Topic: What do you think to the president of the Philippines? - page 6. (Read 9102 times)

Drug Trade in the Philippines has a long history, it has deep rooted within every sector of society. It has influenced the government, justice sector, civil society and non-government organizations. Given this situation it is hard to kill drug trade within six months for it has already existed for how many decades. Six months even 6 years is short to kill the last breath of drug trafficking. But of all the president, DUterte has greatly lessened drug addicts and pushers. I can feel the effect in our place, it is much safer to walk on streets even at night, my neighbors who are addicts no longer takes this substance and our village is now more safer.

The problem with such a solution is that the drug lords will easily bribe the penal colony employees and will be able to live comfortably. Some of them may even manage to escape from the detention. Corruption is a big problem in Asia, and Philippines is no exception. Also, the expenses needed to keep them in the penal colony may be more than the revenues which could be generated from their labor.

Well he has taken the matter into his own hands, since if you arrest them, they can still operate from within the barrs but if they're dead, they can't do that much, maybe haunt them.

Well I think he might get a little carried away with all that cleaning I mean, in some way it's... good to cleanse thew country of drug dealers but I believe that putting the mto hard labour for a a couple of tens of years would be pretty good too, work them night and day untill they collapse...

Maybe Duetre need to focus more on the government people that are in power than the poor people that are drug users. He need to cut off the snakes head otherwise shabu will just come back when he is gone.

"Wrong information always shown by the media"

"Negative images is the main criteria"

See how foreign people looks at the on going war on drugs here in our country. They are only looking for what is established in the internet. All deaths are linked directly on the administration's war on drugs eventhough it's not. If that is the case, why in 6 months still majority of people here are not calling for a mass rally for our President to step down.

This war on drug is far from being succesful because of other people that wants power. Those greed people are using the current war on drugs as basis for establishing the impeachment of our President. Random killings and who will blame here? The president of course. Drugs problem here is really up to the point that it was endless and horrible prior to Duterte administration but only him put some focus because some previous administrations that has passed is really a bullshit.

For those who have negative images about the on going war on drugs, My God don't believe in what you read in internet. Media here is so biased. I didn't vote for Duterte last election due to some reasons that I don't like him but he is really doing good in the country. We are seeing the changes. In the past, I can buy shabu easily but now it's really hard and no one sells it now. If only those greed persons in the government will cooperate in the on going war on drugs the output is good.

P.S Shout out for UN Human Rights that focusing too much in our country but didn't paying attention in the killings of other country which is more worse than ours.

Who knows what did your parents and wife in his youth? Maybe better not to know? The President of the Philippines is a murderer and a very bad end their lives. The way he speaks about the President of the greatest country in the world says that he is a bastard.

He is very bold. I knew it the moment he called Barack Obama "son of a whore". Everyone knows that Obama's mother was a sex-worker (her nude photos are available in the internet). But till now, no one had the courage to say that in the open. I just hope that his war against drugs becomes successful, although I am not OK with all those deaths.

It's been 6 months since he got elected by 17 million voters. I can say that you can see the effectiveness of his platforms. There are pros and cons of his actions. I understand why his war on drugs is implemented in a hard way. What I don't understand is the doings of the people under him who do the actions he wants to be implemented. I understand that drugs has a numerous negative effect in the community but he should also ensure that law is reinforce fairly. Also the way he talk sometimes is unexcusable. He should be more careful on his words since the whole country or the whole world is watching. Even if you are the highest leader of the country you ahould be considerate and more careful on the words that will come out in your mouth and the decisions and actions you will do. Better if he will not let his temper be his guide.

President of the Philippines is very bold. Start the fight against drugs - it is the right move. His policies are aimed at trying to make their country prosperous

I dont know if the war on drugs is connected to the sudden decrease of Chinese in our city cos mostly I see are Syrians and Koreans.

i don't think they are claiming that Davao is the safest city in the Philippines much exaggerated to hear if you would say that it is one of the safest city in the world . it can't be safe if the re still a crime activity inside the city maybe they are saying if would live in Davao city you can feel safe and comfortable .

Even you don't ask about it, I know that you know it in yourself how our president doing his job to annihilate those drug lords and drug users in our country. 3 months have passed and he already solved 80% of this problem compare to those past administration that didn't do anything about our country after all. They've just keep on stealing the citizens money and put it on their pocket. They never care about us in the first place because they only cared for our money. President Duterte is way more better than them. He is the man of his words than to the other president. He's the last hope of our mother country.

yeah thank you.

I check the facts I'm a local here in the Philippines. We know better than than any stats I'm from Davao.
We are wining the war on drugs, we are killing criminals we don't need them to stand trial, just kill them. Thats just it and make it appear like they are fighting back.  This is how to scare these criminals but of course this is what critics wants to hear.

You are wrong. Check your source. Try to read and understand english.

Pro-Tip nr.1: look up in a dictionary what perceived criminality means

Pro-tip nr.2: check the national criminal statistics for davao (from the PNP)

Pro-tip nr.3: thank me for educating you

Well he ask again the Filipino people now of an extension of six months but its really okay for me because at least we can really see some changes even if he is in the position for a few months. I also think that media are biased becaused they are so focused on every wrong move of the president and then make the issue bigger and then if there are good things the president did, they just don't mind it or sometimes include it in their news but later on they will focus again on controversial issues. I think this is one of the reasons why the country is very slow in progressing because if one person did something good, there are so many people who will criticized him for the things he had done badly and then stick to that issue until such time when people will think negatively of that person even if there are more good things he had done for the good of many. I think the people should dwell more on the positive than on negative.

Davao is so huge i think its one of the biggest city in the world compare to manila, so one can't be sure there is no crimes. but surely foreigners just casually walks there from Indians, swedish and the rest.

this is one of the news http://globalnation.inquirer.net/125132/davao-city-improves-to-5th-in-ranking-of-worlds-safest-cities
like they said its just one of the safest. NOT the very safe place. manila is nowhere in the list.

I think they are not the safiest its more safe is manila done davao.. if we compare the davao and manila more people are living in manila thats why many  bad things happening in manila unlike in davao.. we can not say that davao is the safiest . i dont believe that that region is the safiest maybe they have no records how about the none city and baryo places.. i think they are not recording it.

nice! if the"safest" to you means doesn't have crimes, then  i guess you're joking. crimes are  always there.  

the story in the bible even says there were treason in the heaven. they say people can't think of bad things in heaven but treason?  

Don't make me laugh. Are you claiming that Davao is one of the safest cities in the world? Check this:
