Acknowledgments
This book on media piracy in the Philippines and Vietnam is a product of a long and painstaking fieldwork, sociological research, and writing. This would not have been possible without the generous help from several people and organizations. The research data in the Philippines which focused on optical media piracy in Quiapo Barter Trade Center Complex in the city of Manila and its affiliate networks in Metro Manila and nearby provinces would not be a reality without the generous assistance and expertise of several people who assisted the author in his entire fieldwork. The author is thankful for the research grant of the Japan and Toyota Foundations which financed his postdoctoral fellowship under the Southeast Asian Studies Regional Exchange Program (SEASREP) in 2012. This grant enabled him to extend the scope of his dissertation research on media piracy to Vietnam. The author is particularly grateful to the SEASREP Executive Director, Dr. Maria Serena Diokno, and Program Officer, Ms. Imelda Adante, for facilitating the approval of his postdoctoral research grant application. With regard to his fieldwork in the Philippines, the author is greatly indebted to a community organizer (name withheld for security reason) of a local nongove
