hong kong not manila

from the australian:

'The first tranche of funding was originally due on November 3 but has faced constant delays.

The company originally blamed the delays on a cyclone and bank holiday in Manila, Philippines where Assure chairman Robert Rivero is based.

Metal Storm has since sent staff to Hong Kong where the deal is being negotiated with Assure’s bank the Royal Bank of Scotland. '

maybe the funds went from manila to HK - and now being processed to Aus??
