Duterte's promise to get rid of drugs 29 days left

[ruslangitelman223]

Duterte promise to the solve illegal drugs activity in 3-6 months. Can he fullfill his promise? Can he do it in this short period of time. I hope he will be successful at the end of the day. Life must go on. So live our life to the fullest. Its Philippines time so we can work together to change the Philippines for the better country.

It is difficult to say, will turn out for him or no to decide this problem. At least for that he tries to do it, people must be to him thankful. Time will show, whether he will obtain a result or no.

He has already achieved 99.99% of what he wanted. What more do you want him to do? All the drug kingpins are either killed, jailed, or outside the country. The drug peddlers are either dead or in prison. The millions of drug users have checked themselves in to drug rehab centers. It was a superhuman effort from Duterte. No one else could have achieved this much.

Duterte promise that drugs will be rid in three months. But this not happened because of many people are using drugs. But like what he said many people had been catch with drugs will be jailed or killed. Some drug users surrender themselves in the police so they can get treatment. And I think this is already a good sign of change is coming in the Philippines. Even he didn't meet the three months of drug free, he already did a good job for the Philippines.

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.

I think his current brutal strategy is fine. Those druglord are hardened criminals. There's no talking to them. If you send them to prison, they can still operate and corrupt everyone in jail with money including officials. Every minute they are alive means corruption and people in danger with the use of prohibited drugs.

The problem is why Philippines is not improving is because the people are not cooperating,
A lot of critiques and bashers are so pessimistic it's actually annoying.
The present government and president are trying their best to solve this country's problem, but a lot of people is so negative they don't even contribute that much to the society.
I support the advocacy of this present government but I'm not a fanatic of him either.
However, I see people bashing on him and only look at this failures - these people are cancers to the society.

It is not wrong to promise something you want to achieve, if in reality it is not met the important thing is you have given your best. A man like President Duterte does what he have to do and trying to make our country a better place for Filipinos.

Duterte seems to be a genuine guy, who is honest about his intentions. As someone who lives far away from the Philippines, I have a great deal of respect for him. And he is the most famous Filipino whom I have heard about. A drug free Philippines is great news, even for people who live outside that country.

[mevmike]

even before his deadline ended i was already thinking that he cannot totally end the drug problems in the philippines..
3 to 6 months is a very short time, but despite of these i still support him...
He may not have totally ended the drug problem, but as of now we can see a huge difference it the problem as we compare it to the past administrations...

I think the possibility that he will succeed in eradicating illegal drugs, he is a president who is quite firm and disciplined, but for the program he created to be successful of course the entire apparatus and the community must also support and participate according to their respective portions so that the president duterte program can succeed In doing.

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.

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.

Acting like all previous dictators?! You're so funny. And how did you come up with that predicament? Give me sources, facts, and numbers that is SOLID PROOF he is at par with Hitler, Napoleon and Mao when it comes to killing criminals, yes, criminals who are an evil menace. Another rant from some social justice warrior cannot erase the fact that he is doing something for the disciplined and law-abiding citizen who is not in drugs and crime.

Comparing Duterte with Hitler can serve two purposes. The first one may be to tarnish Duterte's reputation. The second intention may be to justify the crimes committed by Hitler against the Slavs, Jews and the Roma. Anyway, let's leave all that. I have heard that the vast majority of the deaths occurred during shootouts. If the drug kingpins refuse to surrender and fire at the policemen, then what the cops are supposed to do?

[VitKoyn]

Its hard to say that he can meet his promise on that day but he's doing a very good job on fighting drug lord and criminals. Drug war is not an easy war this war needs cooperation starting from small community to every government officials must be clean especially to this idiots from bureau of customs

[Kotone]

Well it's really hard to get rid off the drugs since the last administration support the illegal trades they import it from different  country which is they making money from it now that duterte administration we can't really assured that drugs will get rid even though many years will past there will be a dick head who will try to import drugs from our country but it can be minimize. Atleast the crime are lesser now not the old days.

[ndcm]

Until this day, we are still dealing with drugs problem.
It only shows that he didn't fulfill his priomise to solve the drug issues in 3 to 6 months.
Anyway, the timeline isn't important anymore, as long as we have a goal to eliminate the drug activities
But the war on drugs is getting worst, killing criminals without due process isn't good
Extra-judicial killing is very immoral, there should be a proper investigation not only by killing with one shot
And many innocents were killed!

Yes.. in the future, if Duterte is overthrown in a military coup (I don't think that the opposition is going to win elections anytime in the near future), then what you had posted can happen. But it depends on the people. Look at Turkey. Many months back, there was an attempted coup to overthrow the president. But it failed, because the people came out in the street, against the coup.

[joelou]

Yes duterte hates drug he promise he will stop drugs here.but the war on drugs is getting worst because some of victims is inocent like teens.
We need a proper investigation before giving a search warrant on the criminals.

[Stephgmnl]

It doesnt matter how many months will take for him to get rid of drugs he is doing his best to fight drugs but there are people who are trying to bring him down,  citizens of our country who doesnt cooperate and blame it all into our president,  The problems that cause by previous administration cannot be solve in just one snap,  so rather than questioning him and criticizing our president lets ask ourselves what can we do to help him make 🇵🇭 a better country for our future generation.

In every war, there are always casualties, the US war on terror has brought about a lot of casualties but no one is currently talking about them because the USA are the perpetrators in that matter. Duterte is doing a very good job for his country and he should go ahead.

[Mertalot]

I actually support your President! Democracy has never done good for the people. Especially in situations like this one in Phillipines calling for urgent actions

[23john23]

A promise is a promise. Yes, he did everything he could and yet it gets worst. In my opinion, war on drug is like a star from afar, you can get rid of it but it takes time. 3-6 months is not enough. The problem with President Duterte is he impulsively, confidently told us that he can do it. It's like fighting Pablo Escobar, he's one of the greatest drug dealer of all time, only one man with subordinates, and yet the president of Columbia wasted his term for that. Also, the method of what he is doing is unethical, no matter how good it might become, it's unethical. Like conducting an experiment using a human. Life will always be a life no matter how dark it is. Yes, they are liable for criminal responsibilities but always remember—they have the rights to be a human. They can't even kill a convicted drug lord and yet they can put a bullet on a commoner's head. They can't even catch the smuggler. And also, he will fight corruption? but the way he does things, it's abusing his power.
