Im a Filipino and one of my siblings is a surenderee. He was not killed because he went to rehab and he's now 5 yrs sober. He's just a user, not a pusher. Now, he's currently taking accountancy. Mama and papa are now happy.
@@waldomaghanoy3384 no, pusher or users was all hunted down. Duterte commanded that any police stations that did not meet the quota for hunting pushers/users will be force resign from their job. So all police hunted down anyone to meet the quota they even include homeless people and plant drugs on it. My neighbor has a special son or a huge man with mental problem that always mistaken as homeless person was hunted down and drugs planted on his corpse.
As somebody like me.that grew up on the streets, Duterte was not exaggerating when he said that almost every streets in the Philippines are infested with drugs. All classes, all ages, are affected or being involved with drugs, I've seen them myself, I've seen people been killed, arrested, families been destroyed because of drugs, not from shabu alone, but also from other kind of drugs. Before Duterte, I use to see people selling drugs off the streets during the night, even on broad daylight, but since Duterte seated, the street value of drugs skyrocketed and also became very risky to sell
@@kimun2106 Lol what do you mean drug isn't the problem? its indeed part of the problem, it's just the method that been was not correct, they targeted common users and small time pushers, not the big time syndicates
When I was a kid, I remember seeing a marijuana residue together with my friends. Saw someone using "rugby" or "solvent", and I also saw people selling drugs discreetly on night. Scary stuff to see as a kid growing up
There's nothing good about illegal drugs, people saying otherwise are either a new drug user or just a western foreigner. I'm not Filipino tho, im indonesian
i grow up in the most cruel city in phil and i know Duterte isn't exaggerating the fact that there is a lot of drug pusher in the hood. mybe that young reporter is living in a subdivision that's why he didn't even witnessed rampant drug trade. imagine a 13 year old is commissioned to deliver drug.
Its funny how most of these people who say the drug problem in the Philippines is exaggerated are also those who live comfortably in their condominium units and subdivisions where they are always safe!LOL I definitely feel safer during the term of Duterte coz the streets feel more safer specially going out at night and the addicts and criminals are afraid to go out which is just right coz law abiding citizens should feel safe in their community and not worry about their safety.
Yeah maybe because if the drug problem in the Philippines is not exaggerated then people who are living in safe places and condo units would feel it also. Primary example is Mexico, Drug and cartels are a problem there and everyone knows and feels it. It’s not the case in the Philippines though, as you’ve said; you have to be not living in condo and safe places to feel the drug problem.
I thought Duterte is the president we want. But he too, stole people's money and kills people(even innocent ones). He is corrupt too. Still, he got much better results rather than the previous Philippine presidents and the current president.
@@DanceYoAss I live here (not in a expat/tourist bubble area but in a neighborhood that is far from ghetto either)! If it were allowed to fester for a few more years past 2016, it would definitely have gotten to that point or worse (like Venezuela). From time to time had to be on the look out for crooks as well as we heard of neighborhood houses being broken into as well...
Im from the US, and lived in Philippine ghettos for years (that's where my family is from). Drugs and crime in the Philippines is NOTHING compared to out here in the US, especially cities like Oakland (where I'm from), Detroit, St. Louis, etc. The miseducation and STRONG propaganda that our people been bombarded with their whole lives got into heir head smh..
Yes sir. We may not agree with these solutions but Duterte promised to change this and be openly responsible for it. That is why many supported him because he was willing to be the one to get dirty.
because the drug lords are this rich countries.. they even have war for opium whom all this big countries wants to be part of.. all they think was money not the people they dont care if you die as long as their business is alive and that is what this rich countries goal.. they even disrupt countries and make them go to war with their neighbours look at china and taiwan, look at russia and ukrain you think this is their war? NO, someone is creating it!! WHO? THE BABYLONIANS, Americans!!!
