Duterte pardons US marine jailed for killing man in female clothing Jennifer Laude

The Philippine president pardoned a US marine on Monday in a
surprise move that will free him from imprisonment for the 2014
killing of a transgender Filipino woman. Rodrigo Duterte said he
had decided to pardon L/Cpl Joseph Scott Pemberton because the
marine was not treated fairly after opponents blocked his early
release for good conduct in detention. The case had led to calls
from some in the Philippines to end the US military presence in
the country, a former US colony with which Washington has a
mutual defence treaty

I heard a US unit got a commendation for disaster relief in the
Philipines. They visitted after a typhoon and spent enough on
prostitution to keep the economy up.
