Jo Leahy is laid to rest

New Guinea’s highlanders know that when someone dies their spirit lingers among the living, insistent on proper respect being paid and still capable of doing good or evil. So the spirit must be appeased with public mourning, and on a scale that’s the measure of the departed. ....

Manila's countless dead : New president Ferdinand Marcos Jr promised a more compassionate approach to the Philippines' war on drugs, but the shadow of Rodrigo Duterte remains

Before he was gunned down, Ronnie Montoya tried to build a house. Like most of the people in the Manila suburb of Tondo, he had no money. The family had a shed – a tiny foothold in the fetid labyrinth of the slums.
