The suspect being "an LGBTQ member" (????) has nothing to do with the story.
Reminds me of the use by PH media of "Muslim" to label crime suspects when the religion is irrelevant to the story. 2023 na po in a few days. 🙄
Isang miyembro ng LGBTQ community ang nilasing at pinatulog umano ng ka-meet up niyang lalaki sa isang motel sa Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. Nang magising ang biktima, wala na ang kaniyang mga gamit na aabot sa P400,000 ang halaga.

Fatal Beating by Police Roils the Philippines | Human Rights Watch

Police in the Philippines again appear responsible for the fatal beating of a man in their custody. Videos of the incident, which went viral, allegedly show Police Staff Sergeant Ronald Gamayon of the Southern Leyte provincial police beating Gilbert Ranes with his bare hands on a busy street in Maasin City.
This betrays the Philippine government's mindset about the GSP+ human rights mechanism. The government is never serious about it and has done nothing but find ways to circumvent it. So it is pointless to expect Manila to abide by its GSP+ commitments.
The burden, really, to make GSP+ work is with the EU.

The issue now is how he died. Legit encounter? Fine. Hacked/stabbed? That deserves probe and condemnation.
