Soon after Marcos was tossed out on his ear, the new Philippine
gov't made noises about only paying back that portion of their
international debts that could be traced as having actually been
spent on developmental work.  The rest, presumably pocketed by
Marcos and company, would not be considered a valid debt.

I never heard any more about this.  Has this interesting idea
popped up again anywhere else ?