The thing is there are many countries who have ruled that way in the past history and it proven not to help at all. Filipino people are brainwashed if they think the solution is killing people . How about listening to the richer countries advices instead of being stupid
To be honest I'm a foreigner living in a Manila and the war on drugs scared me whe I first arrived in the Philippines but it's been 5 years since I lived in the Philippines and I always feel safe because of the Drug war
Before duterte became president. You cant even walk the street at night without worrying if you're going get robbed or killed. When he became president it all change. Now you can safely walk the streets without worrying too much. Why? because president duterte put the Fear of God to the criminals. So law abiding citizen can live their lives without any fear.
Im a Filipino and Duterte’s Drug war made PH more safer. I don’t want to go back where in Aquino’s term, a lot of drug addicts in streets, and most of the crimes like rape, holdups, etc are drug addicts.
I am from Mindanao. I was born, raised, and currently reside in Davao City. I may not have experienced the old Davao, but I can always hear my elders talking about how the former Davao City Mayor turned things around. I really looked up to him, especially when he became the President of the Philippines. During his term, I was able to hold my head high and be a proud Filipino wherever I went. This war on drugs may be such a gruesome sight for some, but it has changed our country; people are not afraid of walking alone in the wee hours; the crime rate dropped by 73.7% in the first five years of the former PRRD's term. Just like what he says, "Your concern is human rights. My concern is human life." People tend to look at the bloodshed. Why don't you look at the millions who feel safe and protected under his governance?
Yes,wala ng mga tambay tAmbay na nag inuman in the middle of a street and harassing innocent passersby.thinking theyre tough guys now like the late and respected great actor Fernando Poe.
It becomes problematic when students and the 'intelligentsia' are framed for crimes which they did not commit and are indiscriminately killed, look at the case of Kian Delos Santos for example. Moreover, it's also problematic when students, journalists, and other credible people alike are targeted with death threats for exposing the corruption and abuse of power present in the administration. Imagine living in a state where authoritarian "peace" is present but socioeconomic prosperity and social justice is absent due to the administration targeting and killing off the people responsible for improving the state of our economy and in upholding justice and social equitability within the country. Nonetheless, I do agree that the previous administration was effective in decreasing the rate of petty crimes and substance abuse among the general population; however, it failed to combat and erradicate the systemic problem of corruption, organized crime, and inadeqaute social welfare services which made the aforementioned petty crimes and drug abuse possible in the first place.
Living here my whole life, if ur not connected to drugs, its not a big deal. My cousin used to do meth and maybe into selling before but stopped because he was afraid to get killed, he's doing great now after that drug war..
Nope, I've experienced being harassed by cops and I'm not even involved with any drugs. No, they didn't have any search warrant and yes they decided to enter a gated community confiscating our drinks. Was it legal? No Was it a big deal? Yes If a cop can do such thing under the guise of the "war on drugs", what else can they do?
@@DanceYoAss Yeah it's bullshit and if a crime actually happens like for example you get robbed the police won't do anything, we have been robbed before and the police said they don't even have forensics lmao. Corruption is so huge here having the police be able to murder without consequence is so dangerous.

@@savasava9923Then what is? Rehabilitation? Anti-drug dialogue? Family intervention? Bro do you think we haven't done that? In the Philippines we have a saying "if you can't be convinced by being nice, then with violence you might".
Indonesia had something like this back in the 80s. Look up "Petrus Killings". Petrus is a portmanteau for "Penembak Misterius" ("Mysterious Shooter"). Allegedly it was masterminded by the military. An extrajudicial killing activity to eradicate gangs and their members. Their methods were...."cartel like". There's a story of a local gang leader who heard knocks on his door late at night, in front of his door was a sticky rice sack, opened it and there was a head of a rival gang leader with a note that said "leave town, else it's your turn next". My guess is these gang members killed wouldn't comply so they had to be told who's boss. That one gang leader perhaps had a family member in the higher-ups so he was let go. It worked. After that the government was the biggest gang out there. Everybody else had to pay tribute.
