In the Philippines corruption is rampant - from the Palace, and
Congress, through all levels of the so-called justice system there:
crooked police in PNP, crooked Fiscal/Prosecutors, and never
forget all the corrupt judges !
Remember the Mindanao Massacre last fall, where a local warlord
murdered 57 people including some journalists? He got away with it
becuase he was an important reason for the election of the former President !
He still has not had atrial, even though allegedly there are witnesses to
testify.
An investigation has revealed that senior officials of PNP[Philippines National
Police knew in advance of the massacre, but being corrupt, did nothing.
The media report further, that senior PNP ere in fact active in the massacre!
Now is the time for sensible people, considering a tourist destination
- TO AVOID & BOYCOTT UNSAFE PHILIPPINES !!
It will be better, AND SAFER, TO VISIT BETTER DESTINATIONS IN THE
AREA - GUAM, SINGAPORE, AUSTRALIA, MALAYSIA, INDONESIA,
THAILAND AND VIETNAM, FOR EXAMPLE.

Reuters news service is stating that some of those killed, were in fact killed
by the POLICE !
The news are also stating that the PNP Captain who had been fired from PNP, is
the same person under investigation for his part in the murders of some
prominent businessmen a few years earlier !

It seems that there are regularly news stories in the Manila Bulletin and
Enquirer newspapers about foreigners being robbed, raped, and even murdered
in the Philippines.
The so-called justice system there prefers to protect their Pinoy criminals,
rather than foreigners - tourists and investors.
Oh, look! There's William Grosvenor's favorite
newsreader again!

My chinese friend (Denito Kwa, owner of 'Youngstown' Tuna) and sister
were killed by muslim people while driving to the airport on their
returning trip back home in a muslim state.
Now, family members asking me to find lawyer in HK to trace his
million that he channelled from the Phillipiones to HK while he was
alive...is there any one out there able to handle this?
