On this Question: Why do you think the drug problem is that extreme here in the Philippines? Because past administrations didn't do anything drastically about it. It is inside the government even in our police. Those people you asked don't know anything.
Yeah, skews the interviews towards the negative side since the younger generation seems to dislike the president for some reason. I'm not really impressed with the Philippine Asian Boss team. They look like amateurs doing their high school video project compared to the other Asian Boss teams.
@UCLwEqaAYAoKD0wsS3RmTWsg There it is, an argument. That's better at least we can have a discussion. I mean if you want to have a general idea of how a nation feels about an issue, you need to have representatives of different sectors or classes. If you only pick a certain demographic, then the results of your interview will be skewed towards that side and will not reflect the whole picture. It's merely a suggestion to the Philippine team of Asian Boss if they want to be considered more credible.
@@BanLag3188 But still, if you want to have a general idea of how a nation feels about an issue, it is not enough to watch one or two interviews on youtube. That is something everyone needs to keep in mind (I dont mean you, just wanted to add up). So whether they include two or three older persons (How old?) or not, it wont be representative anyways. I think it depends more on the person who is being interviewed, how they can represent the perception of the people they know or their own knowledge. The chance that the interview will be more representative would be slightly higher, but it doesn't mean it will. ..My point is, whether an interview is representative or not, you can't tell, before you research the subject in other sources. ...Just wanted to say it because I get an impression that many people tend to think that they understand an issue just from reading a few articles, watching a pair of short interviews or talking to one person that is familliar with an issue (problem: people are biased). ...But the positive thing is, that such short interviews raise the awareness of specific issues that not everybody is familiar with. ....But yeah, questioning the degree of the representativity of a survey or interview is a necessary tool. Peace.
@@noromanx4 I get your point. This is just a youtube video by a private media entity, which has its own biases/agenda. It would most certainly help the credibility of the video by adding a few more people from different sectors (not necessarily age, could be different socioeconomic classes, etc.); That is why polls and surveys exist. The respondents of those surveys aren't exactly the most well-informed people but their numbers make up for their biases. I understand budget will be an issue when it comes to doing things like this. Sadly, people in general will most likely never follow the weekly press briefings, read news articles of several news outlets, or even listen to the president's speeches. For some, if not most, this short UA-cam video will be enough for them to draw conclusions about the state of the country, especially foreigners. Just like you, I hope people will use this video as an introduction and do more research about the topic but as I've said, it will most likely never happen.
What I can see, is that those philipino students are way smarter and educated, and especially non political correct than the west people. Its impressive
the president's war on drugs is very effective. in our hometown the drug addicts and drug pushers were surrendered already and they are in rehabilitation center right now. The President and the government give them the chance to change their lives. So, in our community right now is getting better and peaceful. Thanks for the Political will of the President Duterte.
*Where is the political will though of Duterte when it comes to convicting drug lords like his buddy Peter Lim? Or pursuing to solve the 6.4B shabu case? How come the administration prevents UN to probe killings when they think the war on drugs is effective?*
“give them the chance to change their lives” more like literally take their lives AWAY. too many innocent people were killed without the right to a fair trial. Why not rehabilitate drug addicts instead of killing them and leaving their family in shambles? Why not put their resources into helping reduce poverty so that people are less likely to end up using drugs in the first place? It baffles me that people actually think the “war on drugs” is effective. Effective for the country’s statistics, sure. “Our country is drug-free, it only cost thousands of actual human lives and broken families in the process”
@@SamsungGalaxy-sx1kr By War on Drugs, The Crime Rate is decreasing. No more bad people, No more criminals. A Drug can make you a bad person so the Philippines must have War on Drugs.
@10 OG *ANOTHER STUPID ASSUMPTION. How would you know which of the people are selling their votes?? Just because someone is beggar does not mean they will sell his vote. Right? And you are just diverting the topic because you don't have sound argument about what I have said. TROLL*
Everyone deserves a fair trial. No one should ever take it upon themselves to execute someone without proper evidence. Wrongful imprisonment would be bad enough, but if an innocent person gets executed, however, nothing could be done to compensate for the loss. As a nation who values justice, we should give people the right they deserve to exonerate or redeem themselves.
Everyone deserve to live also. When drug addicts rape, kill and massacre every stage of life from infant to old age, they never think of their human rights. These criminals just execute.
@ So you think it's justified to execute a person for using drugs? Because the way you framed that sentence makes it seem like you are against the drug users not the dealers or organized crime. Because if so that's an absolutely twisted view to have. No one deserves to get killed for having ended up in a bad place in life that led them to use drugs. They should be treated and rehabilitated. And honestly I don't see anything wrong with smoking a bit of weed, it doesn't harm anyone, so you shouldn't be punished for it and definitely not executed.
kaya nga eh!! pati bata ni rape , pinatay , tinapon na parang basura!! oo nga naiintindihan natin pero bakit walang human rights yung sa yolanda , saf 44 , rape victims ano yan pwede mo batohin ng bato ang tao na sa tamang lugar at tapos binibaby yung gumagawa ng mali?! kalokohan !! kng pwede lng ma hati ang mondo naatin iiba yung may common sense at yung walang ka sense sense!!
Totoo. Mas mabuti, na mayroong mamatay na kriminal, kesa isang bata na namatay dahil sa kriminal. Kung hindi natin sila patayin, dadami sila lalo! Di ko maiwasan isipin. Bakit hindi sinusuway ang mga bansa tulad ng America, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia? Diba mayroon silang death penalty? Bakit sa Pilipinas lang malaking issue ang death penalty?
This coverage is inaccurate. Why ask student? Why not random people? There are students who don't care about what is happening in the country. This content is lacking on so many levels. Don't you know that politics is influencing kids nowadays to destroy the Pres. Credibility?
4:45 The phrase "meron pa po yung time na parang babarilin na po sila" is wrongly translated to "there were times when authorities shot them". It's more like "there were times when it looked like they would be shot". Asian Boss is very irresponsible if not deliberately malicious.
I'm not a Filipino but being as my wife is, I've been there a few times and have seen some of the problems in the country. I really haven't come across the drug thing but have seen corruption on many other levels that Duterte is working on cleaning up, and understand it's a monumental task to try to change the mind set of those who are trying to get rich from corruption and drugs. As a foreigner I feel safer knowing that the president of this beautiful county isn't just turning a blind eye towards the problem like so many others before him, .. although I do fear that the country will relapse into the same old ways once he's no longer in power. I'm almost certain that if there was a less painful way to get the peoples attention and clean the place up he's be happy to hear it and implement it.
You have been brainwashed by your wife and lack critical thinking. Wake up, they have killied over 20,000 people without a trial, many of them being 100% innocent or even kids.
@@jameswalker6864 I'll admit a couple of years further along my views on a lot of things have changed. Corruption will always abound in the Philippines regardless of what methods are used to curtail it. No one should be executed without a fair trial and after the next election there could be a big problem for Duterte for the methods that were used to clean the country up. Also after the way the pandemic has been dealt with over there it's anyone's guess as to who will be the next President, .... or if Duterte will even just refuse to give the job up.
The people interviewed are only from Manila. If you wanted to have a broader perspective on what Filipinos think about war on drugs then you should've had representatives from people living in Visayas and Mindanao. People in Luzon always go against Duterte, so this interview is terribly one sided. Besides, war on drugs also resulted to a lot of drug addict to go into rehab. We are only starting to take action in this critical problem..so don't expect that a problem that's been happening for years will be solved right away. At least, Duterte compared to others is the only president who put importance on doing something in the drug problem of our country.
You are a 💯% correct👍👌 to me Duterte is doing an excellent job! Especially getting rid of previous corrupt administration that run drug cartels like Colombia and Mexico!
It had some good and bad effects....Crime Rate Went down, Drug activities were not that prevalent or at least it was lessen, Drug Lords from within and outside of Metro Manila were revealed including some Police but a lot of Innocent People were killed as part of the process
the war on drugs had good and bad effects, where the former outweighed the latter. Policies made by the government won't result in a black or white effect like some people thought it would. This logic also applies to every decision we or other people make.
I disagree, the west has a growing number of drug addicts and pushers and their corruption is more sophisticated than ours since what you are seeing in the Philippines now is what they did in the 80s but in a less extreme way (incarceration or accidental/racial killings). Philippines is late to the game and the west knows what it is saying. Sure we are more poor but it's not like what the west was saying is false... It's actually more expensive killing petty criminals and users THEN realizing that your own government is corrupt so you have to fire them. It wouldve been cheaper if the anti corruption schemes would've been put in place first like the west said instead of killing petty criminals and users. West is on the frontlines of the drug war for decades now..... Experience is something else.
You could've *AT LEAST* mentioned that of the 4 000 000 drug addicts that exist in the Philippines, 2 000 000 drug addicts have ALSO been ARRESTED/SURRENDERED IN TURN. That being said, of the 4 000 000 drug addicts in the Philippines, only 4200 - 20 000 have died as a result of the Drug War too. Things REALLY could've been A LOT worse for the Philippines as far as the Drug War was concerned and it's important to appreciate that.
FanFanatik So there haven't been any new addicts since the war started? None of the former addicts have relapsed? I don't think you know what you're talking about.
the second chance was already given by offering the drug addicts a chance to rehabilitate and cure their addiction to drugs. And those addicts who haven't accepted the offer simply had their lives taken in the process of the war on drugs.
The Drug War may succeed, it could fail, but for as long as it is, us, FIlipinos who made the decision democratically, not other countries, that's fine. We will learn from the experience. When we elected Duterte, we are 100% aware of his methods. In fact, we asked for them. If this shocks the Western media, we do not care. Long live the right to self-determination! OUR COUNTRY, OUR POLICIES!
@ Jan Suing LOL....drug is caused by poverty....if you don't solve poverty , there will always be drugs....Poverty is reduced if there is less corruption in the government.... What did Duterte do??.... Destroy the economy with High inflation rate...and make it harder for the poor.... War on Drugs will just be useless...
You have too much faith in the masses. Kailan ba tayo natuto sa history? Mga politikong makakapal ng mukha, mga corrupt, nakulong na't ano paulit-ulit pa ring na binoboto. May amnesia ata mga tao dito.
Asian Boss could've interviewed a larger age range. Here in the Philippines, the younger generation has a more negative view about this problem while the older generation has a more positive view, generally. I wanted to know why some has those perspectives.
Some Students hated War on Drugs because they didn't accept the defeat of late Sen. Mirriam Defensor Santiago on 2016 Phil. Presidential Election thats why every policy either good or bad has always opposed by Mirriam Defensor Santiago young supporters.
@@allanreyes6628*It is safe to assume that you just didn't have the same point of view with most of the students so you assumed that they are Miriam's supporters and they hated Duterte. Shallow reasoning*
As a Language Teacher... To be honest a lot of High School students today are more vocal than most working class adults who just wanted to do their jobs and pay the bills. There is big difference about being Objective or Subjective when approaching a certain demographic😊 President Duterte won via Landslide and still has a Good approval rate. What are chances out of a hundred that you may end up talking to either Pro or Anti War on Drugs?
Duterte is the best thing to happen to the Philippines and I hope his successors can keep it up! This world would be a better place if every county had a Duterte, Much love from New Jersey!
I know this war on drugs cannot be absolutely won unless if some sort of miracle will happen but its better that you're fighting than staying in a bed feeling hopeless about everything thinking its futile. This war on drugs is like an inflammation, a sign of immunity which a body should naturally react and if this natural reaction of the body is gone then the body will get sicked and eventually die.
I am a college student when Pres. Duterte got elected as president. During that time I am very much against him and I hate him so much so I did not vote for him. The media always portray him in a negative way so I was influenced by the biased media. When I started working, I was able to experience the outside and much bigger world. I now realized that he is doing good. However, those who are against him always highlight the negative things. His admininstration is not perfect and I must admit he and his appointees are showing incompetence. But overall, he is one of the best leader so far after EDSA revolution. My hope for my country is restored because of him. And I am happy that there are more supporters than haters and Filipinos with crab mentality.
being a teenager who experience by bully in some of drug users i agree to duterte of doing the war on drugs and there is nothing else i could say i even had an uncle who is addicted to drug but now who are in different country to work atleast to have a money for his family and i feel sorry for his for child who got abused (i mean got taste how bad his father the day he was on drug not abused like rape or anything just a physical but still its abused) that day and i was happy for him for now because he manage to protect himself and been strong person but still sorry for him
I don't get why people invalidate the students' voices just because they're young. I agree that Asian Boss shouldve gathered a more diverse sample but the students have valid, educated arguments (esp. 8:12 ) I think the sample population in the other video w/ a related theme "What do Filipinos think of President Duterte?" was also not very diverse. But the comment section was filled only with approval from those who support the president. Age doesn't measure the validity of one's experiences. I hope we don't brand something as "biased" just because it doesn't fit our view. [Filipinos are divided in most (if not all) of the political issues. I wish Asian Boss became more sensitive on these--both the Filipinos view on Duterte video and this one about war on drugs. And as much as possible, please diversify more in the future (e.g. age, gender, occupation). Thank youuuu]
I'm Filipino woman I agree of Philippines President Duterte campaign against Illegal drugs and corruption ...I want a safe environment for women and children ... Thousands of Filipino women are real victims of rape and murder here that's why I agree on President's fight against Illegal drug users and drug Lord's ..
I still support the government. I mayself saw the changes specially in my province where a lot of my friends are connected or a drug addict but thank to Duterte's effort fighting this problem it create more opportunities to my friend to change their lives for the better. some of them have legal Jobs and the chaos in my province was so peaceful tham before. and the known pusher in our place was already caught by the policey My uncle was also a drug addict but thankfully he change his life and start a restaurant business.
Why are you only doing these interviews with the students or younger generation. Majority of these are bias response. In my 30 years of existence I never felt safer until President Duterte implemented the war of drugs.

