The dead line is symbolic signal for the population, that the administration wont cut any corners in combating drug barons. System, that completely eradicates crime is impossible, as it would deny free will to it citizens, depriving them of humanity.

So there, it is symbolic.

With that said, Dutertes policies apparantly brought long awaited results.

    Reduction in index crime: 28.57%
    July 2015 to March 2016: 134,958
    July 2016 to March 2017: 96,398
    Reduction in drug market: 26.45%

His policies have brought the success that he needs but he can't completely eradicate drugs that's highly impossible. I think he should also try alternative ways of eradicating drugs because his current strategy is very brutal.

[bryant.coleman]

To be fair, he did a lot of things to combat the drug menace. Tens of thousands of drug peddlers were arrested along with the top drug kingpins. The crime rate has come down. I don't agree with the policy of murdering the peddlers and addicts, but Duterte proved that he is courageous. He did what needs to be done.

[Kemarit]

For me his promise to get rise of drugs in our country is still not yet fulfilled although is has reduced to significant numbers. Many big time drug suppliers were either killed or imprisoned. But I believed that there is still drugs specially in the province. I think he should do his promise until the end of his terms. Philippines has already a worsening drug problem when he came into office so I doubt a lot can be done in 6 months. Although the EJK continue to haunt his administration, for me he did a better job to combat drugs as compared to previous administrations.

we need to trust our president Duterte to resolve this problem in illegal drugs that cause different crime in our country. President Duterte is the only president of the Philippines initiate stop illegal drugs on our country. He is the only president declare war on drugs. Hoping in his tern as president He resolve this illegal activities not only in drug but in all aspect of crime in our country.

I don't think a lot of people really expected any of that to become true within that short time. the thing he has a vision and the guts to implement that vision no matter what many think about him. duterte's been under fire from many human rights groups be it local or international and if that would be a lesser leader, he'd succumb to it. but the guy's tough as nails and I think he's been getting a lot of respect from other countries than the previous president

Duterte promised to eliminate drug use in 6 months, Trump promised to build a wall on the Mexican border, all shockvalue promises to make yourself more likeable to the public. To be honest he could probably get rid of drug use in 6 weeks, but it would be a most ugly show to watch. If he can fulfill his promise in more time but with less violence it's always the better option, but I fear that's just not his thing.

Yes, he is very brave in the struggle for a healthy nation. Some measures are too cruel, but it will stop the spread of this dirt in at least one country.

[matuson]

He not only will free the country from drugs, but now he enters the military situation in the country. This suggests that he provoked a civil war. Now those who supported him will be the loudest to scream help we have been deceived. As is always the case with fools.

I think some political leader that against duterte administration are behind the terrorists group. They just making havoc on mindanao so that they can test duterte capacity on handling problems and find holes so that they can impeach him.

No matter how much violence he use, it is not possible to wipe-out the drug trade. There are millions of drug users there, and as long as the demand exists, supply will also be there. If violence is used, then there will be a lot of collateral damage as well.

Yeah sure. Ordering his soldiers to kill thousands of people, how brave is he yeah?

He's not courageous. He's just a dictator and nothing else.
Oh I'm not saying it's not a good way to get rid of the problem... But there is no bravery here.

He's acting like all previous dictators.
He uses his absolute power in the way he thinks is the best.
Exactly like Napoleon, Hitler, Mao, Kadhafi... And all the previous dictators.

He maybe fulfill it depending on the response of their police men in the country of the Philippines. Or even He may not complete it He can surely fulfill and resolve the illegal drugs by 80 to 90% percentage average.

I don't think it's possible but if it is then it's good but no matter how many months it will take, we can't deny that he is actually doing his job and he is doing it very well. I mean how many drug addicts and pushers did his movement has put into jail. He has done something amazing already and we can't deny that.

Duterte cannot solve the drug problem in the Philippines within that span of time. Drug problems has been already rooted deeply in the society for how many years and there are many government officials and workers that are involve in it. The drug eradication can only be realized if those people in the government can be taken out. But President Duterte has made the streets more safer, even though he cannot eradicate drug problems in 100% but he has decreased the number of users and peddlers in a large scale.

Yea, he can decrease the use in general, but mostly he'll succeed in skyrocketing the price of drugs. This will eventually make the business so lucrative that many people won't care for the dangers and there will always be someone supplying some amounts of drugs in hopes of getting rich quickly.

I do believe he can do it. He already showed the masses on how to get rid of it yet we can't deny the fact that the problem is there from the start. So, it's up to us now people if we could obey the rules and coordinate with his legacy. Duterte is real and real change has come.

[Horserg]

He also promised to get rid of corruption, but it's still very much rampant until today. I like his guts and his love for his country, but really he needs to be less impulsive than he is now. Davao may be the largest city by surface area, but it is not the Philippines. He hasn't proven yet that what he can do in his town he can do for the Philippines.
