Let this serve as a geography lesson for Taylor Kitsch.
Agence France-Presse (AFP), via ABS-CBNNews.com, reports that Denny Indrayana, Indonesian deputy minister for justice and human rights, confirmed to news portal Detik.com that "the Indonesian official who allegedly bribed Kitsch has been identified and we are now in the process of interrogating him." Indrayana added: "He will be sanctioned if he is found guilty of asking for a bribe."
In the March 1 broadcast on The Late Show With David Letterman, Kitsch had unthinkingly assented when Letterman asked him if he had gone to the Philippines to shoot the Oliver Stone film Savages.
The AFP report noted: "Indonesia ranked 100th of 182 countries on Transparency International's annual corruption index." By contrast a 2011 ABS-CBNNews.com report revealed that the Philippines ranked 129th in the said corruption index.

Ang ganda naman ng usapan nyo. Tama ka, Mark ang mga taong nanghihikayat na magtrabaho ang ating mamamayan sa ibang bansa ang may sala kung bakit nawawalan ng pag asa ang mga Pinoy. Pinagkakakitaan lang naman nila ang mga ito. Naniningil sila ng mga fees, sila ang numero unong problema ng brain drain. Akala ng iba tumutulong sila, hindi nila alam nakakapinsala sila sa Pilipinas. Mas tunay na Pilipino ang mga entrepreneurs dito sa ating bansa kasi:
- they create employment
- they teach other Filipinos to be an entrepreneur someday, and that becomes a cycle
-they give pride to being Filipinos