These students are intelligent.. with their own opinion and self explanation i can say that they are fully aware on what is happening on their society..
Mabuhay Brother, wish we could exterminate drugs problem in our country, sometimes we need someone with iron fist to fight em,.. from Indonesia with love,..
Here's an opinion from a Filipino teenager in Philippines who is very, very different from others: I honestly could care less about the drug war, however even with these results, I feel they are short term only, and I am certainly doubtful that the drug war would actually solve the problem. What would happen if Duterte left office and whoever succeeded him wasn't as vehement on wiping out drugs as Duterte was? I say drugs could possibly come back, but idk, no one predicts the absolute future successfully. Reason I am doubtful is that I have also seen how other drug wars play out in other countries. Mexico started their drug war 10 years earlier and I don't think there's been much progress there, it seems to me its still full of violence and some instability, and the reputation of Mexico being a drug place still seems. I do hope though I am just under a misconception. And even the US itself started a drug war decades ago, during President Johnson's time. I know it was supposed to be peaceful but then devolved into violence. What happened? Not only has the drugs not been removed, but both drug use and violence seems to have actually increases because of this, which seem to be problems in the States even today. And furthermore: For one to seek drugs, there would need to be some sort of emptiness or negative emotion or issue, like depression and trauma. What Duterte is doing only eliminates drugs on the outside, but what of the inside? Certainly while he has prioritized the elimination of the physical, the mentality is another thing. What about education? Poverty? Aren't their faults indirectly causing the drug war as well? And then there's also the rest of Latin America. Countries like Colombia have also had problems with drugs, I hear a former Colombian president even wrote a letter to Duterte citing his experiences. What Duterte does is like... compare it to a zombie apocalypse. What Duterte does is like keeping all the people away from the zombies to eliminate food supply, but what about the hunger of the zombies? Not only is it not dealt with (Unless said zombie dies) but I'd think if the zombie were to starve (if thats possible), it would get more desperate for food the more time it hasn't eaten. I'd like to think for drug addicts who haven't taken drugs in a long time, they would probably get more desperate to seek drugs, then either they die or they find a drug and relieve themselves therefore the drug corrupts their mind further. Thankfully, I'm not one of the teens seeking drugs, and I would *NEVER* do that, its an act of utter idiocy to me. Besides, I don't even want to get any addictions to the point I don't even wanna try alcohol or smoking, just the thought and image of myself possibly getting addicted to it terrifies me. Then again, I seem to be in a much better life compared to most Filipino teens, even my friends and former batchmates here.... meh. Soooo to sum it up, I'm doubtful for the final success of the Philippine Drug War because: 1. All the other drug wars that have been waged on in other countries, as far as I know not a single one of them is successful. 2. Taking out drug supply doesn't solve the mental instability of drug addict that takes drugs. Sure you can kill him/her if you could but then, human rights issues would get in the way. Sooo am I supporting the war? Well, it depends. I won't support it if the war isn't successful and only destabilizes Philippines further like it did with other countries. But I will support it if Philippines actually manages to find a new way that works to finally eliminate drugs once and for all. To President Duterte and the Philippine Government, please make sure this actually works. Otherwise, you have more drug use, instability, and those angry with human rights issues to deal with. PS, if you wanna stop someone from taking drugs, best way to do that is, give them a reason not to take drugs. Especially one he/she can relate to mentally.

