Hi! Do you have a source on the number you've quoted -- the five hundred executions? I'd be really interested in reading more about them.

A couple of my friends on Facebook are Filipino and maintain that electing Duerte was a necessary evil, if not the correct decision outright, due to endemic levels of corruption. What are your thoughts on this rationale? It has always sat uncomfortably with me, but I've sort of pushed it aside, given that I don't live in the Philippines.
