Philippines - Bongbong Marcos is going to be the new President?

Friend of mine just had her doctor assassinated over there.

I assume you mean, your friend’s doctor was assassinated, by a person or persons unknown, rather than that your friend arranged for the assassination? Though, truly, that would make an even more intriguing story.

While there are about a half dozen of us who would kill for her ^_^, we weren’t anywhere near the country.

I lived there many years ago, in the 1960s. I was pretty young, but I have a few memories, though half the time we lived on base and the other half in an area off base filled with US service families, so I’m sure I didn’t get much of the real local culture.

Opposition media opponents of Marcos were DDoSed again, and the source is discovered to be the Philippines military infrastructure, carried out by a “hacker collective” with at least tacit approval of the govt.
