I spent considerable years in tunneling industry and I know personally few people who want to invest in the Philippines (Mining). Most of my friends in Asia and Australia are engaged in mining industry.
Some of them actually went to the Philippines few months back to have a look of a mining site to be financed by them BUT when they came back to Australia they told me......RED TAPE AND CORRUPTION IS RAMPANT, THERE IS NO TRANSACTION BY THEM WITHOUT MONEY SPENT JUST TO PLEASE THE LOCAL OFFICIALS AND OTHER AUTHORITIES.... they are worried that the money they are going to pour will vanish...WHAT A SHAME... I am still a Filipino and I feel ashamed since I was the one who told them to try in my HOME COUNTRY.
