As of 2016, Oct. 1, 2016, there have been 545 killings in Chicago. In the Philippines, there are 3,000. That\u2019s for the whole country,\u201d Gordon said.<\/p>\n<p>He lamented that the UN and foreign media seemed to be mum on these deaths in the US and other countries and only scrutinize those in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne killing is bad but nagmamagaling ang puti (the whites are patronizing). Let him without sin cast the first stone,\u201d he added. \u201cWhy is UN not questioning the US for the Chicago killings?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gordon insisted that the rule of law is still present in the Philippines as the Senate continues to investigate on the killings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rule of law is still amongst us. The problem is the rule of law will only happen kung may testigo (if someone will testify),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u2014Senator Richard \u201cDick\u201d Gordon on Monday slammed the United Nations (UN) and foreign media for highlighting unresolved deaths in the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":81733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,1145,16,95],"tags":[12378,6384,1746],"class_list":["post-81730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-headline","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-dick-gordon","tag-media","tag-united-nations","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
