That headline IS the summary.

I.E. The Philippines is thinking about becoming a gambling destination.

Well, he may be confident, but I'm not.
Just because Asia is awakening doesn't mean they will look to a land of crime, grime and cronyism. Life is too cheap there, judges are too cheap there, politicians are too cheap there and I wouldn't trust them with a cent.

Thank you, the other response is why I keep my comments to a minimum. I look at the title as a headline but in a few short words you have made the picture a little clearer.

Thanks for clearing that up. I am sure that little snide comments prevent many lurkers from contributing to this site, and that is sad.

This kind of comment is not funny, and just makes the forum seem hostile. The Philippines has 5 million overseas workers that send home roughly $20 billion in remittances. It would be nice if some of the developing world can bring some more work home, instead of exporting everything.

For the record, I was not attempting to be a smart-ass. Sorrt if it came off that way. I was attempting to make a serious reply. Ditto with this reply.

I REALLY could not believe that the headline was not enough of a "summary".

For the record, the above response indicates that, not a summary, but details, are wanted.

Quite a few of those workers are teaching our kids and grand-kids in public schools.
