Back in the 70s when my ship was home ported in Subic Bay when not operating in the South China Sea, I remember a Philippino who got life in prison for running drugs. He pleaded with the judge that he couldn't spend his life in prison because he had a family. The judge said fine and hand him hung. The media is trying to judge Duterte based on our standards, not those of the Philippines - a common U.S. mistake.
