Here are some of my notes on Rodrigo Duterte from 2019. You can see in the first bullet point that I mention he had no fear of prosecution.
It's so hard to get justice in this broken world.
I hope his arrest is a sign of things to come.

333 years of Spanish rule hampered the Philippine progress, the effects of which can still be felt today (seen in current lack of reproductive health and sex ed, no divorce law, no gay marriage and among others deemed progress.)

The Philippines has very good activism (not just for queer rights) but I think that Catholicism is a huge impediment.
