Success of Philippine animation industry illustrates drawing power of local talent

Article Abstract:

US production companies behind popular children's animated programs are finding a real bargain in the Philippines in the field of animation. The country offers the services of educated and highly skilled workers at minimum wage. An example is the Malaysian-owned Philippine Animation Studio Inc. which receives a minimum of $115,000 per episode for every program., but pays its workers in the local currency which is the peso. As a result, only a handful of people such as senior animators receive generous salaries for their services.

Vietnam's emerging Net faces control campaign

Article Abstract:

Vietnam is cautiously moving toward allowing Internet access as local and foreign companies position themselves in the country's rudimentary information highway. However, several obstacles remain as Vietnam prepares for the information age. One of the key obstacles is the issue of Internet's effect on security. Government and industry officials do not want to confront the issue so the country has yet to have full direct access to Internet.
