    Hi BD,
    Have you had any contact on his behalf with the British Embassy in Manila? It seems to me that they should be doing something and if they are they should be keeping you, or at least whoever is listed as his next of kin informed about their progress. I'm really disgusted about this, I mean, what's the point of shelling out taxpayers money to maintain an embassy in the Philippines if the jobsworths there don't do (or appear not to do) anything when a British citizen is imprisoned there without due process of Philippine law.
    Iain.

    Im with constant contact with the pro consul Mr Tampinco, however he said the embassy cannot intervene with the Philippine Law. Kevin had wrote so many letters to the consul but she cannot do much - I even sent already an email to the Foreign Secretary just for him to check what other possibilities he can extend to Kevin, unfortunately even Mr. Wills is still waiting for his response. Kevin's ordeal was even publicised already in the UK but nothing concrete happened they only thought I need funds to make things rolling but they dont listen to me that what is more important is that FCO check the legality of the arrest and the detention. The reason why DOJ is not looking much on the case as even Kevin's own government doesnt even bother to check on him.

    This is more than a nightmare to anyone who only want is to be with its family What more I can do for Kevin

    If only his own family can see the severity of all this maybe they can be listened by their own country...as it is only me who needs to knock at the FCO.
    There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.
