| Abstract: | Foreign investment has been rolling in - but it's a fickle and mobile commodity. During breakfast in the Shanga-La hotel's coffee shop at the centre of the country's top Makati business district, the din is a chorus of different languages. In the evening, it's the same multinational scene at the nearby upmarket Giraffe Bar as British, American and Singaporean yuppies swap stockmarket rumours over drinks. Meanwhile a Filipino-Chinese tyvoon is frantically making calls to Hong Kong bankers for a major loan. |
