A beautiful disaster for the Philippines

[jovs]

I believe that the president is doing his very best to stop drugs in our country and I think that the best that the citizens can do is to support him not criticise him and after all, all of this is for our own good I believe that little by little it can be achieved and it is feasible if we have a good leader whose loved the country so much like president duterte

He does. I think, he was sent by God to change the Philippines into better. Although many irrelevant people are interfering in his plans and deeds, no matter what happen I see one thing to him, that is he has a on word. No matter what he say or promise, expect that he'll do it for his name sake. Corruption, drugs, and poverty must be stopped. May the force be with him.

I am glad he is doing something to curb this problem, Drug is the cause of most deaths, including gang wars, OD, i think it befitting to kill the drug dealers before their drugs kill a whole of people.

Then what prevents you from doing it through the legal route? Countries such as Singapore executes people convicted of drug smuggling, and that is one of the reasons why drug use is very low there. Why can't Philippines implement something similar rather than shooting the random slum dweller?

What?! He was sent by GOD to change the philippines?!!! You sound like a muslim terrorist. By killing people he is only paving the way for more killing people. Soon there will be only one form of punishment for crime in the philippines, it will be death. What a terrible precedent to set for that nation.

Lol i dont think he was sent by god by a long shot. Though desperate situations i think need deperate actions. What the war on drugs showed people is that nercopolitics have grown deep in the philippine government and that people who holds high positions are also involved in drugs. It would be nive though if one or two high officials would be reprimanded. I think the president's motive is sincere that he wants to rid the country of drugs and corruption though his ways are a bit of a shock for a nation not used to strong governance

So killing people is what God wanted to the country of Philippines?    I admire Pres. Duterte's dedication to end drugs, but isn't this only an excuse to fill his hunger for blood?  People  were killed everywhere, then the same time the war on Drugs were launched, murders and vigilante killings were the content of the news almost everyday.

I really do like the way duterte want to prevent drug abuse, but in my opinion he might be doing it wrong. The action he is doing might be headed to a good future, but there is still the possibility that it ain't and the country will remain the same. Instead of killing a random stranger using drugs, I guess he should just focus on improving the country's economy or maybe finding the big bosses of drugs first to stop the problem with less killings required.

[loreykyutt05]

I think, some of people or citizens in Philippines does not know how he handles the situation. Philippine's president just like a killing machine for who will abuse, or disorienting his own rules how he handle the situations. Others see it is his bad side, but we must know what will happen if we do it.

Both the methods are wrong. Even if you remove the drug lords, new people will replace them. Or drug barons from the neighboring countries such as Thailand and Cambodia will move in to fill the gap. The best method is to find out the reason why so many people are using drugs. If it is due to a lack of awareness, then such campaigns must be launched nationwide.

The President of the Philippines is doing a wonderful job of eradicating drugs in his country. But I think killing of these drug sellers is totally unconstitutional and against the basic human right. He could at least arrest them and make a law stating that sellers and users of drugs in the country is tantamount to death. After the law is approved he can kill them all he  wants because it will be Just and Constitutional.

[noel2123]

We cannot always trust some one, what if he do some extra judicial killings. We all know what will be his way to kill drug dealers on Philippines. We know that he is a strict president, but other say, it is his way to minimized the drug dealers.

There is a chance that Duterte is doing all this to divert the public and media attention from other important issues such as poverty and the Abu Sayyaf insurgency in Mindanao. I am curious why the supreme court of the Philippines is remaining silent on this issue. What he is doing is clearly illegal, and the judges are having a responsibility to act.

They are going to return the death penalty in the Philippines. But how can you arrest a person if he refuse to be arrested instead they're firing a gun against the police. Many Filipinos believe in Duterte because of all the president he is the one who is willing to stop drugs in Philippines.

Since duterte is our president i put all my trust on him i believed that he can really fixed the country from suffering to the last adminstrator they had lot of pets who are using drugs one is delima who always deny those acuse to her even theres an good evidence to her.

If Duterte is going to reinstate the death penalty, then I am going to support him. It has been proven from the experience in many countries that the death penalty is an effective deterrent against violent crime, such as rape and murder. But it won't be very easy for him to reinstate it. The Catholic church is extremely strong in the Philippines, and they are going to oppose it.

All of us scared to death penalty. We should also scared to death, we are afraid to death penalty. We cannot escape to death, but if we have been accused, but we did not do the case against us.

Are you sure that it is the government that is killing these individuals. Though the president mentions that he will eradicate them but he also mentioned that as long as it is in accordance to the law. There are no evidence linking the deaths to the president all of this are theories and false hypothesis. Even though the Philippines have a new president the corrupt government officials and workers are still there. Aside from that many killings have happened before and the media does not give a highlight to it but only now. Im sure the media is being biased as they are controlled by the oligarchs.

There is no need for us to avoid death penalty if we are a law abiding citizen , The Death Penalty Law is literally for us because it threatened criminals not to commit a crime , But if they really going to pursue the death penalty they just have to make sure that no innocent people will be convicted.

Thailand already have the death penalty for drug traffickers. If the culprits refused to be arrested and open fire, i think its the right of the policeman to open fire and protect themselves. If he has the support if the people of the Philippines in how he deals with this, then he can surely do no wrong.

[Slow death]

"My first murder was two years ago. I was very scared because it was my first time," confesses Maria, who is now a professional murderer involved in the war that the Philippine government is fighting against drugs.

The young woman is part of a team of three women who are highly valued for getting close to the victims without raising suspicions - which would be more difficult if they were men.

Since Rodrigo Duterte was elected president and has told citizens and police to kill drug traffickers, Maria has killed five more people - all with a bullet in the head - since his "debut" in his career.

To take someone's life is a crime, regardless of the person being drugged, drug dealer, drug baron or the greatest serial killer in history, yet taking someone's life is a crime.