The Drug Problem is not an exaggeration,it’s real how rampant it is on the streets.I reckon now it would be even worse with the rise of social media. Closer to it with just one chat away. I was even shocked that my younger brother’s classmates were using it.At my own College,a friend of mine admitted using it. I grew up listening to crimes perpetrated by using drugs. I was recently heartbroken when I learned a case of a child raped and killed by two teenagers close of age to the victim! They were just neighbors! If it is not rampant, how in the world two teenagers can afford and find it? We were not even allowed to have chemicals used in making drugs in our chemistry labs and two teenage boys of slums are two corners away from purchasing it?
I remember it being the norm, pre Duterte times. If you see someone doing it, you will be the one to have to be quiet and not tell anyone what you see. You are more scared than the drug users. And taking it makes you someone "cool", something you can brag.
I didn't vote for BBM and Duterte's daughter because I believe corruption in Duterte's govt. is more rampant compared to previous admin and that's saying a lot.....However crimes has dramatically gone down because most of the criminals got killed since majority of them use drugs.....I can still remember how surreal it is when thousands of drug users/dealers surrenders voluntarily during the firsr days of Duterte's presidency....I have around 7 close relatives who use drugs who are now clean and living a normal life , this is all thanks to the real threat of them being killed if they don't stop using.

Duterte i will gladly choose him again and again and again...all the crime not related in the war is just a tactic by the opposition to go with the flow..
Yes, I really hate extrajudicial killings. The reason being is that the it only brings death not only the drug addicts but the innocents who were tempted by those Pushers!! (I really hope this drug pushers will die. I don't know their heartbreaking story but one thing I know is that they are causing misery to others.) And when I imagined if I am one of this innocents who will die or one of my family members, I got scared. But then, people will not learn of they were not taught a lesson the hard way. So I'm conflicted...

Do a survey on how many drug addicts reformed themselves even without going to rehab center. I had cousins and in-laws changing their lives because of war on drugs. Most crimes are drug related... And no county can grow economically if crimes are rampant.
But it does more harm has been done than good, countless abuses by the police has been reported such as kian's death. An alleged druglord has been seen in pictures with the former president which led to numerous accusation of what is the real goal of the war on drugs.

@@wafiqnasna4638 It’s not black and white. It just means there are better ways to mitigate drug use. EJK's killed actual drug lords sure but also killed accused innocent victims.
In my town, users were asked to surrender to the authorities. At some point, a list of names was made public. Def never saw anything like that at all. Also, before the drug war, you wouldn't want to be outside your house even just past 7pm. Things are better now.
These people who said that duterte is exaggerating the drug issue is hallucinating he lives in a gated community. Not in reality. And Filipino knows that. Thats why we voted for Bongbong Marcos.
Yes, I grew up in a gated community. Stop being lazy or relying on the government to put your foot to work and make sure your children can live in a gated community as well!
@@poisson5846 you "grew up" in a gated community, so you are there because or of your parents, and you act high and mighty telling people who are poor when they were born, who probably have no money for education to not to be lazy. you have the silver plate given to you when you are born and you think you know better... you just have prove how little you know about the reality outside your gate... lol
Yes, the dealers maybe but not a kid! Dealers, Drug Lord's are murderers. The kid is just how they make their money, so sad. The drug Lords are also mafia there, they make mom/pop businesses give them money or they will kill them. Same in other 3rd world countries like Guatemala.
He knew what would happen if he messed with drugs. Would you mess with them if it came with a bullet? No you wouldn’t. Yes it is wrong but that is Dutertes war on drugs and nothing is going to stop it.
unfortunately for this video, it never accounted the number of victims of rape, massacres, robbery which are related to drug usage. before duterte presides as president, it is literally too rampant for street crimes that you might fear to walk outside during night. there are snatching of jewelries mostly earrings bracelets and watches, also wallets and mobile phones. and as soon as duterte made that iron fist, it drastically changed for the safety of majority of the population specially in the metro manila. Research more and sway on protecting De Lima, because she was the protector of drug kingpins, in which she was previous justice secretary yet on her time, the drug lab inside the national prison was well kept hidden on the public knowledge until duterte admin exposed such thing. Vice should determine the other face of the story instead of one sided blabbering of filipino "correspondents" who are leftist activists. these activists are the destabilizers and are power hungry, they are always active on negative propagandas. while the majority are silent not because of fear but satisfied with the govt actions. the trust rating of duterte will show how much he had done for the better of the country. also, look how this "correspondent/activist" created story interconnecting the new presidency, to throw mud and tag as evil, about the war on drugs, yet it is the authority of the police to apprehend drug supplies. 🤷 don't be fooled by these individuals Vice, they are the real wolves on Lambs cloak.
as long as people like you exist, that defend fascist morons who use up the wealth of the people to their own benefit, you’ll be stuck in this cycle forever. have fun!!!
