This is an interesting article, and I've no particular reason to doubt City AM (a well-known but very localized UK publication) as a source:

Blair is an interesting one - USD $600,000 (converted from GBP) for a speech. I'm really not sure what political influence the Filipino company that paid him that could have hoped to get, but I can certainly understand the PR benefits from their perspective.