Can you make video about what Pinoys think about Indonesia? Indonesia & The Phillipines have to many relationship in language, race, even history since their country was colonized by our empire called Srivijaya & Majapahit also a Sultanate called ternate tidore, even there's rumour that many Pinoys are descendants of Srivijaya & Majapahit colonizers
Evan Filemon Even though we share a lot in common, I feel like the two countries are distant with each other. I know we're in good terms but I just felt like that maybe because of the cultural differences.
@@jchavez1431 i heard visayans are descendants of Srivijaya empire colonizers, i also talked with a Kapampangan guy that his family were descendants of Majapahit Imperial Family
Evan Filemon I myself is a visayan, specifically from Panay Island. I've read some articles on that. Visayans are from the Srivijaya Empire, I think that's the reason why it's called Visayas. I know so little about this history, the Spaniards ruined it all.
@@jchavez1431 yeah Srivijaya Empire was originated from my island Sumatra, Mindanao even was part of our Ternate tidore sultanate from eastern Indonesian region before it was stolen by Spanish.

Agree ako. Marami nmn tlgang adik. Laganap at ang mga previous administration close their eyes because they dont have the courage to solve it. Sobrang talamak. Anti war of Duterte is one of the victories of his term. So those from outside keep your mouth shut. We have somehow peace here because of the anti war. I still support the war on drugs...
Asking the country who has a lot of drug problems, why it has it. Is like asking Japanese people why there are so bad in English on average.(I'm half Japanese btw.) In both cases the problem would be solved, if they knew what the problem (root cause) is. In the case of the Phillipines, I personally would probably research other countries who had the exact same problem in the past but not anymore nowadays. Like Portugal. Portugal I heard, had huge problems with drug addicts in the past.
The situation is completely different. Portugal is highly educated, relatively rich country. I'm not saying I agree with Duterte, like you said, he's not tackling the root of the problem. Drug addicts are the result of the failed system.
Finally someone with common sense, and Portugal is not the only one, Peru and the Netherlands are good examples as well, decriminilisation seems to be a far better solution. And it's not about funds, first of all, Portugal was not a rich country at the time and was having plenty of trouble. Second of all, the funds that now go to the war on drugs might be a lot higher then the solutions Portugal implemented at the time. Besides all the extra police activity is very expensive, but taking care of all the people is jail is just as expensive. I understand over 2 million people we're incarcerated as a result of the war on drugs. That means these 2 million people will have no positive impact on your economy whatsoever. The have noe become a total liability for the country and from jail they can be of zero benefit to the Philipines. Also the impact of jail time can manifest for decades after they are released back into the general public, having more negative effects on the country i the long run, effecting future generations as well, e.g. children growing up without fathers, or parents as a whole. Decriminilisation and rehabilitation have proven to be far more effective. 95% of all studies on this matter support this and most of these studies also show that violent action mostly leads to more problems than it actually solves.
@@diegopenya9349 I fully agree with you. You can't use the exact same tactics on a different country. But, you get hints and ideas how it could work. As a case study which resulted in success. In Portugal, (at least to my understanding) legalized all drugs. It was just too much. Portugal was flooded with drugs and when they caught a drug lord, the next drug lord was already in line to immediately replace him. The police was literally powerless! So they legalized ALL drugs. I admit, it's extreme but it had interesting implications. Which had 2 main consequences. 1. It totally took power away from drug lords. Because it wasn't illegal anymore. Drug addicts could buy it cheaper and in way higher quality from the government with medical support. Which led to less death from impurities and over dosage. The government became the drug dealer, but with regulations like in medical or pharmaceutical industries. Purity, quality and dosage control, like with every other medicine or drug. You went in principle to a doctor like you would get strong sleeping pills, which in an over dose could also kill you. So the doctor had to teach you how to, when to and in which amount to use the drug. And it also meant no wars between police and gangs. No blackmailing, no recruiting victims into criminal gangs or organization, no forced labor, no organ selling, no forced prostitution, no family tragedies, no new born babies who were drug addicted in the womb, before they were born because the mother was a drug addict. Worst scenario the mother of the baby had to sell her body and got pregnant by a total stranger. 2. Because it was legal, people weren't afraid, so they immediately demanded help! The problem with drug addicts is most of them get paranoid and fear inprisonment, other punishments, the shame they have to face in public, under friends and family. So they simply don't look out for help. In Portugal they reported themselves to the authorities, got into rehabilitation and got into a long term project, where they got a new job and visited regurlary a councilor until they were really clean. I agree a lot of those methods probably don't work in the Philippines but at least it gives an insight of the psychology of the drug addicts and power elements of organized crime, in a sense of: "how to strip power away from drug lords." It just widens the horizon and changes perspective on things like illegal drugs.
LOL. Peru is a good example? Peru did NOT decriminalize drugs. In fact, they've become the biggest cocaine producer in 2013, overtaking Colombia. The only thing legal in Peru is the traditional chewing of coca leaves and medical marijuana. Possessing significant quantities of all other drugs is still a crime. Portugal and the Netherlands don't have an insurgent Islamist problem funded by drug money and kidnapped tourists. Neither are they neighbors of countries with very large drug cartels (Triads, Yakuza). So yeah. Not exactly the same situation, is it?

Glad to hear some compliments from a neighbor even though tagalog is not my mother tongue 😂. Try listening to hiligaynon language, if the tagalog is sexy for you, this one is gentle. ❤️
Yes Philippines is good but not best. We dont have discipline. Unlike other countries. But food here is delicious. Specifically in pampanga. My hometown
You think really that the problems on illegal drug abuse is because of poverty? I don't think so. Because even rich people do use drugs like cocaïne and other forms of party drugs. It is a global issue where even in rich countries like America , China, or France share the same problem. Other Asian countries like Indonesia, India, Pakistan have more or less had similar drug abuse problem. In China and on the Arab States, drug abuse is punishable by a death penalty . While we Filipinos are endlessly debating on who should have the right to live, the drug addicts or the victims of crimes committed by those who abuse illegal drugs, in Latin America such as Colombia, Mexico, or Venezuela, their government were already under the influence of powerful drug cartels. Now, if you want me to chose between drug war of Duterte or just letting our country to become a Narco State, ii'll chose the lesser evil. I would gladly prefer the brutal method of Mr. Duterte. . Let us not forget the sacrifices of our OFWs who are sending money for their families back in the Philippines only to find out oneday that their sacrifices has been wasted by ignorant filipinos. Those whose only concern is to get high on drugs! Like some of those who wanted to consume methampethamine or Shabu . Shame on you! Instead of asking only the opinion of kids in school,,why don't you ask as well the opinion of more than ten million OFWs who are working so hard just to send most of these ignorant kids to school ? You should encourage other kids to have a better things to do during their spare time, instead of insinuating like they have a Human right to become a professional drug addicts.
This is excellent. These youth really understand well the dimensions of the problem. And their conclusions are the same as the ones I formed after studying the issue and living in the Philippines for 3 decades (actually mostly in Davao City). Duterte is attacking the wrong problem as the drug menace will always return if the poverty and overpopulation is not addressed. I have a Gist document linked from my About page wherein I elaborate on this and other issues of the day.
Now go preach that to the leaders of the community in Kensington PA on how to handle the drug zombies there.. Including the millions of other drug junkies spread across the US..
It's crazy to think that people think it's okay to kill someone for being a drug addict. Maybe try rehab? Or you could send them to jail. But to kill them is taking things too far.
I am a filipino living in America. My heart is in pain everytime im hearing bad news about this country where I was born and raised. In my opinion, Drug users need to be in rehab not to kill them. The people that they killed was a small user or poor people that suffering from depression because of the poverty that they in.What happend to the chinesse drugs lord? Officials using the drugs that they steal from government and using thier power in all means? what happend to other nationalities using this country when it comes on drug? . So for me the war in drugs is useless because the top people still out there living thier luxurious life while poor people family member died while thier family left behind still facing more problem,children growing up without dad,no father to find food in the table,woman that widow and eventually turning to be a government 4ps. Government needs to understand what Filipino needs is a job without discrimination on age and height. Government needs to be fucos on poverty issues more than anything. And to all the Filipino people I think dicipline is one of the key to the road of success. Marijuna isn't bad I think it can be use in medical porposes.
All agreed. My guess is this admin only uses "War on Drugs" to make themselves appear they are doing their job to improve our country because they are incompetent in handling the nation's real issues: food shortage, rapid inflation, poverty, territory squabble with China, etc
It seems that you are very late in the news. The intelligence already revealed the top government officials protecting drug lords. Filing charges will come shortly. The shameful part of the investigation is that these people are heads of anti-drug operations. Now we know why their forces only seize drugs and no suspects arrested on every supposed surprise raid.
Most of the drug addicts killed were because they resisted arrest and posed a threat to the arresting officers. I do agree, however, that there are a number of cases where the police applied unecessary force resulting in a casualty. And that's why there are investigations being done in those cases. There are also rehab facilities being built maam, sadly, you can only ask the mainstream media why they don't cover it. The drug lords? You can ask Sen. Leila de Lima why drugs were proliferating in Bilibid Prison. Have you seen the luxurious life of the big fishes there? Drugs alleviate poverty maam, and it's not only drugs the government is having its hands full with. Surely you have the same access to the internet as much as others so, a little research on what the government is doing will really help.
Haha 😂 its simple. Lets all vote 1 or 2. Either way someone is going to die. 1. You either preserve the good people 2. You either preserve the bad people
As a foreigner I respect the opinions of the locals but if only these KIDS know how much damage drugs do to a society, specially when you have millions of addicts... How valuable and wise is your president and how hard is to be a straight and strong like him with all these outsiders trying to bullie him. You'll not know the value of his Excellency until his term ends. As a former addict/ex convict and now a clean person I wish my country had a leader like him when I was young so my family had not gone through all that pain. No matter how hard dogs bark at moon it will always remain high in the sky with giving light to the darkness. God bless Philippines and his Excellency from SL.
That’s one of the good thing that change in our country , the youths are becoming aware and knowledgeable of what is really happening in our country .I could say that it’s one of the biggest achievement of the president to raise awareness and education to our youth.
I think the Philippines should take a different approach by facilitating drug users with treatment and providing jobs or welfare so people won't feel desperate enough to involve themselves with drug supplying. Still, I'm sure this violent approach has deterred many who fear for their lives so I guess it isn't a total fail

Thanks for featuring this asian boss. Great set of interviewees. Alot of innocent lives were taken during this campaign and innocent or not, they deserve to live.
The Philippines have great potential to rise as a economic power in Asia, but it must first fight several wars against corruption and drugs, before they can fight the next war against poverty and Islamic terrorism.
Only 10% was innocent? So killing people is okay as long as 9/10 are actually guilty?? This makes no sense to me, is she actually serious? Good luck in the future, taking care of your orphan problems, increased underground drugtraffic and increasingly violent crimes.

All Filiphines youngsters have their rights to have clean & brighter life. Drugs kill youngsters. Druglord & corruptor grab their future wealth. Drug addict, Druglords & corruptor are public enemies that ruined the nation building
Here's how drugs killings work: A drug user(usually are the poor) did not pay. So the drug dealer notifies the paid cops(cops involved in drugs) to kill the guy who did not pay to set an example to all the other drug users. These kinds of killings are present long before duterte was president yet nobody cared. Duterte start campaigning for presidency. Now drug related cops and drug dealers are scared. The only way for them to escape conviction is to kill the people that know of their drug involvement. These are the drug users themselves. The Police Killings were not ordered by Duterte but are done by Drugs Involved Police to wipe out any witnesses and the information the drug users know about the corruption amongst the Police. If you'd only listen to complete statement of duterte he says that he will only protect cops who follow the police procedures and cops that shoot only on self defense. I hope foreigners can read my comment and know about the truth here in the slums.
yes we have more safer time at this goverment is whst we need. poor people are lazy that even if there is available jobs they still want it to be one time big time become rich in an instant. help solve the problem & not be a problem.
2 out of how many??? mind to make a percentage output of that?.. so let's just stop the war on drugs and instead of two let thousands of shipments in our country...that would be right?..this is what happens when people put their brains where it shouldn't be..
Key word is "SUPPRESSION"... Theres no such thing as a PERFECT WAR!!! The Philippines is composed of 7,000 plus islands and it is inevitable that some of these illegal drugs will get pass through customs check and some will be backdoored on the Southern islands...
I was ex drug users (shabbu).. if illegal drugs are not initially solved among your community, your kids are the next victims.. Support Pres. DUTERTE on drug war !!!!
You didn't touch on WHERE the drugs are coming from, and the fact that the government is getting funding to allow the drugs to come in, and gives the "perception" of crack down(war on drugs) towards a desired affect, which equates to showmanship.
Kevin Troy In the 1980s in the United States of America, in particular the CIA was proven to be a part of the United States drug trade by allowing cocaine into this country for distribution via the Contras. The Reagan Administration was proven to build a road for cocaine supply into the United States. At the same time, as a diversionary tactic the Reagan Administration developed a coin phrase "War on Drugs", and "just say no" (showmanship), to give the perception of a fight against what they were actually allowing to happen. China is the largest illegal drug supplier to the Philippines and several other countries. China's illegal flow of drugs into the Philippine islands is the reason why there are so many broken families drug addicts drug induce rages crimes stealing raping killing in the Philippines. China has also delivered 24 billion dollars to the Philippines for its so-called "infrastructure" projects. money that the Philippines takes and desperately needs but it's not being used towards the construction and infrastructure needs of the country. This money being supplied to the president and his administration is still pouring in, along with the drugs illegal being supplied by China. The Filipinos president's diversionary tactic or "War on Drugs" (an American phrase), is no different than what has happened in the United States. The "Showmanship" is the appearance of a crackdown on a few users and dealers without hitting the source which is actually supplying the Philippines drugs, and the government money. The Philippine president is no different than the Ronald Reagan Administration was in the 80s in the United States: They look the other way because they're receiving billions. The phrase, "War on Drugs" was created to deny and divert from the responsibility of WHO was supplying the drugs to the U.S.(Contras), same "War on drugs" vs. "war on drug supplier" used to divert from WHO is supplying the drugs to the Philippines(China).
Hindi kahirapan ang dahilan kung bakit nag drugs yung tao bugok na kaisipan yan hirap na hirap kana nga sa buhay mo walang pambili ng pagkain pero drugs meron kalokuhan
If you experienced or saw the effect of this problem first hand you'd be glad to have a president who fearlessly declare "war on drugs", others will say it's too violent, but what about the innocent victims who we're robbed by this addict just to satisfy their needs, or innocent young girls who were raped and killed, these people were in and out of jail so many times and were given too many chances. And please for the media focus on why our president is doing this, and assuming every dead bodies were done by police is very bias and misleading. And you media knows that "nanlaban" already exist long before this administration.
if we show mercy to the drug offenders they will grow again, the incoming should be completly blocked, not only the president, everyone should take responsibility to make the pilipinas a prosperous country