If you think extrajudicial killings are the solution, you deserve all the rape and misery around you... Learn to do things like people, or else, everything gets worst...
@@infectious420 tell that too to your people,if your not filipino dont point your finger on our government if your country/ govt. is perfect and no corruption then good for you!
5:10 the way he said "mindanao" is very discriminatory. Basically, people from mindanao are unaware of what is happening internationally is what being implied. I assume he's from Luzon. he just misses his old president wherein drugs was cheap and abundant because when duterte became president, drug prices skyrocketed. no wonder he's angry.
Luzon is now a province of China. Search who are the very rich there? Chinese families. Mall franchises, fast food, airlines, energy, oil, import & export, even politicians. 😅 Those who claim they are "Filipino" families that are also rich have major connections with mainland China as suppliers.
I'm a Filipino. My father was killed by an addict two months ago. Since then, I have this anger to illegal drugs and promise that papa's justice will be given. Even if it takes killing the addict, I no longer care with the burst of my emotion. I was never ready seeing my father on a 4 sided wooden box, cold and dead. I'm only 15, too young to lose a part of me, my father. And I hope addict's family is aware what danger an addict can do.
I 100% respect you. There's nothing more honorable than avenging the killing of a loved one. Good luck and make sure the killer pays. Although i suggest that you kill him instantly instead of torturing him, as you want to make sure that he dies and does not somehow escape or you get ambushed mid-torture.
The story in this report is very biased. As a Filipino, I'd have to say that the war on drugs generally went well. A lot of innocent citizens, including young children have been terrorized, robbed, raped or killed by drug addicts on the streets... it felt very unsafe to walk around at night. With Duterte's campaign against drugs, a lot of drug addicts willingly surrendered themselves and got rehabilitated.
Not because it went well for most does not mean that it has done good for the minority. A lot of innocent lives was also terrorized by the war on drugs, including children of course. Even police officers were proven guilty for violating human rights laws, isn't that enough reason to raise a red flag that this propaganda is unjust and unlawful? You cannot say it went well if what you can only see is what you choose to see. Also the rehabilitation program offered by the government at that time has been proven to be inefficient as it lacked enough preparation leaving most of those who surrenderred to battle their addiction on their own. Professional rehabilitation was also only available for those who were privilaged enough. Filipinos have over romantisized killings because they think that it's alright since the targets are drug addicts, but forgets that these targets are people too. Can't believe that the people of this countrt are mostly devoted christians🙄
@@lexisrei Yeah, but you also know that even God once command to kill too! It's really not a good to kill but when it's necessary for good of many others, I think it is justified. Note that Im talking about those police who were ordered by the Higher to kill those who are proven using or pushing drugs and that they only follow the given orders. As to what you're saying about other police who violates the human rights law(ya know, randomly shooting people without evidences of them using or selling drugs), I think they've just used these war on drugs to cover up their corruption.
You're only looking on the tip of the iceberg if you go deeply there are more truths that needed to be reveal and that was the lies of the PNP of course they want us to believe it went well but in my honest opinion it doesn't. It's basically a sacrifice they sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of promoting anti drug BS and of you agree with that doing you're not different from other people believing how cruel this country was.
Thats what i thought, how can they be so sure that theyre killing a drug user? And with that amount of money why cant i just randomly assume or just simply planting evidence on someone i killed?
