At that point legality doesn't really matter. This is just how "traditional" Philippine politicians are, especially the powerful dynasties in the provinces. Duterte is one of the worst, but he's certainly not the only one here.

So this is part of the reason why the ICC arrest is very much important to us (not everyone, since the guy has a huge following, sadly). He will never be prosecuted here. The hope is that an outside enforcer will properly prosecute and actually lock him and his cronies up for good.

Comment by apt is right. There have also been numerous cases where teens were killed for no reason and put under the war on drugs killings.

These happened while he was president. But he was a long-time mayor of Davao City, where he had a death squad. I assume I don't have to outline the implications of a mayor having his own death squad.

Filipino here. For some of us, this is a huge step towards justice for the victims of the killings when he was in power. We can't really expect the PHL govt to do something like this given how sketchy it is, so to some people the ICC is the only hope.

He brags about many crimes then says he never did anything whenever convenient.

My work uses a web-based interface that's very annoying to use on Firefox. I'm unfortunately tied to Chrome in the meantime, so uBlock lite is a lifesaver.

 

Here's my DIY substitute for Puresound Custom Pro type snare wire strap:

Lanyard around a cut-up metal straw, and zip ties thru the straw to lock them in place.

Holds up well!

Shit like this just screams "bad company" to an applicant. Especially since some companies are always hiring because of tax breaks and other shady benefits, not because of actual openings. Such a waste.

They got gigs by connections! Same is still true today. Personal connections get you the gig.

But in the before times, no one had social media. Nowadays everyone has it and is almost a necessity for a musician to get their voice and music out there. You're losing out if you don't have a "portfolio" through your socmed accounts.

Oh the planet will survive. It's us and everything we love that won't.
