Money? What do you mean? Are you somehow implying that the whistle blower was one person who wanted to be given a "pasalubong" or gift? And was not, so hence he / she made false allegations to NBI and thus led to the raid?
Wow, you know that this will probably result in the company vacating Cebu. Japanese business culture , specially start-up companies, have a tendency of leaving any areas that are associated with ill-auspicious events. Its a bad omen, bad luck.
Considering the level of corruption in nearly all levels of the PH government, I am not that surprised this things happen... Or some officials are just incompetent and are not communicating with the local government units.
As for the money part, since they were arrested due to alleged "illegal" working, the only way they could get out of jail is by paying the fine. See, the Philippine justice system is very dysfunctional and the restrictive economic atmosphere here in the Philippines is very restrictive and add to that the Philippine government is corrupt and dysfunctional, well it is a recipe for disaster.
Manila is much worse than Cebu though.
We still have a long way to go to become a "normal" nation - normal in the sense that we have a functional government.
Well I hope they don't do it because it will be more harmful for them than beneficial. Japan can remove all its investment from there and bring back its small community into Japan and reinvest in some other place like Malaysia or Indonesia
Sadly, majority of the Philippine officials are not known for their long-term views. It is either because of corruption, incompetence, or insecurity on the side of the Filipinos.
