Philippines to the UN: Stay out of it!
Philippine Foreign Minister Perfecto Yasay brushes off criticism about the country's war on drugs.

- We urge everyone to allow us to deal with our domestic challenges in order to achieve our national goals, without undue interference, he told the UN General Assembly on Saturday.

There is great international concern over the rising death toll in the president's war on crime. Human rights organizations say that the security forces carry out random executions, which Yasay denies.

Drugs fund terrorism...Drugs are terrorism, for that matter.

It is their country, if they need help they will ask for it.

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.

I don't get why Americans are so willing to impose our Constitution on others, but our own Government won't use it.
