Ozamis City was very corrupt at one point, with the city government essentially running the drug gangs. Most people there know someone who had been murdered by the gangs. It's why Dutuerte's extreme actions against them are actually very popular. Sauce: My ex's hometown. Her family and friends said much about it. Her BFF's sister was one killed by them. I don't know if this has to do with all of that or if the targets were the "good guys" or the "bad guys".
