Getting into the 'action' (opinion).  "Having to spend P1.1 trillion, equivalent to 6.3 percent of the country's GDP, this year alone is more than enough to make those less upright bureaucrats of [Philippine President Duterte's] government salivate and spend sleepless nights trying to find ways of cashing in on a percentage of any project."

China's new Anti-corruption $15,000 Withdrawal Cap Could Benefit Tourism Stakeholders.  The Chinese government has instituted a new annual limit on the amount of money that can be withdrawn from personal Chinese bank accounts overseas, set at $15,000 (100,000 yuan), in an attempt to curb money laundering, terrorism financing, and tax evasion.
