So it seems I have a new cause next to my quest about Globe hacking websites as last week I met a former customs officer who was very concerned about an issue that smells like tax evasion, or more probably just fraud, by Shell Philippines. And the concern was not only about Shell, but also about the government not following up or allowing Shell to get away with it, costing The Philippines billions of pesos, so tens of millions of US dollars.
So I was given a webpage (Shell tax free) about the issue, but being a bit knowledgeable about internet I think that site/page is not enough to make known to the world what has been going on here and is probably still going on, partly because it is partly in Tagalog. So related to my Globe cause I think I’ll make a similar page related to the Shell issue in this site, stating e.g. some facts in chronological order. Maybe let’s start with some referrals to other pages about the subject doing some Google search:
