Machines or not the Philippines has a very corrupt political system. They divide cities and towns into areas called barangays, and they actually have officials at that level albeit part-time with low pay but good benefits. The politicians make it rain. Some people take the bribes from both sides which is dangerous. In the most recent election my wife's relatives got around 20 bucks which is 3-4 days pay for many.
They don't use machines everywhere, probably only the big cities.
Obama had sent 33 Million via John Kerry and many claimed that was a Masonic threat. China loaned 27 Billion I think it was. A lot of the money got stolen by the politicians, but they did build schools and roads with a portion. Now they owe China bigtime.

Remember when Rodrigo Duterte seemed so based?
And then he betrayed us like so many others?
Oh? What did he do? I approved of his war on drugs as it had good effect in my wife's province. He borrowed a butt load from China though.
The first thing you said. Basically what El Salvador is doing now--actually fighting the war on drugs to WIN the war on drugs.
I forgot about the latter, though. That explains why they had him over a barrel later.
