I'd sure like to know the truth about Nichols and his trip to the Philippines.

When I was in graduate school, one of the other grad students was
a Phillipino, thus I got to meet plenty of Phillipinas.
Additionally, one of my best friends married a Phillipina.

I'd say I have a sample size of about 6 Phillipinas.
There were all nice and lovable, BUT...I suspect that if the husband of any
of them said
"Honey, I'm going to the Phillipines on a business trip; see you
in a month"...
That might just be about the last thing they say on this earth.
All the ladies were hard-core when it came to family ties.

Lots of people go to the Philippines and a fair number of them bring back Filipino brides. Few of those Filipino brides have fathers who alert authorities to the fact that their new son in law is involved with some bad folks.
