Saving Mindanao!

[Arthur Little]

:olddude: ... and rightly so! Because the Philippines' LARGE, southernmost island has - I'm given to understand - ALWAYS been rich in terms of its bountiful natural resources.

There follows ... an interesting article from the renowned 'Manila Standard' journalist, JoJo Robles:

Hyperbole and a filler article for the Manila Standard. Nothing will change in Mindanao in the foreseeable future. I actually phoned 2 separate people in Mindanao this very morning, one is in charge of over a hundred million pesos of foreign aid for Mindanao. There's been much, much more than that fed into the place for road projects, farmer aid...etc....etc....etc. The horror stories I am told from people actually on the ground could fill a book. Nothing is going to change for years.
