the philippines has a drug problem. its newest president, elected may 10 and named rodrigo duterte, promised to crack down and initiate a drug war. "no more rehabilitation, no more chances," he promised. since he won election, over 710 suspected drug addicts, dealers, and enablers have been killed (with 465 of those happening last month alone). duterte has infamously stated that he will "give medals" to all who help rid the philippines of those involved with drugs, and that people may either call the police or pick up a gun themselves and help out.

homicide reports are immediately dismissed if drugs are mentioned at all, making duterte's system grossly prime for abuse and attracting numerous complaints from human rights associations and the UN.

the united states and the philippines share a strong diplomatic and military bond ever since their 1946 declaration of independence. president duterte, who initiated the filipino drug war and openly criticized muslims living in the philippines, has now called the US ambassador a "gay son of a whore" for "pissing [me] off." diplomacy between the two nations is a bit dazed at the comment, but relations remain strong.

time for a cia-funded coup that will destroy the philipines and create a string of anti-american terrorist organizations to form 30 years later.
