Drug free in the Philippines

[senseless]

He just kill all people who are involved in drug. You don't solve problems just to murder all who don't fit you ideally country in his eyes. A country without drugs don't exist it will always be part of the world.

He kill a drug user because he know that drug is always involved in 70% crime case in the Philippines. It's better to kill a person who didn't stop from using drugs. I think drugs do criminal things using human.

I didn't get what you're trying to say. "He kill a drug user because he know that drug is always involved in 70% crime case in the Philippines. It's better to kill a person who didn't stop from using drugs. I think drugs do criminal things using human." To redundant.

You are correct, that there are really no drug free countries. But to generalize that He's the one behind all of the killings well I guess that's wrong. What is happening into our country is that, this kingpins are trying to cut loose ends. To prevent further damage in their group. But the thing is this people brings the name of our President. I'm not pro duterte or something but the campaign is very well needed by our current status, and to admit I feel a lot safer now in our community. Despite that I live in aprivate village.

Ya? Was it also a kingpin who killed Jee Ick Joo?

Despite the fact that he seems to fail with his promise of eliminating drugs for the six months period, I am still proud that I have voted for him.  It is such hard to remobe drugs in a country where drug problem is really big.  It started long before and balooned when administrations before were just treat it as a minor problem.  We feel the difference when Pres. Duterte was elected as the president.  I feel safer now compared before.

It is understandable. The previous government was hesitant in taking action against the major drug kingpins. I am not claiming that the politicians were directly linked to the drugs mafia, but at least some of the lower-rung leaders were on their payroll. And the political parties were receiving a lot of donations from these criminals. Now the situation seems to have changed.

Can the president of the Philippines can do it. Well I like what his doing in his campaign. It is very amazing program and very work program in the country. Many were discipline now because of him.

Im also live in the Philippines and infact Im a fan of President Duterte. I like his campaign about "the drug free in the Philippines" . Im just hoping that he become successful to this campaign, so that we Filipinos can live without worrying and also to secure all the the Filipino citizen especially the Youth to the  effect of drugs.

Actually I can go home at night right now without worrying.  Do not have any thoughts about becoming the next victim of drug addicts or any person with evil minds.  I actually support him and voted for him because it is time that this country needs a leader with balls.  I like the way he treated the enemies and stand to it.  He seems like a father, strict but you would feel his love towards his people.  Those who are opposing the president do not want this country to progress.

President of the Philippines is doing greatly especially fighting drugs in the country. Due to this program of the President a lot of Filipinos surrendered and happily they've been changed even a little bit but this little change will make them great. On the other hand, because of this fight against drug there's a lot of people died because they don't want changes in their life. President is doing this to ensure the safety of the Filipinos. With this action it makes the Philippines becoming a progressive country.

So far, the campaign is giving good results, although I am not happy with the death count. During the last four and half months, almost 5,500 people have lost their lives, including more than 50 cops. Out of this number, more than 2,000 were killed by the vigilante squads.

[saffira]

I think it is really impossible. It may be lessen but not totally drug free.
Killing drug users is not a solution.

[Lancetheyiffer]

I think all should work together to get rid off illegal drugs, cause one man cannot change a nation all by himself.
             If this could ever happened and people stop exploiting each other.....yeah Philippines can be drug free

[Sithara007]

The kidnapping and murder of Jee Ick-Joo was a shameful chapter in the history of the Philippine police. He was not in any way associated with the drugs trade, and still the policemen abducted him and then murdered him even after the ransom payment was made.

Does violence as a solution ever really work?  In the short term, perhaps it will lessen drug trafficking.  But the cartels will adapt to the new environment.  The risk of selling drugs will increase and so will the price.  The cartel will need to become militarized and start buying off the cops.  Perhaps the next Escobar will pop up and play chess with the government while the pawns continue to die.

Yes. What happened in Mexico can happen in the Philippines as well, especially if the cops are corrupt. And I assume that they are corrupt, after studying the abduction and murder of that South Korean businessman (Jee Ick-Joo).

[Keeping Up]

YES!!!!
he will and he must...
because if he will not be able to do it...
i dont think any incoming president can....

I salute Mr. President for what his doing to our country his campaign about drugs are really good. Here in our village i can say that drug is free because all addicts are caught and they are in jail. I think they learned now that drug are not good.

It was Colombia that Escobar was running.  Assuming that was a typo.

So the top two recreational drugs in the Philippines are cannabis and methamphetamine.  Depending on the user, I can see meth being a problem since it is addictive and can bring out aggression.  Cannabis isn't really an issue to me.  The country just hasn't chosen wisely in selecting which substances to use recreationally.

Police corruption will come.  I'd also assume that there's already a decent amount of corruption as well though.  If not enough, then the price tag will go up until they bite.  They're just regular people trying to make a buck too.

Shabu(methamphetamine) its what they called in the Philippines. You will only read a few news regarding weed or cannabis. Shabu is the number 1 enemy of the Philippines and should be destroyed. The President is really giving it all to stop but I think it will take a lot of cooperation from different agencies and the people as well. Corruption will be not totally eliminated as well, because we all know that drug lords will bribe any police that will caught them. But so far, there are just few rotten eggs in the police and the PNP are really cleaning up its ranks.

True, what happened in Mexico can happened in the Philippines that is why the President are hell bent because he don't want our country to turn out that way. That's why majority has still supporting his war on drugs.

I am one of those who believe that President Duterte is the only and the right man for the job to eliminate drugs in our country.

President of the Philippines is also good. He does already a lot and he do what he says, but some people are dying even if they don't have a sin, they are affected to those who are really have a sin. Maybe because they are near to those who has a sin and has a problem in our country, but maybe next time they should be more careful and not going to hurt those who are not using drugs. 

[LeeMinHoa]

Philippines is not totally drug free as of now there are still drug syndicate operating. According to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in the end of term of President Rodrigo Duterte it's possible to get rid of illegally drugs. In increase of death in anti-drug operation it will scare many involved in illigal drugs.

[Cult]

Shitty country with a shitty president and even shittier rules.

When the value of life goes so low, everyone suffers, and many families will be destroyed.

Our president is really doing his best to fulfill his promise to make our country drug-free. But, I think it's not an easy task because drug syndicates are handled by big men which is most likely from big countries too. They move very synchronized and organized, which is I think impossible to stop. He maybe able to lessen the drug users or drug lords in our country. But to completely make it drug-free is pretty hard to achieve.
