We hope you have had happy, fulfilling moments with your family last holiday season. We suffered a terrifying ordeal just a few days before Christmas in what we thought would be one of the safest of places in northwestern Mindanao.

We again just suffered a terrifying ordeal. If the most innocent of not a few non-targets of the so-called drugs-war ended up tortured & murdered, a mayor who we sought $9 of help from for our next day very long travel, & doing that very hesitantly & for the first time only because the assistant of a priest who was not around insisted that we do & personally took us in this mayor's private compound, who instead ordered our outright murder (and in the succeeding hours in the night in a remote town it was later about us being accused and under suspicion of being either criminals or communist rebels in a region where a young missionary doctor was murdered for being accused as a leftist-communist).

(A new site that does not require username and password has been created to clone the one that we required our own username and password to read partly because a key staff of a very close ally of Duterte may have stolen our relevant unencrypted files from a USB drive. It's https://idisruptors.home.blog. As to our recent terrifying ordeal, the site is new and the address is https://idisruptors.home.blog/2018/04/04/post-107/)

Please don't ever send to any Filipinos, within and outside of the Philippines. The Filipino society is severely corrupt. The media and many NGOs, and many NGO workers are severely corrupt or with ideological and political agendas that can get us further endangered and finally murdered.

This mayor, in large part because his brother is a key intelligence officer of the military, is not only now with good ties to the Duterte political dynasty & their key operatives, he is plausibly benefiting from the massacre of a key drugs personality once linked to him because he is now under the very fold of Duterte who is in a constant courting mode with the police and the military.

Since then, and now, it's plausible we're made somewhat of enemies of the state if to erase the traces of how this mayor victimized us and to stop us from ever telling our story to the world (but we couldn't, in truth). Moreover, they must have (upon our "release") later discovered that we're not pro-Duterte (which means "anti-Duterte" to Duterte's people, and thus fair game to all kinds of further creative & silent oppression and threats), and using that they can ever so much more constrict our choices for mobility & livelihood, that in fact we now feel and in greater fears about...
