There are worse people than Andal Ampatuan Jr and they are among us

Convicted killers and rapists released: Just another one of those Pinoy corruption things

September 5, 2019 benign0 11 Comments

Why are Filipinos so shocked about prisoners with connections getting a get-out-of-jail pass? That’s just stock-standard garden-variety Filipino way-of-doing-things at work there. According to an “intel report” quoted by Senate President Tito Sotto, “buying of good conduct points inside the New Bilibid Prison exists.” Sotto’s intel revealed Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) officials receive millions in…
