Hi! Do you have a source on the number you've quoted -- the five hundred executions? I'd be really interested in reading more about them.
A couple of my friends on Facebook are Filipino and maintain that electing Duerte was a necessary evil, if not the correct decision outright, due to endemic levels of corruption. What are your thoughts on this rationale? It has always sat uncomfortably with me, but I've sort of pushed it aside, given that I don't live in the Philippines.
it sounds nuts, right? but totally real. my former roommates fiancee is from the city this guy was originally mayor of (not manilla a smaller city called dvao), and she was telling me about it a few weeks ago.... Dvao had super high crime rates.. so this guy gets elected mayor, and just basically hires gangs of vigilantes to murder criminals in the street. Basically he got elected presidnt because he was famous for that. The "amnesty program" in effect right now is that if you turn yourself in, you won't get executed in the street , just put in jail.
