國家，用人民幣兌換比用美元更方便合算。日本：建議在國內先用人民幣兌換日元現金；在日本用美元兌換日元是首選的方式，人民幣在日本無法兌換。在日本，兌換貨幣須在外幣兌換銀行或其他合法的貨幣兌換場所兌換，還須出示護照。韓國：建議在韓國當地用美元兌換韓元比較劃算，若沒有美元，則可先在國內銀行先將人民幣直接兌換成韓幣，如果是到達之後再用人民幣換韓元，匯率就比較低，不太劃算。歐洲：去歐洲前在國內銀行換好歐元再出發，或用人民幣換成美元，再到當地兌換歐元比較劃算。美國：建議在國內用人民幣換好美元再出發。只要帶上護照還有身份證就可以去中行等外匯兌換點兌換美元。澳大利亞：當地一般只以澳元結算，所以在國內用人民幣先兌換少量澳元是必須的，而像DFS免稅店購物通常也會收取美元。 （據《新快報》）儲存倉

☉記者 王宙潔 ○編輯 龔維松財報季的席卷，迷你倉新蒲崗猶如為各大企業照射了X光片，實力與缺陷一覽無餘。美國金融業的良好財報表現，成為本次美股財報季中不得不提的亮點。據海外媒體統計，在歐洲銀行業仍裹足不前時，華爾街投行的市場份額正在穩步增加，也有分析認為，金融股有望重登標普500指數第一大類股的寶座。據彭博資訊的統計，美國頂級投行今年二季度的證券業務總營收同比增長24%，相比之下，包括德意志銀行和巴克萊在內的歐洲大型投行同期增幅僅11%。美國前五大銀行中，固定收益、外匯、大宗商品銷售及交易部門的營收在二季度增長12%。而包括瑞信、匯豐控股在內的8家歐洲銀行二季度上述部門營收下滑8%至113億美元。此外，伴隨標普500指數不斷刷新紀錄高點，美國的企業並購交易額超過7000億美元，創下2011年以來最高水平。但歐元區的經濟下滑抑制了並購交易活動，歐洲銀行固定收益業務交易收入下降。海外媒體分析認為，除了歐元區不佳的經濟現況，歐元區銀行業還面臨著另一重壓力，即監管部門要求這些銀行提高權益資本占總資產的比例。巴克萊尋求下月以供股的形式募資58億英鎊，並打算剝離至多800億英鎊的資產。德意志銀行今年則迷你倉出租通過配股籌資29.6億歐元，還計劃減少2500億歐元資產。美國銀行業並非沒有壓力，它們面臨著退出商品交易業務的風險。因為美聯儲表示，將重新評估一項實施已十年的決定，考慮是否繼續允許銀行保有和交易原材料。摩根大通上個月末便表示，正在評估出售或分拆實物大宗商品業務的可能性。不過，今年以來美國金融股的表現算不上太差，漲幅已經近25%。並且這波漲勢絕大多數由大型銀行推動。摩根大通、富國 、花旗集團及美國銀行等年內漲幅都超過20%。海外媒體援引標準普爾道瓊斯指數公司的資料稱，目前金融股指數在整個標普500指數中的比重為16.6%，比科技類股低約1個百分點。今年初時，這兩個類股的差約為3.5個百分點。如果金融股比重超越科技股，將是2008年以來首次登上標普指數10個產業類股的榜首。在2009年3月9日美股低點時，金融股的比重只有8.9%，為1991年儲貸危機高峰以來最低。不過科技股今年以來的表現也可圈可點。本月稍早，高盛曾在一份研究報告中把科技股列為以價值和增長計表現最佳的標普500產業類股。而摩根大通曾在7月預測，在經濟增長和利率上升的環境下，科技股在接下來六個月的表現或優于其他所有板塊。儲存倉

「白居二」效應使得居屋連錄高價成交，新蒲崗迷你倉有業主受惠於此，換入私樓，成功「升呢」；惟大部分業主之換樓目標仍集中於中細價物業，市場日前卻驚見一單「居屋業主」斥1,277萬元購入海怡半島4房海景戶。　　　　　　　　 記者蘇麥報道美聯海怡半島西翼分行助理聯席董事梁文輝表示，該行日前促成一宗海怡半島4房單位成交，買家本為居屋業主，受惠於白居二，以理想價錢出售手上物業，先放盤、後入市，避開DSD，以約1,277萬元購入單位，成功換樓。梁文輝稱，剛成交的單位為海怡半島13A座中層G室，單位建築面積約1,105平方呎，實用面積約882平方呎，4房間隔，望海景，成交價約1,277萬元。建築面積呎價約為11,557元，實用面積呎價約為14,478元。買家為一名外區換樓客，見上述單位擁海景，而且預計南港島線(東段)將於2015年啟用，潛力優厚，故購入以上單位作自住之用。原業主於1992年3月以約372萬元購入單位，是次轉售帳面獲利約905萬元，物業升值約近2.4倍。根據金管局指引，1,200萬元以上物業按揭成數最高可至5成，則該前居屋業主須一次過繳付至少638.5萬元首付，與此同時，以按息2.15厘、還款期限25年計，該名業主每月還款額高達27,532元，若以供款對入息比例不超過50%計算，即每月入息應在5.5萬元左右。同時，依照�生銀行主頁之物業估價系統，海怡半島mini storage3A 座G 室戶型，樓高須在23層以上，估值才可勉強超過該單位之成交價，可見該業主在揀選樓按計劃方面亦須三思。居屋業主買私樓較罕見有接近本報的地產代理表示，居屋業主其實買得起幾百萬私樓的並非罕見，但「升呢」目標仍集中在500萬或以下之細價盤，即使在公營房屋較為集中的將軍澳區，類似居屋業主購置豪宅之個案亦屬罕見。根據代理消息，上月曾有將軍澳寶盈花園進取業主，在售出手頭作價約406萬元的居屋單位之後，欲挑戰叫價近900萬元之日出康城一期四房高層戶，然議價未果，只好韜光養晦，先租單位，靜待入市時機。另邊廂，大埔天賦海灣日前錄入伙後第二宗二手成交，有外區換樓客斥資約1,465萬元承接四房海景戶，由於業持貨未夠2年，須繳付5%SSD稅款。美聯大埔天賦海灣分行高級區域經理陳德文表示，該行剛促成一宗天賦海灣四房戶成交，為17座高層B室單位，建築面積約為1,371呎，實用面積約為1,062呎，四房一套間隔，望池景及部分海景，業主開價1,500萬元，議價35萬元後，以約1,465萬元成交，折合建築面積呎價約為10,686元，實用面積呎價約為13,795元。買家為一名外區換樓客，見單位全新，位處高層，故拍板承接單位。原業主於11年11月份以約1,326.5萬元購入上述物業，是次轉售扣除73.25萬元之SSD稅款後，帳面賺約65.25萬元。屋苑本月暫錄得約2宗成交。self storage

Source: The Columbus Dispatch, OhioAug.迷你倉沙田 10--Of all the cities in the United States, Columbus is the best -- in a couple of ways, at least.We're the No. 1 city for sports, we're told, and for working moms.No. 2 for job creation and for "bros," the obnoxious enthusiasts of beer pong and muscle shirts.No. 3 for fashion designers and for people described as "sex-happy."No. 4 among places to be young, broke and single (too bad about the broke part because we're also fourth for shopping).No. 5 for romantic restaurants -- and bedbugs.The capital of Ohio has accumulated dozens of rankings as an increasing number of online sites categorize cities by superlatives: coolest, smartest, fattest, drunkest."There's been list inflation out there. Everyone's been doing lists," said Bert Sperling, who in 1985 developed the software behind the Sperling's Best Places rankings published on his website, in magazines and by corporate clients.People like lists, he said, because they help make sense of an endless sea of online data.In presenting lists as slide shows, websites earn page views (translation: money) as readers click through ranking after ranking."In some cases," Sperling said, "they'll just put up whatever list they can think of that