Drug free in the Philippines

[bryant.coleman]

He is in the procedure to make the country whole by trying to have an agreement with the pro-communist and Muslims to end these pointless bloody fights and also plans of development for the country if he was a bad leader why would China, Japan, and Korea help in funding & aiding in the development of the Philppines after Duterte talked to them.

I don't know whether he will be able to resolve the Muslim insurgency in Mindanao, as there are a lot of external factors in play there (such as terrorist funding from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait). But if he is able to convince the CPP–NPA–NDF in to a ceasefire, then it will be a great start. Look at Colombia. The peace agreement with the FARC has done wonders there.

Terrorism and drug campaign are two different things. Who said that he is a bad leader tho? He is actually too good and that is the reason why those corrupt politicians are too afraid of him and wanted him out of his position.

We can see that is very willing to resolve those issue but if we are going to ask the other parties then that would be a far different story.

I do believe that he just wants to fix the mess caused by previous politicians.
I like his visions, but his way of making things right isn't right.
He is regardless on his word but attentive on the plan he wants to do.
I do believe in his strength and vision looking forward for better change.

What is he so good? The fact that killing people without trial? I haven't heard that the President said that he personally killed people to show police how to do it. I hope soon this bastard will be impeached and he will answer for it.

Know what? People have grown tired of establishment politicians. That is why they are dumping establishment candidates in favor of populist candidates. Prime examples are Duterte and Trump.

And he cannot be impeached right now, as he enjoys close to 80% popular support. (Among the world leaders, I think that only Putin is more popular than him).

It is unfortunate that some people use the power and in fact commit a crime in front of thousands of people. And call it a blessing

We can achieve drug free in the Philippines by killing those people who have serious cases. President Duterte think that this is one main solution to have a drug free and to utilize our country from the criminals. One reason why our country still suffering from poverty.

Philippines will not be 100% free from the drug menace, even if you kill 90% of the population. You should treat the disease, and not the symptoms. Eradicate poverty and lack of medical care, if you want people to stay away from drugs.

To clarify, I think Duterte has some of the worst combinations of personality traits in a leader. He seems intolerant, ignorant, mean and arrogant. He seems like a terrible person to be running a country.

He is unique tho and that what people loves about him(he is intolerant,ignorant mean and arrogant to those people that he don't like eg. Those who betray their country or its people)

On the other hand, I can see why he has popularity in the country - The Philipines has a very serious drug problem, and to the average voter, Duterte's strategy of "Killing all the drug users and vendors in cold blood" seems like a good idea. After all, it's an efficient way of ridding the country of the drug problem, right?

Wrong.

Media, fuck them tho, How pretty sure are you that it was him killing his people? His words was to only kill them if they fight back and FYI those unrecorded extrajudicial killings are clearly came from the drug syndicates them selves as quote "If the person died without the presence of the police why would you blame me? -duterte" and to be clear the average extrajud killing from US and phillippines are not that far.

Pretty much all modern research suggest that severe drug problems are a symptom of societal issues. There will undoubtably be reasons why so many people in the Philipines use and sell meth, for example, the main one being that there aren't many other ways of making good money. The leaders of countries need to start tackling the underlying social issues that cause the symptoms of drug addiction, rather than just trying to kill everyone involved. To a lesser extent, the same could be said of Western countries (UK/US etc) than imprison individuals for drug possession (Yeah, they're not killing them, but they are locking them up for victimless crimes).

They are not dead because they did not fight simple. and other FYI people in the philippines acts far different than people living in the western countries.

His tactics have huge problems, one of the most obvious being that innocent people can be shot in cold blood, then framed as drug users (with no real evidence apart from a hand written sign on their corpse telling people they took drugs... yeah sounds legit  Cheesy). Another problem is that his violent massacre is taking out users as well as dealers.

How sure are you? I am from the philippines so i know it much better than you do. You also don't have any real evidence as well that there is no evidences.

I don't know if anyone in the current administration has looked into what Switzerland did to reduce heroin addiction. In my own opinion the reasons people get into drugs are peer pressure and lack of ways to resolve personal problems.

It would be really great if we have a better public mental health program. The gov't should also start pumping more money into arts and sports to give the younger ones alternative use for their time.

Please try to research his achievements this past months not just relying on your biased media for information if you claim that he is terrible running the country then there would be already riots and chaos occuring.

that's the problem with other people who only relying on what they usually hear from the media/news without realizing that the media are actually biased which only noticed the bad things and not the good things that the administration has made . well it seems that he's not from the Philippines so I'll understand why he judged the president .

hm, killing drug dealers and criminals can implement fear into peoples minds, if they know they can get killed for doing something illegal they'd be thinking twice about doing it or be stupid enough to get themselves killed in that way, tho world has no need for such people.

Right. That is why there is no crime in nations with death sentence.

The vast majority of the heroin addicts in third world nations are either in their teens, or early twenties. So lack of knowledge about the adverse side-effects from heroin may be one of the main reasons for the addiction, in addition to personal issues.

[Kousei23]

I think not. Eventhough there are many drug users and pushers that stop. There are still news all about drugs. And sometimes big news.

[crwth]

There would be dealings with big named drug lords and it would be hard to stop them. I like what his plans are. First, he eradicates the market. By arresting drug users, and distributors. When they get all of them. It would be time that there are less money to come to the pockets of the drug lords. At least he is doing something unlike the last president who even I think just acknowledged them and left them alone.

big/small drug lords are under surveilance. Some of them were already caught or dead. Like a mayor and his convoy were transporting high amounts of drugs fought back in a police road block.
1 drug lord was arrested in Abu Dhabi with the help of INTERPOL

Duterte is a good tactician, he even announced for all to surrender in his "Oplan Tokhang" and almost all who are users,dependents etc  got surprised and surrenders.Actually if you did not surrender,its nothing also.From surrendered person, they extracted info where they get,who are their sources and they corroborate this intel info in exchange,they will not be charged. A very comprehensive plan and serious about eradicating the drug proliferation problems in the country.

The most powerful and influential drug lords will never be caught. They will escape to the neighboring nations such as Thailand and Vietnam, and stay hidden there with the help of local politicians. Once Duterte is removed, they will return to Philippines and resume their business.

Do you recall how famous people from musicians to professrs inventors have consumed the drug. Even Leonardo da Vinci dabbled kakainom to his imagination was wild.
