Yes and that hurt a lot to US lol.
oh yes we can have our drug of choice any moment of the day we love it. but none of the US business anymore. we gotta kill those who use those shabus. there remains those undocumented drugs that you didn't mention like kratom and those juices from san pedro cactus.

I am routing for a drug free Philippines but I do not know if it can be attained a hundred percent.

Do you know cause of his death? That girl is killed by vigilante killings. This person is drug syndicates. It is not the job of police to kill drug pusher without violent resistant. So do you get it now. Before you listen to the news try to verify it if its true or hoax. Some media hates duterte because he is frank.

Duterte had vowed to keep his "shoot-to-kill" order "until the last day of my term, if I'm still alive by then".

"I don't care about human rights, believe me," he said, according to official transcripts released by the presidential palace.

About 800 people have been killed since Duterte won a landslide election in May, according to reports by the local press, which has been tracking reports of extra-judicial killings.

Editors’ Note: The surge in the killing of suspected criminals since June 30, 2016, has been marked and unmistakable. Most of those killed were identified by the police as suspected drug dealers or pushers (“tulak”). This KILL LIST is an attempt to document the names and other particulars of the casualties in the Duterte administration’s war on crime; it will be updated every Monday and Thursday.

To date, the list includes at least 294 dead who remain unidentified and over 100 who are identified only by an alias; we are seeking other ways to verify identification.

That ain't real. Its best presented to mediamen. Look however stupid you can be not to comprehend what we are experiencing, you may never understood it.

But Granted that US is indeed keeping their promise to fight for us and If US is willing to die for us, they would have aggressively taking scarborough shoal for the PH but NOOooo. US instead tend to give advice to Aquino to declare war to China, what could have happen if we go war against China?

What we do want instead is to see US do actions and maybe eve before the Chinese created those facilities there in scarborough.

But anyway, if one like you are stupid to understand it then i guess its worth leaving US without an ally here in Southeast.

Haha do you where did this started? You are idiot. The American is the one who started the fire. Duterte is just depending himself for the good of all filipino. Do not want to others what you do not want unto you. That his basic principles in life. You guys are too malice. Creating imagination which destroy the man's reputation.

Five-year-old Danica May became the youngest reported victim of the Philippine government’s abusive “war on drugs” on Tuesday.


The kindergarten student died from a gunshot wound to the head after an unidentified gunman opened fire on her grandfather, Maximo Garcia, as the family sat down to lunch. The attack came just three days after Garcia had registered with local police, who suspected his involvement in the drug trade. Garcia had said he wasn’t.

"A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members"
   
~Pope John Paul II

"...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. "
~Last Speech of Hubert H. Humphrey

"Any society, any nation, is judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members -- the last, the least, the littlest."
~Cardinal Roger Mahony

"A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization."
~Samuel Johnson

"The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens. As Americans, we are blessed with circumstances that protect our human rights and our religious freedom, but for many people around the world, deprivation and persecution have become a way of life."
~James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.

"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members."
~ Mahatma Ghandi

So long as a dictator gets to make PHilippines a better livable place, its going to be an easy comfort for the people.

 Libya and Iraq use to have a dictator that made their country before US supported some rebs doing skirmish attacks like what they are currently doing in Syria.

Are resources limited, scarce?  Or nearly unlimited?  Is the planet fragile or robust?

Simons presented clear, convincing arguments as to why resources were nearly unlimited.  Erlich argued that resources were limited, and that this would result in massive near term starvation.  We know who was right, of course.

It's also true that many of Erlich's arguments are being repackaged in the form of Global Warming Hysteria.

"It is not severance of ties. When you say severance of ties, you cut diplomatic relations. I cannot do that," the Philippine leader told reporters at a midnight news conference in his southern home city of Davao.

"It's in the best interest of my countrymen to maintain that relationship."

Looks like it works. Now I was able to set the bids at the prices I am willing to take from the dumpers.
I wonder how come Poloniex is such a clumsy site to trade. It takes almost eternity to set orders to the markets.