will be clickable."New Yorkers might not get too excited when their city tops a list, but Columbus rankings sometimes make news.Because Columbus has been said to lack an image among outsiders, a tone of surprise sometimes accompanies positive rankings for the city:"It might sound like the middle of nowhere," began a story on the personal-finance website Money Under 30 (the No. 4 "young, broke and single" ranking)."Columbus may surprise you by being on this list," said the consumer-advocacy website NerdWallet (top 10 destinations for gay travelers)."No, that's not a misprint," clarified Golf Magazine (No. 2 city for golf).Even backhanded compliments, though, help groups market the city.Columbus 2020 uses positive rankings about business and quality-of-life issues in its efforts to attract talent and economic development.The tourism pitches of Experience Columbus seem more legitimate when they include outside rankings, communication director Beth Ervin said.New marketing ideas have been inspired by rankings, such as one showing that Columbus has the third-highest concentration of fashion designers in the country.An Experience Columbus pitch along those lines led to a recent USA Today story (althoug迷你倉價錢 the opening line was familiar: "You probably never thought you'd read a story about Columbus, Ohio, being a mecca for fashionistas").Plenty of rankings aren't as practical, though. Some are determined not by data analyses but by reader surveys and, in some cases, who knows what.A determining factor in the "bros" rankings, for example: "reputations for partying." In ranking Columbus second, the real-estate website Estately mentioned the city's being home to Abercrombie & Fitch, allegedly a favorite brand of bros; and the inventors of Four Loko, the controversial alcoholic energy drink.In rankings on similar topics, analyses of different data yield contrasting conclusions.NerdWallet named Columbus seventh-best for recent college graduates, considering factors such as unemployment, the cost of living and the number of bars per 1,000 residents.But the Daily Beast website listed Columbus as 11th- worst for young adults, having used data to find cities where young people are increasingly unemployed, single and in debt.The rankings don't always jibe.Columbus is fifth among most-relaxed cities (ranked by Forbes), second-best for commuters (Kiplinger's) and second-safest for families (Underwriters Laboratories).But how could we be so calm when Sperling's Best Places says we're a top-20 spot for migraines, sleeplessness and hypertension?Can we really brag about being a better golf city than sunny Orlando, Fla., once home to the likes of Tiger Woods? Or a bigger "brain magnet," according to Forbes, than New York or Silicon Valley?Whether rankings are serious or frivolous, the aggregate matters most, said Kenny McDonald, chief economic officer of Columbus 2020.On the list of Columbus lists, some common themes emerge: The city is a good place to live and work, and a home to young, intelligent and creative people.In the past few years, McDonald has noticed many more rankings for Columbus -- and hopes that outsiders have, too."Over time, people start to ask: 'What's going on in Columbus? Why am I constantly seeing that name now?' " he said. "That's exactly what we're looking for."Still, with so many lists, Sperling noted, just about any city can find a positive take-away."Every place," he said, "is wonderful in some way."asaunders@dispatch.com@amyksaundersCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) Visit The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) at .dispatch.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉庫

Chinese guests showing great interest in theAfrican country By Li Lianxinglilianxing@chinadaily.自存倉com.cn Before Su Li, a 45-year-old manager of a travel agency in Yunnan province, went to Kenya in August with her family and clients, she was concerned the scenes in such a remote place might disappoint her group, and she did not know about the conditions in the country.“We saw the wildebeest migration on television, but it was just on the TV and we didn’t know how many animals were there and how spectacular it would be,” she said. “This trip costs much more than going to Europe or the United States.”Su has been in the industry for more than 23 years and said it’s very difficult but important to discover new destinations, especially for a place like Africa, which most Chinese travelers consider remote. She said her trip was a good test to see if Kenya is a good destination for her customers in the future. “It eventually proved to be a memorable journey that I will strongly recommend and sell to my clients,” Su said. “One can experience the most splendid natural gifts in this land that no other place could offer.”Like Su, many Chinese tourists are putting Africa on their agenda to get away from traditional travel destinations such as Europe, the US and Southeast Asian countries. Kenyan Tourism Minister Danson Mwazo said the number of tourists to Kenya in 2012 decreased, but the number of Chinese arrivals increased by 10.4 percent from a year earlier to 41,300.Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said his country must diversify its tourism market and attract more Chinese tourists, while continuing to provide good service to guests from the West. Joseph Paul, 44, is a driver who has worked in Kenya for more than 18 years. He said it has been a surprise for him to see the explosion of Chinese tourists coming to Kenya in the past two years. “Before 2012, there was a decrease of tourists traditionally from the West and Asian faces were rare, so we worried about the industry,” he said. “But in the summer of 2012, the savannah and hotels were full of Chinese tourists and they showed a great interest in our country.”Future targetsHe used to work for a tourist agency that mainly received European and American guests, but he decided last year to move to a Chinese agency as he considers the Chinese are the future targets of the country’s tourism. “I don’t know why some countries have issued travel warnings about my country, which has affected clients’ choices. But now we expect more Chinese to fill that gap and even bring more business,” he added. However, he said there are several mysteries about the tourism and natural heritage of Kenya, which has hampered the industry.“In my opinion, there shouldn’t be a peak season or a slow season because wild animals and beautiful landscape are always there — you can see the Africa big five at any time,” he said, referring to the most popular animals. “People divide the seasons based on the time of the animal migrations, but, unfortunately, the crossings are also very rare at peak season and the price of accommodations is much more expensive than at other times.”He suggested tourists go to Kenya at any time convenient for them, especially in the slow season, to avoid crowds and overpricing. Song Shengfeng, a 46-year-old traveler from Hebei province, visited Masai Mara with his family in August and said the country provided them with more than he expected. “The facili迷你倉新蒲崗ies along the route, especially the hotels and services, were so nice that I even thought we were in Europe,” he said. “We were actually prepared for poor conditions, for instance, unhygienic conditions or a lack of water.”Although wealth disparities could be seen along the roads, the general situation of the country was not as poor as they had been informed, he said.