A Filipina co-worker of mine mentioned this story today at work. She was watching the news from Manila on one of the satelite channels offered here in the us for Filipino families. She was at a party when the story was aired. She says the group she was with (all Filipino) agreed that if that had happened in the USA the police would have been actively involved in stopping the man from stabbing the boy, as in killing his drugged out @$$ before he killed the boy. She said the Manila cops just stood there surrounding the man and boy.

Her husband (he's Filipino) said that was exactly why he has not taken their children (ages 7 and 5) back to the Phils. He is afraid for their safety.

These are not my opinions, just sharing what she said.