Man you dont know what is the attitude of the person in this world some person want to destroy him for their own interest. As you can see in the situation the president is a victim of this kind of person in both US and China. US to probed against human rights violation but US is the one who massacred middle east double standard. And china which occupies the west philippine sea. So who is the victim after all its philippines. Am i right? People hide from the curtain to destroy man's reputation to get that they are the who is stronger but they are the one who is weak. They use money to manipulate others. This person is fair. He is never been a corrupt person look what his done in his city. Do not want to others what you do not want unto you. Thats all. Then who is the VICTIM?

A demagogue or rabble-rouser is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignorance among the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation. Demagogues have usually advocated immediate, violent action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty. Demagogues violate established rules of political conduct; most who were elected to high office changed their democracy into some form of dictatorship.

US didn't chose a side at all. Any agreement between US and Philippines never mention anything about fighting to defend us. They are all vague and no one is willing to die for us and thise military excercises are just crazy shit. The US sold us some planes without missles, military excercises allow us to use US weapons but were never given to Us. Ain't that shit?

West ph sea is our to burn.

The United States Asiatic Fleet was a fleet of the United States Navy during much of the first half of the 20th century. Preceding the World War II era, until 1942, the fleet protected the Philippine Islands. Much of the fleet was destroyed by February of that year, after which it was dissolved and incorporated into the naval component of the Southwest Pacific Area command, which eventually became the 7th Fleet.

The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) was an international organization for collective defense in Southeast Asia created by the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, or Manila Pact, signed in September 1954 in Manila, Philippines. The formal institution of SEATO was established on 19 February 1955 at a meeting of treaty partners in Bangkok, Thailand [1] The organization's headquarters were also in Bangkok. Eight members joined the organization.

Primarily created to block further communist gains in Southeast Asia, SEATO is generally considered a failure because internal conflict and dispute hindered general use of the SEATO military; however, SEATO-funded cultural and educational programs left long-standing effects in Southeast Asia. SEATO was dissolved on 30 June 1977 after many members lost interest and withdrew.

The United States still considers the mutual defense aspects of its treaty active for Australia, France, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

Yeah its also a tiresome accusation to our president.
Accusations and accusations however true that is, we call it quits now.

We now have all the ooportunities with China, russia and possibly the rest like japan. We can take US out of the picture. Go on with your life now. Theres more ahead of you.

Just wait duterte is now getting money to have drug rehab center by state visit on several country all over the world. He is making this to have good economy, education and health for his country because he loves his country more than himself. This president is a fair person which want fair law all over the world.

yeah fair enough right? US is raping us while thy try to feed. Fair?
What do US care about the killings here. Mind what US currently murdering in Syria. And those you murder in black cities.

To this day, much is heard of the Rape of Nanking when the rampaging Japanese Imperial Army killed 300,000 from 1937 to 1938, and raped 20,000 women in that Chinese capital.

Pitifully few, though, in the Philippines and even fewer elsewhere, know that in Manila, in February 1945, World War II at its agonizing climax brought forth 100,000 burned, bayoneted, bombed, shelled and shrapneled dead in the span of 28 days.  Unborn babies ripped from their mothers’ wombs provided sport: thrown up in the air and caught, impaled on bayonet tips.

With rape on the streets and everywhere else, the Bayview Hotel became Manila’s rape center.  After the dirty deed was done, nipples were sliced off, and bodies bayoneted open from the neck down.

William Manchester in his book “American Caesar,” wrote that “Once Rear Adm. Sanji Iwabuchi had decided to defend Manila, the atrocities began, and the longer the battle raged,  the more the Japanese command structure deteriorated, until the uniforms of Nipponese sailors and marines were saturated with Filipino blood.

“The devastation of Manila was one of the great tragedies of World War II.  Seventy percent of the utilities, 72 percent of the factories, 80 percent of the southern residential district, and 100 percent of the business district were razed…Hospitals were set afire after their patients had been strapped to their beds.  The corpses of males were mutilated, females of all ages were raped before they were slain, and babies’ eyeballs gouged out and smeared on walls like jelly.”

