German national shot outside gie gies

You're right. I used to think that these cases were never resolved. I was wrong and have adjusted my opinion on the topic. Also, just because the police and courts didn't find the murderer doesn't mean that justice wasn't carried out by and for the families. You can find plenty of things I have said in my 10k+ posts here that I no longer agree with. But I guess "you got me".

Again, 2 months is generally not enough time to conduct an investigation, make arrests and complete a court case. It doesn't happen that fast in the West and it certainly isn't going to happen in the Philippines that fast. Your expectations for the timeframe of justice being served is a bit ridiculous.

Also, careful with those negative ratings. They are not there as a disagree option. I will remove your ability to use them if you continue to abuse the feature. I suggest you Google the words abhorrent and trolling and find out what those words actually mean.

And it is understandable, given the criminal defamation laws in the Philippines, that they wouldn't speculate too much on crimes. When you can be thrown in prison for 2 years it is better to only stick with the facts.

I have buried nothing.

False accusations + improper use of post ratings. Goodbye, for awhile.

 

Are you German? If not, what is your excuse for diarrhea of the mouth?

 

They have been happening ever since I moved to Dumaguete almost 10 years ago. The shootings have increased...but so have the number of expats. When more opportunities present themselves and/or more Filipino-Expat interactions take place the more people will act on those opportunities, more thin skin will be damaged and/or conflicts in property/business dealings will take place.

When you move to an area where your financial situation is much better (or at least perceived to be much better) than the locals, along with major cultural differences, you are going to have these types of altercations. It is just human nature. Desperate people will resort to desperate measures. You must be aware of your surroundings at all times and take the proper precautions to protect yourself. Don't let that "city of gentle people" or "Filipinos are good people" nonsense fool you. There are sh*t human beings in every country and culture, the Philippines being no exception. Don't become complacent, everyone is a potential criminal that could end your life. (At least that's how I go about my daily life. Everyone I don't know, and many that I do, along with their actions are looked at with a reasonable amount of suspicion.)
