The Philippines is what the United States of America of America could hold out similar if the Deep State in addition to Donald Trump were on the same page rather than at loggerheads.
While Trump struggles to larn the smallest component of his election promises passed into law in addition to enforced, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte tin lav basically bring the scum rounded upwardly in addition to shot piece he jokes almost it at press conferences.
The primary employment the Philippines has is a massive drug problem -- partly the legacy of US armed services bases that i time defiled this beautiful province of innocent peasants in addition to fishermen. This inward plow causes political corruption, every bit drug coin is used to purchase off policemen in addition to politicians. The terminate effect is a human sewer of vice in addition to degradation.
But nether the benign dominion of "Duterte Harry" all that is changing, in addition to all because the President's hands are non tied.
In the latest event of how commonwealth should work, President Duterte called out Reynaldo Parojinog, the mayor of the metropolis of Ozamiz on Mindanao island, for having links amongst the illegal drugs trade. The adjacent affair y'all know the constabulary brand a polite "business call" on the mayor, amongst the effect that he is forthwith "officiating" at the local morgue.
Parojinog was killed amongst his married adult woman in addition to 10 others inward a hail of gunfire afterward constabulary served a warrant in addition to somehow the security pick out manage of on somebody's pistol slipped.

Police tell they were fired on first. Friends of the victim tell it was the other agency round. Either agency Parojinog joins the to a greater extent than than 7,000 people who bring been killed inward Duterte's country of war on the drugs trade, launched precisely a twelvemonth ago.
Parojinog is forthwith the 3rd Philippine mayor to hold out killed inward the government's crackdown. In add-on to the mayor, his blood brother was also killed inward the dawn raid, in addition to his daughter, the city's vice-mayor, arrested. Officers also recovered rifles, cash, in addition to illegal drugs.
OK, occasionally innocent people are going to larn caught inward the crossfire, in addition to that is also bad. But on the other hand, how many innocent people endure when a province is run yesteryear drug gangs in addition to corrupt politicians?
Now, if alone Trump could bargain amongst the corrupt scum who run America's "sanctuary cities" inward a similarly decisive manner. Come on, Deep State, larn on board. You know y'all desire to.
