the-artificem:

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
