[Title] => Gold in the Philippines
[Summary] => The formal inauguration of the Malampaya natural gas project of Shell is cause for national rejoicing. For the first time in history, the Philippines is now an energy producer. And it will produce not only a small amount of natural gas but a huge one, saving the Philippines hundreds of millions of dollars a year in oil imports.
It is strange but amusing, how some segments of Philippine society reacted to the formal inauguration of Shell’s Malampaya project.
