MANILA -- The battle for the Okada Manila casino rages on as its Hong Kong-based owner says it will fight to regain control of the $2.4 billion integrated resort from Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada following a dramatic physical takeover of the premises last week.

The saga began five years ago when Okada was removed from the board of Tiger Resort Leisure & Entertainment Inc. (TRLEI), the casino's operator, for alleged fraud.
