developing story. still ridiculous how many filipino people just rejoice and accept this governmental move without being critical smh. it'd probably take for a mass murder of someone in to their family before these people begin rethinking their "harmless" political stance. otherwise, they'd proceed turning the other cheek to atrocities, as long as it benefits them and doesn't affect them negatively.
