Problem with ATC at Manila

Just breaking in local media. Apparently (and forgive me I'm NOT an ATC type..just use the service-gratefully) the "Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunications Network" has gone belly up - NOT that this is too big a surprise here. ATC is currently using fax machines to pass along position reports, etc to other centers and reporting current flight delays of up to 15 minutes. Not a major deal, I guess....just wanted to pass along.