The interviewees are all students mostly high schoolers. I suggest they ask people of different ages, old and young ones.
Yeah, skews the interviews towards the negative side since the younger generation seems to dislike the president for some reason. I'm not really impressed with the Philippine Asian Boss team. They look like amateurs doing their high school video project compared to the other Asian Boss teams.
@@wakopopoy2566 Not an argument, buddy. If you don't mind, the grown-ups are talking.
@UCLwEqaAYAoKD0wsS3RmTWsg There it is, an argument. That's better at least we can have a discussion. I mean if you want to have a general idea of how a nation feels about an issue, you need to have representatives of different sectors or classes. If you only pick a certain demographic, then the results of your interview will be skewed towards that side and will not reflect the whole picture. It's merely a suggestion to the Philippine team of Asian Boss if they want to be considered more credible.
@@BanLag3188 But still, if you want to have a general idea of how a nation feels about an issue, it is not enough to watch one or two interviews on youtube. That is something everyone needs to keep in mind (I dont mean you, just wanted to add up). So whether they include two or three older persons (How old?) or not, it wont be representative anyways. I think it depends more on the person who is being interviewed, how they can represent the perception of the people they know or their own knowledge. The chance that the interview will be more representative would be slightly higher, but it doesn't mean it will. ..My point is, whether an interview is representative or not, you can't tell, before you research the subject in other sources. ...Just wanted to say it because I get an impression that many people tend to think that they understand an issue just from reading a few articles, watching a pair of short interviews or talking to one person that is familliar with an issue (problem: people are biased). ...But the positive thing is, that such short interviews raise the awareness of specific issues that not everybody is familiar with. ....But yeah, questioning the degree of the representativity of a survey or interview is a necessary tool. Peace.
@@noromanx4 I get your point. This is just a youtube video by a private media entity, which has its own biases/agenda. It would most certainly help the credibility of the video by adding a few more people from different sectors (not necessarily age, could be different socioeconomic classes, etc.); That is why polls and surveys exist. The respondents of those surveys aren't exactly the most well-informed people but their numbers make up for their biases. I understand budget will be an issue when it comes to doing things like this. Sadly, people in general will most likely never follow the weekly press briefings, read news articles of several news outlets, or even listen to the president's speeches. For some, if not most, this short UA-cam video will be enough for them to draw conclusions about the state of the country, especially foreigners. Just like you, I hope people will use this video as an introduction and do more research about the topic but as I've said, it will most likely never happen.

The President and the government give them the chance to change their lives. So, in our community right now is getting better and peaceful. Thanks for the Political will of the President Duterte.
*Where is the political will though of Duterte when it comes to convicting drug lords like his buddy Peter Lim? Or pursuing to solve the 6.4B shabu case? How come the administration prevents UN to probe killings when they think the war on drugs is effective?*
AS Then take those drug dealer back in your country.
“give them the chance to change their lives” more like literally take their lives AWAY. too many innocent people were killed without the right to a fair trial.
Why not rehabilitate drug addicts instead of killing them and leaving their family in shambles? Why not put their resources into helping reduce poverty so that people are less likely to end up using drugs in the first place?
It baffles me that people actually think the “war on drugs” is effective. Effective for the country’s statistics, sure. “Our country is drug-free, it only cost thousands of actual human lives and broken families in the process”

Everyone deserves a fair trial. No one should ever take it upon themselves to execute someone without proper evidence. Wrongful imprisonment would be bad enough, but if an innocent person gets executed, however, nothing could be done to compensate for the loss.
As a nation who values justice, we should give people the right they deserve to exonerate or redeem themselves.
Everyone deserve to live also. When drug addicts rape, kill and massacre every stage of life from infant to old age, they never think of their human rights. These criminals just execute.
I hope human rights co are more vocal to the victim.of the drug addicts vs the addicts themselves. NASAN kayo nung madaming pinatay ang mga adik?
@ So you think it's justified to execute a person for using drugs? Because the way you framed that sentence makes it seem like you are against the drug users not the dealers or organized crime. Because if so that's an absolutely twisted view to have. No one deserves to get killed for having ended up in a bad place in life that led them to use drugs. They should be treated and rehabilitated. And honestly I don't see anything wrong with smoking a bit of weed, it doesn't harm anyone, so you shouldn't be punished for it and definitely not executed.

I'm not a Filipino but being as my wife is, I've been there a few times and have seen some of the problems in the country. I really haven't come across the drug thing but have seen corruption on many other levels that Duterte is working on cleaning up, and understand it's a monumental task to try to change the mind set of those who are trying to get rich from corruption and drugs. As a foreigner I feel safer knowing that the president of this beautiful county isn't just turning a blind eye towards the problem like so many others before him, .. although I do fear that the country will relapse into the same old ways once he's no longer in power.
I'm almost certain that if there was a less painful way to get the peoples attention and clean the place up he's be happy to hear it and implement it.
You have been brainwashed by your wife and lack critical thinking. Wake up, they have killied over 20,000 people without a trial, many of them being 100% innocent or even kids.
@@jameswalker6864 I'll admit a couple of years further along my views on a lot of things have changed. Corruption will always abound in the Philippines regardless of what methods are used to curtail it.
No one should be executed without a fair trial and after the next election there could be a big problem for Duterte for the methods that were used to clean the country up.
Also after the way the pandemic has been dealt with over there it's anyone's guess as to who will be the next President, .... or if Duterte will even just refuse to give the job up.
The people interviewed are only from Manila. If you wanted to have a broader perspective on what Filipinos think about war on drugs then you should've had representatives from people living in Visayas and Mindanao. People in Luzon always go against Duterte, so this interview is terribly one sided. Besides, war on drugs also resulted to a lot of drug addict to go into rehab. We are only starting to take action in this critical problem..so don't expect that a problem that's been happening for years will be solved right away. At least, Duterte compared to others is the only president who put importance on doing something in the drug problem of our country.
Agree 👍
Angel Gomez very true
You are a 💯% correct👍👌 to me Duterte is doing an excellent job! Especially getting rid of previous corrupt administration that run drug cartels like Colombia and Mexico!
It had some good and bad effects....Crime Rate Went down, Drug activities were not that prevalent or at least it was lessen, Drug Lords from within and outside of Metro Manila were revealed including some Police but a lot of Innocent People were killed as part of the process
every country has its own issues however in your country...War is upon your borders...it can kill more that a million

That girl has lots of common sense. Thats the highlight of this video.
I disagree, the west has a growing number of drug addicts and pushers and their corruption is more sophisticated than ours since what you are seeing in the Philippines now is what they did in the 80s but in a less extreme way (incarceration or accidental/racial killings). Philippines is late to the game and the west knows what it is saying. Sure we are more poor but it's not like what the west was saying is false... It's actually more expensive killing petty criminals and users THEN realizing that your own government is corrupt so you have to fire them. It wouldve been cheaper if the anti corruption schemes would've been put in place first like the west said instead of killing petty criminals and users. West is on the frontlines of the drug war for decades now..... Experience is something else.
This is not true. Drug abuse is a problem anywhere and the human rights abuses happening in the Philippines aren't excusable.
@Temujin Khan I want anither pres. DUTERTE next presidentila election.
Good to hear that young filipinos have their own opinion on the issue. Good thing for the Philippines😊
You could've *AT LEAST* mentioned that of the 4 000 000 drug addicts that exist in the Philippines, 2 000 000 drug addicts have ALSO been ARRESTED/SURRENDERED IN TURN. That being said, of the 4 000 000 drug addicts in the Philippines, only 4200 - 20 000 have died as a result of the Drug War too. Things REALLY could've been A LOT worse for the Philippines as far as the Drug War was concerned and it's important to appreciate that.

the second chance was already given by offering the drug addicts a chance to rehabilitate and cure their addiction to drugs. And those addicts who haven't accepted the offer simply had their lives taken in the process of the war on drugs.
The Drug War may succeed, it could fail, but for as long as it is, us, FIlipinos who made the decision democratically, not other countries, that's fine. We will learn from the experience. When we elected Duterte, we are 100% aware of his methods. In fact, we asked for them. If this shocks the Western media, we do not care.

