U.S. troops killed tens of thousands of Filipinos, including women and children, during the Philippine American War. The recent Laude brutal murder is but the latest of the atrocities perpetuated by American military bullies against their former colonial slaves. Ironically, or should we say understandably,  Philippine government officials always FAIL to take a STRONG POSITION against foreign CRIMINALS and instead bow meekly to such issues as CUSTODY. CRIMINALS without bail SHOULD be detained in PHILIPPINE JAILS and not be given SPECIAL TREATMENT as to the choice of detention places (hospital, embassy, mother ship, etc.). JUNKING the VFA (Visiting Forces Agreement) is just the first step to remedy the GROSSLY UNFAIR system of FAVORITISM towards foreign criminals, specifically U.S. military forces.  Editorial cartoon shows the U.S. policy of killing Filipinos ten years old and above during the pacification campaign that resulted in tens of thousands of Filipinos, countless women and children included, being killed. “Kill every one over ten” was a major battle cry of the then still fledgling IMPERIALIST nation.       http://wp.me/p3QDQJ-KU  https://www.facebook.com/balitang.balita.ngayon      http://wp.me/p3QDQJ-KO  http://wp.me/p3QDQJ-KR

U.S. Marine brutal murderer still in ship arrest. Philippine officials soft on foreign criminals on the matter of custody. Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) should be JUNKED to close this legal infirmity.

U.S. Marine involved in brutal murder of Filipino transgender woman    Here we go again. When will we ever learn that foreign troops always come with abusive behavior, rowdy crowds, drunken escapades, sexy shows and the inevitable rise in prostitution. Let us all hope that justice is served in this case as our former colonial masters always get away with murder and rape.