Annually in February, a day is set aside to remember at the Memorare monument in Intramuros.

A group of elderly Filipinas raped by Japanese troops during World War II called for compensation from Japan on Wednesday, after Tokyo’s pledge of $8.3 million for South Korean women forced into Japanese military-run brothels during the war.

Isabelita Vinuya, 84, the president of Malaya Lolas — a group of Filipinas abducted and raped by Japanese troops in their village — urged the Philippine government to support their demand for justice from Japan.

He was a single author.

He is but 1 person. This consensus amongst scientists is far far beyond that.  (Apparently not "solar scientists" - apparently)

Anyway, it is a huge logical fallacy to equate one guy who wrote a book (however popular) one with global warming because he was an alarmist.

I did google the book a bit.  I'm not sure how he calculated we'd be out of food in the 70s or 80s. We can take on a ton of population by just switching to vegetarian based diets. The level of knowledge in that area 50 years ago must have been horrendous.

btw - Not only could I be wrong, I actively hope to be wrong. I just look and never see evidence or arguments that strike me as compelling.

As the highest priority of all Chinese leaders since the beginning of time has always been to align decisions with the understood Will of the Tao.

OMG, who the hell cares. Enough about this guy. Are the majority of users here from the Philippines or something?

If the US can chose a side between China and Philippines they should have done it but the cowards can't. And this isn't propaganda as you thought. US can't win vs China.

After hesitating for years, the United States has finally decided to openly challenge China in the West Philippine Sea, deploying destroyers into the 12 nautical miles radius of Chinese-occupied land features in the area.

Given the massive power asymmetry between China and its smaller neighbors, only the United States has the wherewithal to challenge Beijing’s unremitting quest for maritime dominance in East Asia. And to the delight of its Asian allies, particularly the Philippines and Japan, the Obama administration is finally drawing a line in the sand

Like never before, America is directly challenging China’s sovereignty claims in the area, even if this carries the risk of heightened Sino-American tensions ahead of the APEC and ASEAN summits next month, if not potential clashes between American and Chinese armed forces. No less than the future of the Asian order hangs in the balance.

Refusing to acknowledge China’s sovereignty claims over artificially-created islands in the area, the United States Navy’s (USN) guided-missile destroyer (USS Lassen) has pierced into the 12 nautical miles radius of Beijing-occupied land features on a regular basis

On paper, the United States professes neutrality on the sovereignty claims of competing claimant states in the South China Sea. But its recent decision to conduct freedom of navigations operations – deploying surveillance vessels and possibly even reconnaissance aircrafts – within the 12 nautical miles radius of China’s artificially-created islands represents a de facto rebuke of China’s territorial claims in the area.

How powerful is a US Navy carrier strike group compared to other navies?
I heard that a deployed CSG is more powerful than most (or maybe all) other countries entire navies. Is this true? How would one measure this?

The first thing to understand about U.S. aircraft carriers is that they are very big and very well defended.  They displace ~100,000 tons of water, making them the biggest warships ever constructed, and their four-acre decks hold dozens of multi-role fighters superior to anything operated by Russia/China’s air force or navy.  They typically are escorted by cruisers or destroyers carrying the Aegis combat system — the world’s most sophisticated air defense system — and nuclear-powered attack submarines.  Since the carriers themselves are nuclear-powered, they are always moving and unconstrained by logistical needs.

China, India are just beginning to play with carriers - they are in a developmental stage and not capable of on-demand performance for delivering strategic air power.
 
Given then that only the US, Russia and maybe France could deliver nuclear weapons via CSG then that answers the question, is a USN CSG more powerful than MOST other countries' entire navy and the answer is yes.

Given that the USN operational performance levels are probably higher than and we have 10 strategic carriers vs one for France and one for Russia, its also true that the USN CSG is at least as powerful as any other navy if not more so.

Of all news sites, you believe yahoo news?

US is butthurt  what US can do now is get out of Syria for the country to be independent else fight Russia.
Philippines is too far from US and the reality is that US can't help but if they are too butthurt, they can declare war with China.