The drug problem can never be eliminated. PRRD's move can at least minimize it. Along the process it is inevitable to have collateral damage.
I know this war on drugs cannot be absolutely won unless if some sort of miracle will happen but its better that you're fighting than staying in a bed feeling hopeless about everything thinking its futile. This war on drugs is like an inflammation, a sign of immunity which a body should naturally react and if this natural reaction of the body is gone then the body will get sicked and eventually die.
yes your right i just wish people with negative minds would realize what they saying about our president is wrong.
I am a college student when Pres. Duterte got elected as president. During that time I am very much against him and I hate him so much so I did not vote for him. The media always portray him in a negative way so I was influenced by the biased media. When I started working, I was able to experience the outside and much bigger world. I now realized that he is doing good. However, those who are against him always highlight the negative things. His admininstration is not perfect and I must admit he and his appointees are showing incompetence. But overall, he is one of the best leader so far after EDSA revolution. My hope for my country is restored because of him. And I am happy that there are more supporters than haters and Filipinos with crab mentality.
being a teenager who experience by bully in some of drug users
i agree to duterte of doing the war on drugs and there is nothing else i could say
i even had an uncle who is addicted to drug but now who are in different country to work atleast to have a money for his family
and i feel sorry for his for child who got abused (i mean got taste how bad his father the day he was on drug not abused like rape or anything just a physical but still its abused) that day and i was happy for him for now because he manage to protect himself and been strong person but still sorry for him
I don't get why people invalidate the students' voices just because they're young. I agree that Asian Boss shouldve gathered a more diverse sample but the students have valid, educated arguments (esp. 8:12 ) I think the sample population in the other video w/ a related theme "What do Filipinos think of President Duterte?" was also not very diverse. But the comment section was filled only with approval from those who support the president.
Age doesn't measure the validity of one's experiences. I hope we don't brand something as "biased" just because it doesn't fit our view.
[Filipinos are divided in most (if not all) of the political issues. I wish Asian Boss became more sensitive on these--both the Filipinos view on Duterte video and this one about war on drugs. And as much as possible, please diversify more in the future (e.g. age, gender, occupation). Thank youuuu]

"PILIPINO CONJECTURE" IS THE WORSE I HAVE HEARD FOR CENTURIES. . .'THAT CONJECTURE IS WORSE THAN 'SHABU' . . .'VALIDITY IS A MULTIFACED CONSTRUCT' 'FORCE - CHOICE CONSTRUCT ASSESSES THE VALIIDITY OF CONJECTURE' "NEVER ACCEPT SOMETHING RELUCTANTLY WITHOUT PPROTEST."
Good topic 👍
Our crime rate went down nationwide since Duterte came into power. Some parts by 10%, others by as much as 50%

8:12 is a logical answer. Kudos to that girl who has a logic together with her friend 👏
Here's an opinion from a Filipino teenager in Philippines who is very, very different from others:
I honestly could care less about the drug war, however even with these results, I feel they are short term only, and I am certainly doubtful that the drug war would actually solve the problem. What would happen if Duterte left office and whoever succeeded him wasn't as vehement on wiping out drugs as Duterte was? I say drugs could possibly come back, but idk, no one predicts the absolute future successfully.
Reason I am doubtful is that I have also seen how other drug wars play out in other countries. Mexico started their drug war 10 years earlier and I don't think there's been much progress there, it seems to me its still full of violence and some instability, and the reputation of Mexico being a drug place still seems. I do hope though I am just under a misconception.
And even the US itself started a drug war decades ago, during President Johnson's time. I know it was supposed to be peaceful but then devolved into violence. What happened? Not only has the drugs not been removed, but both drug use and violence seems to have actually increases because of this, which seem to be problems in the States even today.
And furthermore: For one to seek drugs, there would need to be some sort of emptiness or negative emotion or issue, like depression and trauma. What Duterte is doing only eliminates drugs on the outside, but what of the inside? Certainly while he has prioritized the elimination of the physical, the mentality is another thing. What about education? Poverty? Aren't their faults indirectly causing the drug war as well?
And then there's also the rest of Latin America. Countries like Colombia have also had problems with drugs, I hear a former Colombian president even wrote a letter to Duterte citing his experiences.
What Duterte does is like... compare it to a zombie apocalypse.
What Duterte does is like keeping all the people away from the zombies to eliminate food supply, but what about the hunger of the zombies? Not only is it not dealt with (Unless said zombie dies) but I'd think if the zombie were to starve (if thats possible), it would get more desperate for food the more time it hasn't eaten.
I'd like to think for drug addicts who haven't taken drugs in a long time, they would probably get more desperate to seek drugs, then either they die or they find a drug and relieve themselves therefore the drug corrupts their mind further.
Thankfully, I'm not one of the teens seeking drugs, and I would *NEVER* do that, its an act of utter idiocy to me. Besides, I don't even want to get any addictions to the point I don't even wanna try alcohol or smoking, just the thought and image of myself possibly getting addicted to it terrifies me. Then again, I seem to be in a much better life compared to most Filipino teens, even my friends and former batchmates here.... meh.
Soooo to sum it up, I'm doubtful for the final success of the Philippine Drug War because:
1. All the other drug wars that have been waged on in other countries, as far as I know not a single one of them is successful.
2. Taking out drug supply doesn't solve the mental instability of drug addict that takes drugs. Sure you can kill him/her if you could but then, human rights issues would get in the way.
Sooo am I supporting the war? Well, it depends.
I won't support it if the war isn't successful and only destabilizes Philippines further like it did with other countries. But I will support it if Philippines actually manages to find a new way that works to finally eliminate drugs once and for all.
To President Duterte and the Philippine Government, please make sure this actually works.
Otherwise, you have more drug use, instability, and those angry with human rights issues to deal with.
PS, if you wanna stop someone from taking drugs, best way to do that is, give them a reason not to take drugs. Especially one he/she can relate to mentally.

Can you make video about what Pinoys think about Indonesia? Indonesia & The Phillipines have to many relationship in language, race, even history since their country was colonized by our empire called Srivijaya & Majapahit also a Sultanate called ternate tidore, even there's rumour that many Pinoys are descendants of Srivijaya & Majapahit colonizers
Evan Filemon Even though we share a lot in common, I feel like the two countries are distant with each other. I know we're in good terms but I just felt like that maybe because of the cultural differences.
@@jchavez1431 i heard visayans are descendants of Srivijaya empire colonizers, i also talked with a Kapampangan guy that his family were descendants of Majapahit Imperial Family
Evan Filemon I myself is a visayan, specifically from Panay Island. I've read some articles on that. Visayans are from the Srivijaya Empire, I think that's the reason why it's called Visayas. I know so little about this history, the Spaniards ruined it all.
@@jchavez1431 yeah Srivijaya Empire was originated from my island Sumatra, Mindanao even was part of our Ternate tidore sultanate from eastern Indonesian region before it was stolen by Spanish. I heard Ancient Pinoys spoke Old Malay language (ancient form of modern indonesian language) before it was banned by Spaniards, i also heard Magellan hired somebody from Indonesia to be his translator since Pinoys spoke Old Malay as their second language to trade with Indonesian kingdoms after collapse of Majapahit Empire, i also watched a news that the present day sultan of Sulu was descendant of a Sumatran that arrived in Southern Pinoy region

