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.
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.

July 2015 to March 2016: 134,958
July 2016 to March 2017: 96,398
