RE: Ala-Kol - Glacial Turquoise Bliss

Traveling in the Philippines might end up leading to prison, because corrupt policemen like to extort money from foreigners. If they don’t receive payment immediately, they may file a charge and put an innocent traveler in jail. This scheme is carried out by policemen, prosecutors, and judges. It operates automatically; corrupt policemen do not need connections or to bribe a prosecutor in advance.