As a citizen of Philippines who experienced the climate of fear and insecurity brought by the widespread drug problem, I would say this. There's a reason why Duterte is so well loved by the majority. He made massive improvement in peace and order, he brought back the sense of security among the citizenry.His legacy is very sold, and will be remembered as one of the great, if not the greatest Philippine president. No surprise that a liberal western media like Vice hate his guts.
no matter how great that bastard is, eradication of your own people is not a way to stop their habits. His legacy has and will have lots of blood on it.
@@KingLouis_ probably some, but the majority are innocent and at the most only deserve help. i guess in a struggling country with a baboon as dictator it's acceptable.
bullshit war on drugs = more dead people and more drugs open drug policy = less drug useres and less crime you can see everywhere in the world all the countries that have started open drug policies are having less drug users every yesr and than one that have started war on drugs have actually gained more drug users
Im not filipino but im with the president. If you dont want to be killed dont involved in any illegal drug activities. Mexico and usa drug problem is the perfect example if a country isnt serious on addressing this problem
I think the drug war is necessary but not the killing. But sooner or later the mexican cartels might make it here so killing might be justified… I don't want and i'm not ready to see cartel violence on my home country
@@Mrek_Travo what's the point of the war on drugs, it's been in effect since the the 80s, has it stopped drug addiction or reduced drug use in over 40 years? No, it's gone up. Prohibition doesn't work. Look at the alcohol prohibition, all that did was create a black market run by the Mafia. Making drugs illegal just pushes people to go to the black market and funds the cartel and organised crime. Plus both alcohol and tobacco are drugs, why are they okay. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs. Many die every day from it. But making it illegal would make things worse
Good that there is a very aggressive war against drugs in the Philippines. We don’t want to lose the young minds to drugs. The Philippines is a much safer country with many drug dealers eliminated
Pres. Duterte’s Drug war made PH more safer. I don’t want to go back where in Aquino’s term, a lot of drug addicts in streets, and most of the crimes like rape, holdups, etc are drug addicts.
Don't trust this video, this is a propaganda by the people who want to destroy the image of the Philippines and its government. This people doesn't want the Philippines to grow as a nation and be progressive.
Yeah let's slaughter them instead of fixing the problem it comes from which is poverty. Let's also keep drugs criminalised so that gangs make money from them instead of decriminalising them to stop them making money. Let's keep the gangs making the drugs so that they put other things in them so that they are more addictive and kill more people instead of them being made with regulations so they are less harmful. It's just a show of strength and not actually solving the problems from the root
As a Filipino living in it's soil I can totally say that I can definitely feel the effects of this war on drugs. A lot of drug users/pushers surrendered.Youths became more productive without the presence of drugs. I can walk in the road safely at night without worrying for some "tambay" or bystanders to harass you. Well, except right now due to some kidnappings but that's a different topic.
As a Filipino who had witnessed the drug users and pushers doing shady stuff in the open air (and the death of some of them due to the drug war) in our fairly big area , I feel that those addicts are back at their businesses again because there are these 'new' faces in our area that are really suspicious. Hot take: Duterte's drug war was a double-edged sword. It effectively cleaned and improved the way of life in our area since the addicts/pushers are always thinking about their lives and terrified every single day but it also took the lives of our poor and innocent countrymen who died because of negligence, stupidity and monstrosity of some of our policemen and the vigilantes who took matters into their own hands.
As a foreigner, I stayed in Philippine from time to time since 2015-2019, I can see a significant change in street safety. Before I need to be careful not to walk alone in some street of Makati, Quezon or Pasay, and have to be extra careful not to make a phone call on the street as one of my phone got snapped right on my face by a teenager before......Start from 2016, there are significant increase of police patrol on the street, slowly, I walk the street without any worry. Was smoking on the street one time in 2018, 2 quasi-policemen on a cycle stopped before me and asked me to stop smoking or I will face 5000 peso fine. I stopped smoking, they didn't fine me, instead, they remind me to take the cigarette butt with me and throw it in the bin, they left after wathing me threw the cigarette in a bin. Another true story was, I hired a grab taxi sometime on 2017, the driver speaks fluent English with American accent and looks quite strong. So I started a conversation with him asking him whether he lived in the US. The told me that he hadto come home to take care of his dad who got cancer, his brother, his sister in-law and his sister were on drug and lost the ability to work. So he have to gave up his US marine corp admission to return to the philippine to take care of his family. He is quite happy about the change and believe his siblings can come clean in rehab. I completely agree on the pros and cons comment regarding Duterte's policy. Same as any other policies, all of them has pros and cons as our society is complicated and filled with conflicting interests. The important thing is get things done. I didn't not see any shooting or open-street execution of drug dealers/users. I guess that's just a perk of being a foreigner in the Philippine. I feel pity for the innocent people who lost their lives due to the shooting. I also feel pity for the people who's lives ruined by drugs. Hopefully the new admin can keep the drug control policy, with less harsh punishment. But most importantly, make sure economy is developing and the benefit goes to normal people instead of a few big families. At the end of the day, If someone can find a job, make a living out of the decent job, no one would rather risk their life to sell/do drugs.