Agree ako. Marami nmn tlgang adik. Laganap at ang mga previous administration close their eyes because they dont have the courage to solve it. Sobrang talamak. Anti war of Duterte is one of the victories of his term. So those from outside keep your mouth shut. We have somehow peace here because of the anti war. I still support the war on drugs...
My mind set in high school days versus my adulthood is totally different.
7:19 that girl is speaking facts
I like the girl at 7:48 "Wag kayong makialam"...
Asking the country who has a lot of drug problems, why it has it.
Is like asking Japanese people why there are so bad in English on average.(I'm half Japanese btw.)
In both cases the problem would be solved, if they knew what the problem (root cause) is.
In the case of the Phillipines, I personally would probably research other countries who had the exact same problem in the past but not anymore nowadays.
Like Portugal.
Portugal I heard, had huge problems with drug addicts in the past.
The situation is completely different. Portugal is highly educated, relatively rich country.
I'm not saying I agree with Duterte, like you said, he's not tackling the root of the problem. Drug addicts are the result of the failed system.
Finally someone with common sense, and Portugal is not the only one, Peru and the Netherlands are good examples as well, decriminilisation seems to be a far better solution. And it's not about funds, first of all, Portugal was not a rich country at the time and was having plenty of trouble. Second of all, the funds that now go to the war on drugs might be a lot higher then the solutions Portugal implemented at the time. Besides all the extra police activity is very expensive, but taking care of all the people is jail is just as expensive. I understand over 2 million people we're incarcerated as a result of the war on drugs. That means these 2 million people will have no positive impact on your economy whatsoever. The have noe become a total liability for the country and from jail they can be of zero benefit to the Philipines. Also the impact of jail time can manifest for decades after they are released back into the general public, having more negative effects on the country i the long run, effecting future generations as well, e.g. children growing up without fathers, or parents as a whole. Decriminilisation and rehabilitation have proven to be far more effective. 95% of all studies on this matter support this and most of these studies also show that violent action mostly leads to more problems than it actually solves.
@@diegopenya9349 I fully agree with you. You can't use the exact same tactics on a different country.
But, you get hints and ideas how it could work. As a case study which resulted in success.
In Portugal, (at least to my understanding) legalized all drugs.
It was just too much. Portugal was flooded with drugs and when they caught a drug lord, the next drug lord was already in line to immediately replace him. The police was literally powerless!
So they legalized ALL drugs. I admit, it's extreme but it had interesting implications.
Which had 2 main consequences.
1. It totally took power away from drug lords.
Because it wasn't illegal anymore. Drug addicts could buy it cheaper and in way higher quality from the government with medical support.
Which led to less death from impurities and over dosage.
The government became the drug dealer, but with regulations like in medical or pharmaceutical industries. Purity, quality and dosage control, like with every other medicine or drug. You went in principle to a doctor like you would get strong sleeping pills, which in an over dose could also kill you.
So the doctor had to teach you how to, when to and in which amount to use the drug.
And it also meant no wars between police and gangs. No blackmailing, no recruiting victims into criminal gangs or organization, no forced labor, no organ selling, no forced prostitution, no family tragedies, no new born babies who were drug addicted in the womb, before they were born because the mother was a drug addict. Worst scenario the mother of the baby had to sell her body and got pregnant by a total stranger.
2. Because it was legal, people weren't afraid, so they immediately demanded help!
The problem with drug addicts is most of them get paranoid and fear inprisonment, other punishments, the shame they have to face in public, under friends and family. So they simply don't look out for help.
In Portugal they reported themselves to the authorities, got into rehabilitation and got into a long term project, where they got a new job and visited regurlary a councilor until they were really clean.
I agree a lot of those methods probably don't work in the Philippines but at least it gives an insight of the psychology of the drug addicts and power elements of organized crime, in a sense of: "how to strip power away from drug lords."
It just widens the horizon and changes perspective on things like illegal drugs.
Filipino are abusive taking drugs we lack DAMN discipline.. do that and it wont last maybe 3 years the country will sink..
LOL. Peru is a good example? Peru did NOT decriminalize drugs. In fact, they've become the biggest cocaine producer in 2013, overtaking Colombia. The only thing legal in Peru is the traditional chewing of coca leaves and medical marijuana. Possessing significant quantities of all other drugs is still a crime.
Portugal and the Netherlands don't have an insurgent Islamist problem funded by drug money and kidnapped tourists. Neither are they neighbors of countries with very large drug cartels (Triads, Yakuza). So yeah. Not exactly the same situation, is it?
"Phillipines" : Beauty, Lovely, Strong will, Cheerfull.. daym i love The Phillipines! in the scale of 8 to 10 the girls are absolutely georgeous, sexy language, the boys are gwapo, they have manners, Friendly, Open minded, Enjoying their life, what a beautiful place, eventho i lost my wallet by some thugs last year in manila 😁 not a big deal, i would love to visit this country once a year.

Glad to hear some compliments from a neighbor even though tagalog is not my mother tongue 😂. Try listening to hiligaynon language, if the tagalog is sexy for you, this one is gentle. ❤️
Yes Philippines is good but not best. We dont have discipline. Unlike other countries. But food here is delicious. Specifically in pampanga. My hometown
Mark David agree. I think we need a more strict president who knows how to implement and follow a law to discipline its people.
🙄 How much money do you want to borrow?
Thanks. But philippines is a shameful country
You think really that the problems on illegal drug abuse is because of poverty? I don't think so. Because even rich people do use drugs like cocaïne and other forms of party drugs. It is a global issue where even in rich countries like America , China, or France share the same problem. Other Asian countries like Indonesia, India, Pakistan have more or less had similar drug abuse problem.
In China and on the Arab States, drug abuse is punishable by a death penalty . While we Filipinos are endlessly debating on who should have the right to live, the drug addicts or the victims of crimes committed by those who abuse illegal drugs, in Latin America such as Colombia, Mexico, or Venezuela, their government were already under the influence of powerful drug cartels.
Now, if you want me to chose between drug war of Duterte or just letting our country to become a Narco State, ii'll chose the lesser evil. I would gladly prefer the brutal method of Mr. Duterte. .
Let us not forget the sacrifices of our OFWs who are sending money for their families back in the Philippines only to find out oneday that their sacrifices has been wasted by ignorant filipinos. Those whose only concern is to get high on drugs! Like some of those who wanted to consume methampethamine or Shabu . Shame on you!
Instead of asking only the opinion of kids in school,,why don't you ask as well the opinion of more than ten million OFWs who are working so hard just to send most of these ignorant kids to school ? You should encourage other kids to have a better things to do during their spare time, instead of insinuating like they have a Human right to become a professional drug addicts.
This is excellent. These youth really understand well the dimensions of the problem. And their conclusions are the same as the ones I formed after studying the issue and living in the Philippines for 3 decades (actually mostly in Davao City). Duterte is attacking the wrong problem as the drug menace will always return if the poverty and overpopulation is not addressed. I have a Gist document linked from my About page wherein I elaborate on this and other issues of the day.
Now go preach that to the leaders of the community in Kensington PA on how to handle the drug zombies there.. Including the millions of other drug junkies spread across the US..
The girls from Quiapo are the ones who made most sense.
The girl speaking at 8:11 has a very good point! She's smart. The guy's point at 3:05 is very good too.
It's crazy to think that people think it's okay to kill someone for being a drug addict. Maybe try rehab? Or you could send them to jail. But to kill them is taking things too far.
This goes by the assumption that rehab is effective
True. But I'd rather try to rehabilitate people than immediately assume their problems can't be fixed and murder them.
u know nothing..
@@correctionguy7632 *This goes the assumption that rehab is not effective...* 😂😂😂😂
YES REHAB! and then they go back to doing drugs after months and months of REHAB yeah right!
I am a filipino living in America. My heart is in pain everytime im hearing bad news about this country where I was born and raised. In my opinion, Drug users need to be in rehab not to kill them. The people that they killed was a small user or poor people that suffering from depression because of the poverty that they in.What happend to the chinesse drugs lord? Officials using the drugs that they steal from
government and using thier power in all means? what happend to other nationalities using this country when it comes on drug? . So for me the war in drugs is useless because the top people still out there living thier luxurious life while poor people family member died while thier family left behind still facing more problem,children growing up without dad,no father to find food in the table,woman that widow and eventually turning to be a government 4ps.
Government needs to understand what Filipino needs is a job without discrimination on age and height. Government needs to be fucos on poverty issues more than anything.
And to all the Filipino people I think dicipline is one of the key to the road of success.
Marijuna isn't bad I think it can be use in medical porposes.
All agreed. My guess is this admin only uses "War on Drugs" to make themselves appear they are doing their job to improve our country because they are incompetent in handling the nation's real issues: food shortage, rapid inflation, poverty, territory squabble with China, etc
agreed
It seems that you are very late in the news. The intelligence already revealed the top government officials protecting drug lords. Filing charges will come shortly. The shameful part of the investigation is that these people are heads of anti-drug operations. Now we know why their forces only seize drugs and no suspects arrested on every supposed surprise raid.
that's the problem you are living in a country of milk and butter... come home and see the difference this government has done for the people..
Most of the drug addicts killed were because they resisted arrest and posed a threat to the arresting officers. I do agree, however, that there are a number of cases where the police applied unecessary force resulting in a casualty. And that's why there are investigations being done in those cases.
There are also rehab facilities being built maam, sadly, you can only ask the mainstream media why they don't cover it.
The drug lords? You can ask Sen. Leila de Lima why drugs were proliferating in Bilibid Prison. Have you seen the luxurious life of the big fishes there?
Drugs alleviate poverty maam, and it's not only drugs the government is having its hands full with. Surely you have the same access to the internet as much as others so, a little research on what the government is doing will really help.
Sana may consent that you will post every students faces and if they agreed on it.

