GEEZ! Guess I was being lazy when I asked this distance question (it was late for me). Could have Googled it myself.
It's an odd addition here. But recently, I've seen a couple of US TV shows about uber wealthy people (Corps? of some kind? but the Reps from these two ventures were an Aussie and a Yank) purchasing small islands in the Philippines with the intent of developing vacation hide-away spots for the international monied folks, big honeymooner spenders, that type of vacationer/clientele.
This kidnapping activity may not bode well for their ventures/bottom lines as I doubt the military is big enough to patrol all these island waters.
I hope the kidnapped people are found soon - alive and in good health.

That sucks. Hopefully we don't see anything like that closer to home.
