This is an interesting BBC article where they talked to a woman who is part of the death squads and a small time drug dealer who's basically in hiding for fear of being murdered. People earlier in the thread were talking about how if you aren't poor, this isn't having much effect on you and that seems to bear out in the article. Both the killer and drug dealer are very poor.

I remember one of the responses to this was to give the reporter a raise or something because they could find one of these so called secret killers and that the reporter was likely full of poo poo. It's clear that the reporter probably isn't making things up unless the person they interviewed is also making things up.


Yeah, I did consider that but the BBC tends not to publish outright false information, so I figured I might as well post it.

How strong is their case against de Lima anyway? Last I heard anything about that, they were trying to play the morality police and slut-shame her for alleged infidelity.

Also making the rounds are people blaming the international media for "destabilizing the country". Yea sure, blame the international media for the trouble in the glorious Democratic People's Republic of the Philippines. :allears:

It sounds like the case will end up being as strong as the administration wants it to be.