That’s one of the good thing that change in our country , the youths are becoming aware and knowledgeable of what is really happening in our country .I could say that it’s one of the biggest achievement of the president to raise awareness and education to our youth.
I think the Philippines should take a different approach by facilitating drug users with treatment and providing jobs or welfare so people won't feel desperate enough to involve themselves with drug supplying. Still, I'm sure this violent approach has deterred many who fear for their lives so I guess it isn't a total fail

The Philippines have great potential to rise as a economic power in Asia, but it must first fight several wars against corruption and drugs, before they can fight the next war against poverty and Islamic terrorism.

All Filiphines youngsters have their rights to have clean & brighter life. Drugs kill youngsters. Druglord & corruptor grab their future wealth. Drug addict, Druglords & corruptor are public enemies that ruined the nation building
8:33 Intelligent answer
Here's how drugs killings work: A drug user(usually are the poor) did not pay. So the drug dealer notifies the paid cops(cops involved in drugs) to kill the guy who did not pay to set an example to all the other drug users.
These kinds of killings are present long before duterte was president yet nobody cared.
Duterte start campaigning for presidency.
Now drug related cops and drug dealers are scared. The only way for them to escape conviction is to kill the people that know of their drug involvement. These are the drug users themselves. The Police Killings were not ordered by Duterte but are done by Drugs Involved Police to wipe out any witnesses and the information the drug users know about the corruption amongst the Police.
If you'd only listen to complete statement of duterte he says that he will only protect cops who follow the police procedures and cops that shoot only on self defense.
I hope foreigners can read my comment and know about the truth here in the slums.
@Leur That is another issue as well.
Agree. The supplier are the ones n dapat na maarresto so that the line of distribution be cut off.
The code switching in Filippino is just mesmerizing to listen to.. :o
Im a ordinary pililpino and will support our president duterte, ...
yes we have more safer time at this goverment is whst we need. poor people are lazy that even if there is available jobs they still want it to be one time big time become rich in an instant. help solve the problem & not be a problem.
Two shipments with billions worth of Meth came through the country and none of it was nabbed or stopped. War on drugs is going great. 😏
Probably cuz duterte rose to power as a drug lord and is only killing his opposition lmao
2 out of how many??? mind to make a percentage output of that?.. so let's just stop the war on drugs and instead of two let thousands of shipments in our country...that would be right?..this is what happens when people put their brains where it shouldn't be..
Key word is "SUPPRESSION"... Theres no such thing as a PERFECT WAR!!! The Philippines is composed of 7,000 plus islands and it is inevitable that some of these illegal drugs will get pass through customs check and some will be backdoored on the Southern islands...
I was ex drug users (shabbu).. if illegal drugs are not initially solved among your community, your kids are the next victims..

You didn't touch on WHERE the drugs are coming from, and the fact that the government is getting funding to allow the drugs to come in, and gives the "perception" of crack down(war on drugs) towards a desired affect, which equates to showmanship.
Citation needed
"Allow the drugs to come in"... "Showmanship"... Dude youre delusional!!! Stop taking drugs!!!!
Kevin Troy In the 1980s in the United States of America, in particular the CIA was proven to be a part of the United States drug trade by allowing cocaine into this country for distribution via the Contras.
The Reagan Administration was proven to build a road for cocaine supply into the United States.
At the same time, as a diversionary tactic the Reagan Administration developed a coin phrase "War on Drugs", and "just say no" (showmanship), to give the perception of a fight against what they were actually allowing to happen.
China is the largest illegal drug supplier to the Philippines and several other countries. China's illegal flow of drugs into the Philippine islands is the reason why there are so many broken families drug addicts drug induce rages crimes stealing raping killing in the Philippines.
China has also delivered 24 billion dollars to the Philippines for its so-called "infrastructure" projects. money that the Philippines takes and desperately needs but it's not being used towards the construction and infrastructure needs of the country.
This money being supplied to the president and his administration is still pouring in, along with the drugs illegal being supplied by China.
The Filipinos president's diversionary tactic or "War on Drugs" (an American phrase), is no different than what has happened in the United States.
The "Showmanship" is the appearance of a crackdown on a few users and dealers without hitting the source which is actually supplying the Philippines drugs, and the government money.
The Philippine president is no different than the Ronald Reagan Administration was in the 80s in the United States: They look the other way because they're receiving billions.
The phrase, "War on Drugs" was created to deny and divert from the responsibility of WHO was supplying the drugs to the U.S.(Contras), same "War on drugs" vs. "war on drug supplier" used to divert from WHO is supplying the drugs to the Philippines(China).
Hindi kahirapan ang dahilan kung bakit nag drugs yung tao bugok na kaisipan yan hirap na hirap kana nga sa buhay mo walang pambili ng pagkain pero drugs meron kalokuhan
Sira mga isipan Nila dahil sa drugs.
sila yung mga taong tamad at takot harapin ang mga problema
Yung iba kasi gusto ng easy money, iniisip nila na mabilis daw kumita ng pera sa pagbebenta ng droga :(
ugok, user ba solution sa kahirapan, malakas income sa drugs. kaya kumakapit sila, hindi sila gumagamit.. okay gumagamit sila pero hindi yan yung goal
May pera sa droga. Yung mga pusher.
If you experienced or saw the effect of this problem first hand you'd be glad to have a president who fearlessly declare "war on drugs", others will say it's too violent, but what about the innocent victims who we're robbed by this addict just to satisfy their needs, or innocent young girls who were raped and killed, these people were in and out of jail so many times and were given too many chances.
And please for the media focus on why our president is doing this, and assuming every dead bodies were done by police is very bias and misleading.
And you media knows that "nanlaban" already exist long before this administration.
Sayang dapat ako na Interview dyan sasabihin ko lahat ng hinaing ko sa DILAWAN NA MEDIA.
There were some very brave people speaking up there. Respect.
