I lived in Manila and worked with the Marcos government before , during the coup. The coup was a business transaction or transaction failure. The so called peoples revolution or Color Revolution in the streets was a USA engineered project that was conceived in May, 1985. The so called spontaneous religious uprising in one day that blocked PH troops from traveling the road to take charge of the revolting military, that was directed by then Cardinal Sin ( appropriate name ) who was paid 38 Million USD, in cash, by the Americans out of the Manila Embassy. Out come the nuns carrying candles. Check the videos of the street actions on those days. You will see Ramos with his buddies in the crowd, with big smiles on their faces and Ramos smoking a cigar in celebration.
The NPA in the Philippines was a USG project just as the ISIS is now and the Abu Sayyaf. Watch how the USG destroys one government after another to install a puppet and plunder the country.
This so called drug problem did not develop in just 3 months. Where was the Yellow Revolution for the past 6 years
For example, in each region there is the PNP command who protects and manages drug trade and that includes inside Davao City. Low rank PNP officers are ordered to take small amounts of drugs to dirty their blood. No dirt, you don't keep the job. By the fact everyone is dirty, no one will rat out, if you rat out, you also test dirty. This is a very common way of enforcement and control by drug lords.
Drug production, import and usage is still about the same. We currently are watching and video document it, in front of the NEW PNP commanders. This is just a reorganization of the trade and a gang warfare take over.
All news media sources are now owned and controlled, one large public media manipulation of public thought.
I feel safer already watching GMA news, don't you
