Some years ago the other DrC and I spent a year on Guam - a U.S. territory - as visiting faculty at the University of Guam. We were part of the relatively small civilian expat community. Expats were fond of observing that this or that local peculiarity was an "OOG," meaning something that happens Only On Guam.
USA Today reprints a story from Guam's Pacific Daily News, both are Gannett papers. The story reports the island's private hospital has a whole floor ready for occupancy which they cannot open because they have not purchased local art equal to 1% of their construction costs of $150 million. The story reports the island needs the hospital, needs the beds, and won't allow them to open ... definitely an OOG.
The requirement to purchase local art equal to 1% of construction costs is thinly disguised graft, an island specialty. You would think the Philippine hospital company would understand the necessity of graft, would you not? The cultures are similar, though not identical.
Expats once joked the FBI sent agents who had lost their self-confidence to Guam where they could get several easy convictions and regain their mojo. Several government officials, including a governor, were convicted while or shortly after we were briefly there.
