He said, "Son of a bitch". Even me being a Filipino that has grown up in the US since the age of 4, can understand that with my limited Tagalog skills.

The thing is, in the Philippines, criminals don't learn. They always get caught again and keep taking up resources in order to enforce them. The country can not spend so much money in fighting crime.

My cousin is of high ranking in the police department in Manila. He tells me stories of crime in the country. How students would get killed for money and criminals getting released after short periods of being detained. They simply don't have room in prison for everyone. They end up having to release some of them. The ones that keep coming back, they end up killing.

Maybe Obama should bring some business there to help the country with poverty. Where there is poverty, there is crime. Help the country, not blast them with how they should run it.

This is actually true, we have almost 700,000 users and pushers who surrendered in the 2 months since this administration began and we don't have enough space on our overcrowded prisons and not enough rehab centers to help them.

So the police is giving them free Zumba lessons in open basketball courts or areas across the country as a temporary measure and hope they don't go back to pushing or doing drugs. :(

Fun times
