Cites from the Phillipines, does not take much to get, considering that when the collector/supplier applys for the Cites, they slip a little cash in as a bribe, and they get their Cites.
All the beautiful fish that we like come from 3rd world countries (except Hawaii). and in these countrys, the "laws" are more catering to the money.
Its quite unfortunat, but, unless we ALL stop buying fish (not gonna happen here) then there will still be a demand for the product.
On a side note, i have not seen any videos that look like they are recent, ie. later than the 80s, unless their technoloy is crap over there.
just my 2 cents.

We should go find all those dynamite/cyanide fisherman and give em a good canadian Ass Woopin.
Its terrible that nothing in the Philippines is protected. The reefs are not going to last much longer like that