“I think to understand and witness the real Africa requires coming here to touch it, because seeing is believing,” he said. Song and his family were also impressed by the harmony between people and the wildlife.“Conflicts of living spaces are still there between the Masai people and lions, for instance, but we learned of the sacrifices they have made for nature and the wildlife,” he said. “It’s admirable and amazing that a national park could be established just next to a town center, and they get along with each other smoothly.”This is a lesson China should learn from Africa for a better living environment and relationship with nature, he added. According to the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism, visitors to Kenya in 2012 decreased from 1.26 million to 1.23 million and revenue shrank by 2 percent to 96 billion Kenyan shillings ($1.09 billion).The decrease was mainly because of several kidnappings of tourists and pre-general election tensions, according to the ministry. Travel warningsSeveral Western countries issued travel warnings for Kenya before the traditional peak seasons. The majority of tourists to Kenya are from the West, and Chinese visitors account for only a small proportion, said Han Jun, chairman of the China General Chamber of Commerce in East Africa, who also runs a travel agency in Nairobi.“There will still be an increase of Chinese tourists this year, but it will not be too pronounced because of the limited service capacity of this country,” he said. “Chinese tourists’ decisions about coming to Kenya will not be affected by Western travel warnings but by domestic social media.”He said that during the past two decades, no Chinese tourists were reported to have been endangered by the social situation, so they feel less concerned about safety in Kenya. “The only accidents that happened were traffic accidents, and they were operated by illegal tourism agents,” he added. But he showed some concern about the recent fire at the Nairobi international airport, which affected hundreds of passengers’ scheduled trips and raised worries about the country’s safety situation. “When CCTV did a live show on the animal migration in Masai Mara last year, the Chinese audience suddenly realized Kenya was a favorable tourist destination and started coming here,” he said. The live broadcast of the wild animal migration was very attractive to the Chinese audience, and it is also a good way to promote Kenyan tourism, said Song Jianing, chief of the CCTV Africa Bureau. “Kenya has very good tourism resources that were not known to Chinese tourists before, so when we decided to do this program last year. We received support from both China and Kenya,” she said. “The Kenyan television stations had long been wanting to do this but due to a lack of funds and technology, they thought cooperation with us was a very good choice to promote their natural wonders.” CCTV started its live broadcast in July 2012 and conducted a second in August. The live show ran from 4 to 6 pm on the station’s news channel with various topics and local guest hosts. 迷你倉出租

Grand X Quad Lite 入門首選中興通訊（ZTE）也是大陸通訊設備的巨頭之一，文件倉市場策略以低價手機進攻入門級別。今次推出的Grand X Quad Lite（V967S）為5吋四核千元手機。不足二千元就可以享受5吋mon及四核的速度，是一個高性價比的例子，但螢幕就只有QHD (Quarter High Definition)解像度，看慣高清的朋友可能未能接受到，但以入門級別而言，就已經可接受了，加上可更換式電池，方便經常上網的「長氣」用家。SPEC：貪靚Moto X 多款顏色任揀む科技速遞めMotorola自兩年前被Google收購後，在手機領域一直處於沉默狀態，新品可謂寥寥無幾。在經過了大量的傳聞之後，Motorola的新一代智能手機Moto X，終於在早前正式發佈。Moto X內置了最新Android 4.3系統，採用全新的所謂X8 Mobile Computing System處理器，它由一枚高通驍龍S4 Pro雙核1.7GHz處理器、一枚四核Adreno 320 GPU，以及兩顆分管語言解讀（使用Google Now的同時，不會對電池續航造成太大壓力），加上相關運算（管理感應器）的Motorola處理器組成。另外Moto X還擁有2GB RAM以及16GB/32GB ROM。螢幕方面，Moto X配備了4.7吋720p AMOLED螢幕（316ppi），同時擁有1000萬像素的Clear Pixel主鏡頭和200萬像素的前置鏡頭。此外該機還支援無線充電以及NFC功能，並配有一枚2200mAh電池。值得一提的是，Moto X使用與iPhone 5同規格的Nano-Sim卡。