Whatever opinion you have about the 'Death Squads', there is no doubt that this little corner of Mindanao is one of the safest, because of the policy shared by Duterte, Chung Uy, and other local mayors.

Absolutely Peter I can see how that would work ,its not dissimilar to the Thai attitude if locals use any kind of force to rob foreigners they get the chop too, as it has a negative impact on investment, interestingly my Honey says the perps who are bright enough to get the message in Davao often turn up in Cebu since unfortunately these enlightened policies are not yet adopted Nation wide due to lack of resources (ammo and fuel) The local foreigners though are having a Christmas Ball to raise funds

One Pub I used to frequent once had some plebs steal a few bags, due to the Irish conections in the PUB the gentleman were found, bags with all in them and possbily some compensation if the plebs had anything on them.
The Plebs were then re trained in the ways of acting in public.

I dont think they ever limped near the place again and crime was only a subject mentioned in the pub due to some outside event after that.
This Pub also had mental lock ins most evenings where any new late stayers were reminded to behave with a quick tap on the shoulder and a few words in the ear from rather tough gentleman. Offending let alone re offending never happened strangely.

This Pub even though it had a lot of Younger drinkers and big groups of blokes out on the lash, also had familys and older people by the table full as well. As they knew that it was as safe as their own house.
