Text: 71 Dismissing a case on the basis of forum non conveniens may result in an unfavorable change in the law to be applied. Such a change should not be conclusive or even a substantial factor in a court's decision to dismiss for forum non conveniens; unless, however, the change results in the remedy provided by the alternative forum being so clearly inadequate or unsatisfactory such that it is no remedy at all.... Air Crash, 821 F.2d at 1164, n. 27. Moreover, there is a presumption that the substantive law of a foreign forum is adequate. Vaz Borralho v. Keydril Co., 696 F.2d 379, 392 (5th Cir.1983). Because neither party has suggested that Philippine law would deprive Plaintiff of a remedy, the court finds the Philippines to be an adequate forum.