Moto存倉X還支援”touchless control”（無接觸控制）的功能，喚醒和操作手機。美國用戶除了可以在零售門店買到黑、白配色的Moto X外，還可以在各地Moto Maker購買訂製版，用戶可針對外殼材質、按鍵、顏色等方面進行訂製，但遺憾的是該項服務目前僅對美國運營商AT&T的用戶開放，而香港用家，因為Motorola已撤出香港市場，所以手機推出之後，應該只可以買到水貨了。螢幕大比拚P6（最上）因加入了In Cell LCD技術有關，將LCD及觸控面板合二為一，減少因夾層空氣折射而造成的影響，令螢幕畫面看上去較明亮。但看清楚Scribe HD（中）的顏色更銳利和準確。而Grand X Quad Lite（下）因價位不同，螢幕屬次一級的QHD mon，但畫面質素在此價位經已合格。相機測試相機成像方面，P6與Scribe HD均為800像素，但P6在色彩對比較強，亦較準確。而Scribe HD照片成像顏色出現不準確情況，對焦速度亦不太理想。至於Grand X Quad Lite像素只有500萬，照片成像只是可接受水平。結語P6貴為全球最薄手機，外形與性能都比現時中階手機出色。與iPhone八成相似的外形，也有iPhone八成的質素，唯一感到失望是螢幕敏感度有遲緩。ONE TOUCH Scribe HD造工不錯，但闊螢幕邊框，感覺有點浪費。而最敗筆是遊戲性能差勁，窒機窒到無朋友。但螢幕畫面與影片質素替它挽回不少分數。中興Grand X Quad Lite目標低價市場，效能非常合格，但外形始終擺脫不到強國味。還有，螢幕像素只有QHD的設定浪費了IPS高質螢幕。如果螢幕像素提升至高清，性價比之王非它莫屬。自存倉

By Agencies in Manila, Philippines ( China Daily) The United States and the Philippines begin formal negotiations this week to increase the rotational presence of US forces in the former US colony, deploying aircraft, ships, supplies and troops for humanitarian and maritime security operations.迷你倉The widening military cooperation, which includes the use of local bases for temporary deployments, signals rapidly warming security relations between the allies as the Philippines looks to the US to help counter China."We stand ready to tap every resource, to call on every alliance to do what is necessary to defend what is ours, to secure our nation and to keep our people safe," Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario told a news conference at the main army base in Manila.Del Rosario said the security framework agreement would improve maritime security while the military builds up its own capability for territorial defense.The talks coincide with a resurgence of US warships, planes and personnel in the region as Washington turns its attention to China and shifts its foreign, economic and security policies toward Asia.He said the talks would focus on the rules for the increased US presence.The Philippines previously hosted tens of thousands of US soldiers at two bases north of Manila, but they were forced to leave in 1992 after the Senate voted to end their lease contracts amid strong anti-US sentiment.A new agreement that went into force in 1999 allowed US troops to return to the Philippines for joint military e文件倉ercises, and thousands of US troops regularly flow through the country during war games.US special operations forces have also been rotating through the southern Philippines since 2002 to help Filipino soldiers against al-Qaida-linked militants, with the maximum number at any one time believed to hover at about 600. Philippine authorities have said the new agreement will pave the way for more joint war games.Negotiations for the new agreement begin on Wednesday in Manila and both sides hope to conclude talks this year, or after four rounds of discussions, said Carlos Sorreta, head of the US desk at the foreign ministry."It's not a basing agreement," Sorreta, spokesman for the four-member negotiating team, told a news conference."These negotiations will lead to incremental security benefits and cooperation rather than a fundamental shift in the regional military balance of power," said Patrick Cronin, of the US-based Center for a New American Security. "These talks are an important symbol of a refashioned alliance." Cronin said the upgrading of the alliance "will serve the interests of both nations and the region", adding that pre-positioned equipment would improve readiness to deal with natural disasters and other contingencies.Left-wing activists criticized the Aquino government for allowing a de facto basing agreement with the US. "The Philippines will be one giant weapons depot for US forces," said Renato Reyes of Bayan Muna, or Nation First, an umbrella organization of anti-US activist groups.Reuters-AFP存倉
