Philipines is dirt poor.

Westerners actually should have access to a gun there at all times, them locals honestly dont give a f&%k.

"Is that a gun in your pocket...

Yep, you didn't really think I was happy to see you, didyah?

at least it wasn't drugs or he'd already be fertiliser

curious what the story is here , trying to make a few bucks ? hard time paying a bribe now its too high profile and hes gonna be made an example of....more proof for the foreigners ruining the philippines mantra

And what's with the T-shirt ? Surely hand-cuffs are enough of a signal that he's a detainee ?

Philipino hood makes cambodia hood look like paradise.
