Asian Development Bank headquarters are in Manila
Which was a mistake on their part
from the Japanese?
Yeah. They thought this was a 1st world country in the making
Japan wanted the bank to be Tokyo, however the representatives of the member nations voted otherwise.
>Japan hoped that the ADB offices would be in Tokyo.
>However, eight other cities had also expressed an interest—Bangkok, Colombo, Kabul, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Phnom Penh, Singapore, and Tehran.
>To decide, the 18 prospective regional members of the new bank held three rounds of votes at a ministerial conference in Manila in November/December 1965.
>In the first round on 30 November, Tokyo failed to win a majority, so a second ballot was held the next day at noon.
>Although Japan was in the lead, it was still inconclusive, so a final vote was held after lunch.
>In the third poll, Tokyo gained eight votes to Manila's nine, with one abstention.
>Therefore, Manila was declared the host of the new development bank.
>The Japanese were mystified and deeply disappointed.
>Watanabe later wrote in his personal history of ADB: "I felt as if the child I had so carefully reared had been taken away to a distant country." (Asian Development Bank publication, "Towards a New Asia", 1977, p. 16)

J-FDI could've been so much higher had it not been for the dipshit Queen of Darkness.
Her 12-hour brownouts made the Philippine a poor choice to outsource export oriented manufacturing.
Thailand instead became the recipient of an economic boom courtesy of post Plaza Accord Japan's outsourcing.
