    Wow, that is incredible. I can’t believe they captured him. He could actually stand trial for his horrible crimes, and his victims could finally have justice. The first of hopefully many crazy authoritarian nuts getting what they deserve.

      Incredible is the word I’d use too.

      And it feels kind of important to watch a dictator have to face justice right now.

    Good. The anti-drug laws in the philippines are barbaric and the perpetrators need to face justice.

        Bongbong Marcos is the son of another former president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

        In 1972, Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law because of “communism” and committed a lot of human rights abuses like imprisoning and killing journalists, students, teachers, his political opponents, etc. He also plundered a lot of money. Up to this day, the Marcos family uses propaganda to disinform the people of the crimes they committed.

        So no, there’s no hope in the Marcoses. The Marcos family shoud quit politics and pay back their debt. Anyway, I hope you learned a bit more about our political situation here.
