    Philippines: Keeping the Peace

    Philippines police are taking on the role of judge, jury and executioner. This is an interesting article if you can manage to view it.

    Thanks Iain,1,000,000 unlicenced weapons?Conservative estimate I guess,guns are easy to buy in pinas,you can pick them up for forty quid just outside Cebu,thats for a .32 or a .38 "Danao special" still does the job.I have friends who have a veritable arsenal at home,because as they say,you just never know who is going to come knocking One guy showed me two grenades he kept taped-up in a skyflake tin under his floorboards
    As for the police and salvage,its old news.

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    I found that interesting..(wasn't able to watch the whole vid..it wouldn't load..)

    I myself feel a bit angry that they are doing these killings..

    So called "Rub outs" it cheapens life itself...

    Filipino's are GOOD natured people...surely there is another way?

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.
