On 24-31 Oct 2025, 10 died in Marcos’s drug war, 2x the count from last week. Among them, 1 HVI in Sulu & 2 victims w/ no known ties (a cop in an op & a friend of a pusher). The 2 pushers killed in Cebu keep it as the top hotspot w/ 46 killings.

I hesitated posting this, but maybe it’s time to share so it serves its original purpose: an internal accounting, to bookend this part of my life.

Not Another Drug War Essay but also, yes another drug war essay. One that does not aspire to do grand things at all.

Israel's genocide in Gaza never stopped. But UK media have enabled this latest lie
