    I wondered how long it would be before this came up! There has also been a lot of discussions elsewhere about this subject, it's strange when a local gets killed it's headline news and demonstrations but when a foreigner gets killed most of the time it is swept under the carpet!
    And this transgender was out in a bar when it was engaged to a German guy, I agree the soldier should be punished for the crime but all the fuss over this issue arghhh!
    Certain people have very short memories here, eg WW2, Yolanda and many other times other countries have helped out here.
    I know filipinas in the uk and we treat everyone the same with the same laws for everyone,not so here!

    Burning an American flag for this guy's alleged actions is over the top. Cutting off the nose to spite the face.

    The Status of Forces Agreement with the Philippines is pretty clear.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines–United_States_Visiting_Forces_Agreement
    The US is not going to hand over a troop when the Filipino people are on an active witch hunt. They want to ensure that their troops are given a fair trail....and given these turds are burning American flags it's quite obvious that the Marine would not get one if handed over to the Philippines.

    Philippine Foreign Minister Albert del Rosario-
    It's pretty clear what is going to happen here.

    I knew "Jennifer" (the transgender that was killed) from when I lived in Olongapo btw. She was friends with my x-wife. Seems like everyone I know in Olongapo has had some pretty bad luck over the years. I've come to not like reading the news about Olongapo.

    This is an excellent reason to focus on the US marine vs transgender issue. You can avoid the issues of this article where two Filipino soldiers die and everyone gets away. (Article if part of forum posts by administration)
    2 soldiers guarding hospital shot dead

    MANILA – Two soldiers guarding a hospital in Datu Hoffer Ampatuan, Maguindanao were killed by suspected members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) Wednesday evening.

    The two soldiers were guarding the emergency room of the Maguindanao Integrated Provincial Health Office in Barangay Limpongo when two suspected rebels posed as patients and fired shots at them, according to Lt. Col. Dickson Hermoso, spokesperson of the Philippine Army's 6th Infantry Division.

    The suspects fled the scene and took off with the soldiers' M16 and M14 rifles.

    There were soldiers manning the back portion of the hospital, but they were not able to respond to the armed attack, which occurred at around 8:30 p.m

    The Marine killing the ladyboy has a much easier topic to talk about and, in the end, resolve. Dealing with terrorism and the Muslim population in the south has no simple solution. Loss of life is always a tragedy....even more so when it is in the name of an imaginary god.

    The Philippine people will have more luck controlling the Muslims than they will the US. They know as soon as they tell the US to p*ss off China will start to lay claims to more than just some small islands out in the middle of nowhere.
