Drug free in the Philippines

[CuteBaby123]

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.

I believe he can do it. If you guys will help each other in making your country a peaceful and drug free one, then everything is possible. Afterall, people in your country shall unite and be responsible. Keep on supporting your government.

We can't say that Philippines is a drug free country. Even though there is exert effort on how to illiminate drugs, if there is still aupplier and users of drugs, we cannot illiminate it. It depends on how people behave on using it. It must have high penalty so that they avoid using drugs such as death penalty.

The drug-free Philippines is just a daydream. The problem the govt imho should try to solve is the root cause of such a problem which is poverty.
It is the lazy bodies in the streets with no work that is usually the market for drugs. With nothing to do, they escape reality through drugs.
Put people to work and let them live a decent life. This is easier said than done. Govt is taking the easy path on taking it head on through police operations but in the end, it is still all about economics.
It is demand for drugs that should be eradicated through poverty reduction programs alongside strict enforcement of the law. Should not be all around killing but also in rehabilitating people.

Still, I applaud the govt for their gains and hopefully it can be transitioned to more meaningful gains around poverty reduction.

That's not possible. Filipinos are not united and probably won't be happening. Drug problem all over the world is still unsolve until now, including the countries who can finance and impose its law properly.

If you look at it right now, isn't it a desperation that Duterte keeps on moving the authority on drugs between PDEA and PNP and vice versa? I am thinking that it is a sign that there is no proper plan or probably none at all to solve this drug problem.

We can't say but I believe in the ability of our President that he's trying to fix this problem!

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in Manila opened the Summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN Summit). In his speech, Dutertte wanted an ASEAN-free drug race before the deadly drug kills many people.
"We must be firm in realizing the dream of Southeast Asia free of illegal drugs," said Duterte in front of ASEAN heads of state who attended in Manila, including President of Indonesia Joko Widodo

To be a 100% drug free would be hard to achieve. But a single drug pusher taken out solves at least some of the causes of crime related incidents. Many lives will be spared because this single drug pusher caters to many of these addicted users. I think the Presidents efforts have paid off. He had eradicated most of the big time drug dealers and now drugs are not so rampant and they are hiding in fear.

I have to admit that every time I went to the office at 12 am. I find very scary walking on the street waiting for a cab before DUTERTE became a president.  Yet now I fear not the drug addicts anymore but the police that was roaming around sometimes and would look at me like as if I may be one of them.

if you look like a drug dependent, it may as well be true  if you have been with drugs before and had mingled with friends who do up to now, you really will have to look behind your shoulder every time you freely walk because you know you are about to be tokhanged. someone from the past listed your name lol. if one day we ever noticed you aren't around here anymore, i would think you already are tokhanged.

It will be very difficult to completely eradicate the drug trade. The reason is that as long as the demand is there, the drug peddlers will continue to bring drugs to the country. With drugs such as methamphetamine getting increasingly hard to get, the prices have increased by manifold. And a lot of people will be attracted by the huge amount of money, which can be made by selling drugs.

Philippines can be drug free even without president Duterte. Only if people will cooperate with the law and stop selling drugs.
Stop using it. They should make the punishment heavier for those who don't follow.

the u.s.a is fighting against drugs for years...and lost it.....followings newspaper...the situation became even more worse.......so when it comes to the drug free philippines... i don't think the dream will come true.. even if i trys to kill them all....he will never win this war....

[alibaba2756]

He can. Together with his countrymen.
A good leader has good followers. It is better that everyone on the country has the same goal to achieve it. Easier to resolve and faster.
He also knows what is good for his country and for the good of his citizens.

Duterte made Philippines prisons crowed.

[Pengemistua]

I'm sure Duterte will be able to expel the Philippines from drugs. However, I think it will come with the price of a lot of bloodshed. Too many indiscriminate killing happens no thanks to corrupt police who use free government to kill political rivals and such.

Finally a brave leader who decides to go against the worst menace in our society which is drugs. Though i am not in favor of how they deal with the problem, it is a good start but to say that we are free from drugs, i dont think so.

Being a "Drug Free" country cant be achieved if Big time drug lords are still there. But comparing to other presidents, i can say that Pres. Duterte controlled the use of drug in our country better.
