    Philippines "Human Rights" budget.

    Duterte has invested heavily in the Philippines human rights budget

    Philippines awards their Human Rights Commission a whopping $20 budget for 2018
    Don't go spending that all in one place.
    Tasked with investigating the thousands of people who have been murdered since President Rodrigo Duterte began his war on drugs, the Philippines’ Commission on Human Rights now has another daunting challenge: a budget of just $20.
    The commission had initially requested $34 million for 2018 only to be awarded the massive reduction Tuesday by lawmakers, the BBC reports.
    The cut from 2017's budget of $15 million was approved by a margin of 119 to 32 in Congress.
    In total, over 3,500 people have been killed since last June in anti-drug operations.
    Calling out Duterte's many supporters in Congress, Congressman Edcel Lagman said his colleagues were "virtually imposing the death penalty on a constitutionally created and mandated independent office."
    Although the Commission is largely viewed as a critic of the president, Speaker of the House Pantaleon Alvarez suggested it suffers from corruption.
    "If you want to protect the rights of criminals, get your budget from the criminals," said Alvarez.
    The motion now moves onto the Senate, where it is also expected to pass.
    Meanwhile, the interior ministry proposed late last month to increase the police budget for anti-narcotics operations to $17.58 million, an increase of 4,400 percent.

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    He may have a point, with certain aspects of the 'human rights' movement.
