I do not condone Smith, but I also do not think this Judge is doing anyone any favors by disregarding a signed document between two government entities that clearly states the U.S. desire to have custody until a court date is assigned. Again lawlessness is the way to fix things in the P.I. and as long as it does the P.I will remain a third world country that it is.

The joke in thePacific!!! Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and Thiland continue to grow economically while the P.I. is still stuck in the mud with its graph and corrupt politicians making promises they are unable to enforce. This Smith should pay for his crimes if convicted but one Judge has no right or authority to disregard an official document signed by two countries because he then becomes the problem I.E. a dictator is a dictator is a dictator.

Its a shame for the Filipinos who have to work as cheap labor around the world because no company will take a risk of setting up shop in a country that is unable to abide by its own laws and makes them up as you go...
