The next day, the anti-communist task force said it felt “betrayed” and “hoodwinked”.

That’s ironic projection after literally blindfolding these women.

The United States is a key defence partner of the Philippines and recently concluded two weeks of joint military drills with the country’s armed forces.

Not surprising. I wonder if Philippines gets School of the Americas style education too, would explain where they learned to kidnap young women activists and force them to lie under threat of death as an anti-Communist tactic.

These women are badass though.
