                    [Summary] => The law firm of Romulo Mabanta Buenaventura Sayoc de los Angeles is mad. A Philippine agency supposedly caused Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption to raid its offices in the financial island in search of evidence of money laundering. Documents were confiscated, so RMBSA cries breach of lawyer-client confidentiality and is threatening to sue for damages.

                    [Summary] => Normally in constructions, the builder turns over the structure first for the owner’s inspection before final billing. Not so in the case of NAIA Terminal-3, whose ceiling collapsed days before scheduled test-run. Here, builder Piatco, German partner Fraport, and general contractor Takenaka are in a hurry to lay their hands on anywhere from $412-$560 million in construction fees. And officials of the owner-government are too eager to pay out a $55-million installment even without thorough check.

                    [Summary] => The law firm of Romulo Mabanta Buenaventura Sayoc de los Angeles is mad. A Philippine agency supposedly caused Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption to raid its offices in the financial island in search of evidence of money laundering. Documents were confiscated, so RMBSA cries breach of lawyer-client confidentiality and is threatening to sue for damages.

Not so in the case of NAIA Terminal-3, whose ceiling collapsed days before scheduled test-run. Here, builder Piatco, German partner Fraport, and general contractor Takenaka are in a hurry to lay their hands on anywhere from $412-$560 million in construction fees. And officials of the owner-government are too eager to pay out a $55-million installment even without thorough check.
