heres some random updates so you can get a grasp on whats happening here in the philippines:

• professors are urging their students to let them know if theyre not gonna come to class so theyll know that theyre still alive
• parents are telling their kids not to come home late, or if they will, to take an uber even though its priced like 5x more
• people are sharing constitutional rights on twitter, to teach everyone what to say to the popos just in case
• nobody trusts the police anymore
• police have a QUOTA of “drug addicts” they need to kill
• almost 13k dead without due process, but chines drug lords and presidents son who were involved in a drug smuggling worth 6 billion are still walking free
• all it takes is a facebook rumor to put you on the hit list
• politicians who are criticizing the administration are being impeached
• politicians who love the administration admit that their duty is to the president, NOT to the people
• theres been talks in extending the presidents term
• It literally feels like an unofficial dictatorship
• please help us

does anyone have any news sources and dates for people to be better informed??

hiya i made that post on mobile so i wasnt able to add links but here are some sources on whats been happening in the ph for the last few months:

numbers of people dead and arrested because of the war on drugs as of january 2017

17 and 19 yr olds tortured and killed by the police

presidents son involved in 6 billion drug smuggling has charges suddenly dropped

twitter thread on what to do in case the police accuses you of being a drug dealer

what to do in case the police demands to search your stuff

police suddenly shows up at bars near a university demanding to search students bags

president orders police NOT to share case files with the commission of human rights

talks about extending the presidents term until 2025 bc federalism

house of representatives votes to give commission on human rights a budget of $20 for the WHOLE YEAR

im p sure i missed a lot since something bad happens literally EVERYDAY so like feel free to add more 

Well I usually go out at around 10-11 pm, now i am afraid to. Anyone can be accused, and turn up dead. Duterte’s  supporters will never see the “wrong” things under this fucked up administration, victim blaming at it’s finest.

Our university (University of the Philippines) has also been the target of online supporters and trolls of this administration because of the our critical opposition to the said “drug on war”.

This isn’t a war on drugs. This is war against the poor. the drug dealers and smugglers have never been caught, they will never be caught. The target are the small scale users, usually those living on slum areas. Basically poor Filipinos. And don’t even start on the “collateral damage”, INNOCENT PEOPLE.

They are killing innocent people and poor Filipinos.

They are killing innocent people yet the others are still defending Duterte’s action, applauding even.

Our country is fucked up.
