Why would a 95% Catholic country do that? Did some Obama advisors land there?
They have nothing but trouble with muslims there. Outright warfare, terrorism. This has gone on for years.
40+ years ago and more the “Moros” - Filipino Moslems - would periodically go berserk and slaughter Catholic Malays until they themselves were killed. Still, there were not that many of them and IIRC they were based on Mindinao rather than Luzon.
This is indeed a major red flag. My guess would be Moslem oil money bought some Filipino politician(s).
Yes, the UN and NGO’s started their package deal lined with youth lectures, contraceptives etc. They also brought a wad of USAID dollars with them. They’ve been doing it for decades - it was the Philipines turn last year.
