[Title] => Philippine pre-poll wars risk alienating investors
[Summary] => Seasoned investors expect a fair degree of volatility from the Philippines, but paralyzing political infighting before next Mays election threatens to push the country off the radar of acceptable risk.

The more I read about the fight over listed energy company First Gen’s investment in Prime Infrastructure Capital’s hydropower projects, the more I find myself sifting through the things that mattered. More than the family dispute, the court cases or the corporate resolutions, we seem to be distracted by narratives, which are important, but are not the end-all and be-all of the situation.
