The Pulitzer Prize

I just found out that a high-school classmate I haven't spoken to in many years is going to win a Pulitzer Prize (so I guess I won't be the first person from my school to do that) for writing a series of stories for Reuters about the drug war in Philippines. The country my paternal grandparents came from. The country that I don't know much about. Except these stories, which I had been following, for the last few months.

• Special Report: Police describe kill rewards, staged crime scenes in Duterte's drug war

• Special Report: Philippine police use hospitals to hide drug killings

• Special Report: Manila police tell one story of a drug killing. Videos tell another

• Special Report: How a secretive police squad racked up kills in Duterte's drug war

Also, according to the story on her she now lives on a boat in Asia. Dang. You're doing incredible Clare.
