Hi Lanny

In the Philippines they smoke pills, called Yaba, or Yabu or Shabu

Its basically meth.

All the other usual suspects are still present ( heroin etc) but it seems like from what I've read they've really taken a liking to smoking these little meth pills.


Thank you my friend...I am still searching for the best beach in the world and I have the Philippines on my list like El Nido, Palawan and Samai, Davao among others.

I would still feel cool traveling there because I don't think I am the demographic of the people getting caught up in the mix, but that is scary stuff for sure....don't like the lack of due process.


I would probably feel safer in Thailand right now, as an American. Although Philippines has probably the most beautiful beach islands it is just not a great time to go there now.

When it comes to just the beach, I think Boracay is better than all those you mentioned.

It's way overcrowded now though.

I already see it happening.

Why did these people elect this guy? He is a freaking maniac.

Mark my words now: When the next election comes there will be some sort of catastrophe or reason why elections will need to be suspended so he can maintain his grip on power

This is not a " one and done" type of guy.

Maybe they can make overcrowding a shoot able offense? Problem solved.

Yes it is. As I mentioned in another thread, the PRC is pursuing an expansionist policy with their military. There's turmoil mounting in the region.
