to totally clear drugs and crime in that short amount of time is closer to impossible.. however there can be a significant change within that time period and i think that's what the president means..

I saw this man a few times on TV(International news) and honestly he reminds me on Donald Trump.
He is not average politician, his statements are very strong but it looks he was able to start some real changes in Philippines.
Still, I can't say my final judgment about him, it's still to early.
Let's see what happens in a next 1-2 years.

He already did it on Davao city his home city. I have no doubt he can replicate it on the whole country.
With the arm forces and money he can kill most of the drug lords if he has the will to do it.

The problem with drugs is...

Nobody sells drugs... drugs sell themselves

You cannot stop drugs by killing the dealers... there will always be a new person to take their place... always

The only way to stop drugs is to stop people from wanting drugs... that's the only way

I think so. it needs long time to totally stop drugs. 3 to 6 months is too short unless he used drugs in short time before, it might be possible.

I think he is a good politician, he stand in support of LGBT rights, he also supports womens rights. He happily admits to being a womanizer, makes jokes about participating in gang rapes and says Viagra changed his life, but he’s also earned the support of several prominent women’s-rights activists, who say his actions speak louder than his words. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that during his time as mayor of Davao City, Duterte codified a system that aimed to improve opportunities for women in government.He could help ease mounting regional tensions i think he can make some changes in future for philippines hope for best 

[apollofire]

I am really hopeful with his decision

[Darwin02]

I was excited to know what will happen the next 2 years I'm sure there is change will happen,even not all will change atleast there is chance to reduce the crime,

Rodrigo Duterte is just another retarded politician. He simply doesn't understand that it is impossible to ban drugs. Even in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Singapore, where there is death penalty for drug usage, various types of narcotics such as heroin and LSD are easily available. The best solution is to legalize the drugs and to regulate their trade.

I do agree to this, but people who use drugs are totally wanting drugs .i don't know what drug effecte good maybe a pain killer ,a laugher for them ,a medicine and feed on the hungry stomach . Drugs are always part of the country men .
So it maybe lessen the users and pushers in the term of Duterte but it will not be totally zero ,there and there is always users of it.the big moneys are on suppliers of it.

Once again, the problem with drugs is not the supply, its the demand...

People demand drugs... people will always demand drugs

You can cut off the supply 100 times, and someone new will always show up to supply the demand for drugs... because there is a huge demand... people will give them lots of money to supply drugs... that's how it works


If you want to keep the money out of the hands of drug dealers, gangs, etc... you have to legalize drugs... it's the only way

You legalize, regulate, and tax drugs... just like pharmaceuticals... Let the doctors sell the drugs instead of the criminals

Its an uphill battle dealing with or stopping them wanting drugs because you are dealing with addiction.Years of using Meth as the expert says shrink the brain,and minimizing the chance of recovery. Its not too late and I believe this man, former Davao mayor  Duterte, he can make a significant change, not totally but there is Change will happen. Awareness alone plus his strong message is sending others involved to surrender to authority.

As what others said, you cant stop drugs straying around. You might cut the supplier but there is a new supplier that will arise. It will never stop. The only thing that may come up with good result is to accept it and make a good move to moderate it.

This strategy was recently implemented in Portugal and Uruguay, with a great deal of success. Check these:

https://mic.com/articles/110344/14-years-after-portugal-decriminalized-all-drugs-here-s-what-s-happening#.hRlUsTE9u

In Portugal, the number of drug-users is going down, as evident from this graph:



Also, the number of Drug-induced deaths have declined from 80 to 100 per year, to around 15.

He should have promised to build a wall to keep the criminals out and That would have been more humane than killing them. Drug dealing is the result of extreme poverty that is the result of incredibly bad government.

Although I agree that legalization, regulation and decriminalization are good solutions to the illegal drugs epidemic all over he world, but only up to a point.  I think Cannabis should definitely be legalized, but not the hard drugs like meth or heroin.  Especially in a country like the Philippines where even the poor take these drugs.

I mean, how can you really regulate the hard drugs when an underground market is always there to have these drugs available?  And who will be allowed to sell the harder drugs under regulation?

For Cannabis, sure...  It's medicinal and beneficial to society, IMO.  But I think regulation and legalization of harder drugs needs further study.  The Netherlands is not like the Philippines.  

[warwar]

I don't think so  but i know he can do it   but not really in 6-8 months . But for now we could see that he is implementing lot of laws
