There are a lot of other things that happen in the Philippines that might surprise you. Once you understand the general government climate, you would never be surprised by anything else. For example, airport officials have been caught in the past placing bullets in peoples suitcases so that they cannot pass security, and requesting a very large fee to ignore the issue. These are authority figures out to get money from little people.
