The pity of it is this is necessary but the beauty is she has the ability to make bricks with her hands and all in blazing colors.

There's nothing about extreme sports this man does not already know.  Whether this is beautiful or maniacally insane is your call.

Duterte may need to improve his public relations skills on Twitter since his current effort does not seem to be working.

Humans love to burn effigies since they make great points and no-one gets dead.  It looks like they had a grand time with this one although for Duterte not so much.