Those who fought back to the police were killed, but those who surrendered were sent to rehab centers. Those who were salvaged were the doings of rival drug Lords who fought each other for dominance in turf and territories.
I'm a Filipino who lives in Australia. Always scared to go back there but since Duterte elected as the Philippine president it was so peaceful. I never seen a white guy walking at night without getting mug. He did a good job.
Don't trust this video, this is a propaganda by the people who want to destroy the image of the Philippines and its government. This people doesn't want the Philippines to grow as a nation and be progressive.
I'm a Filipino and I'm not convinced by this video. Drug problem here in the Philippines is/was not "overstated" by Duterte as what the host/maker/reporter of this video wants you to believe. It is "REALLY" a "VERY SIGNIFICANT" issue. In fact, drugs here were sold like street food before, I have seen it myself. I've seen friends and neighbors who were hooked and were mentally affected due to this. If someone else other than Duterte won, I can't imagine what may had happened. Foreign media may have reported the Philippines as a country of crazy people or land of zombies. I challenge you to interview common citizens and not just those who are popularly were anti-Duterte. Rambo Talabong, whoever he is, doesn't know what he is saying (Not as bad?!). Someone so entitled to talk about, with a sarcastic tone, of being someone from Mindanao as being so insignificant. Why don't you visit other areas of the Philippines like Visayas and Mindanao and please try to, at least, dig in more to know how large the drug problem was/is in the Philippines before you jump into conclusions. Just weeks ago, many people were caught in the act of selling drugs here in our area. I have noticed that every time there's a victim of killing that is linked to drugs here in the Philippines, you put the blame to Duterte. We don't know how drug syndicates really work, so please let's give benefit of a doubt somehow. I want you to know that the majority here in the Philippines wanted to put an end to this drug problem that plagued this country. We don't want the Philippines to look like these: ua-cam.com/video/Ex1IFzTS1FI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/UWQ9L7p_4Bo/v-deo.html Vice News is from the US, am I right? Congratulations to you too!
Philippines are seen as stupid people after duterte . It's emberrassing . Other countries already used this methods long time ago and know it only makes it worse. But media controls Ur brain it's sad
The correspondent from Rappler is wrong. Duterte may be from Davao, but that does not mean he is "provincial". He's from an elite family, and the persona he projects is manicured as planned. That's the problem with people from emperial Manila, their feeling of superiority betray their own cause.
It's true before his Presidency the drugs is rampant, its in my neighborhood its in my family its within the community, the children using solvent everywhere from the streets, snatchers you can encounter even riding in PUJ's it's not safe at all but when President Duterte sats. The crimes decreased. I am not favor in killings but I do hope PBBM will continue the war against drugs.
Philippines is safer than ever. Majority of us Filipinos support the war on drugs regardless of the outcome. Media is one sided as ever. Those people you interviewed shouldn't speak in behalf of us! That's away from the reality. Better do your research Vice. Shame on you!
Why are they so supportive? This seems a bit extreme to an outside observer. And I’m from Brazil, they are getting tough on crime too but this seems like a murder campaign.
@@ElFeugo They are supportive because they are not educated. 70% of the economy lies on the top 10% of the population, and 10% of all Filipinos breathing on this earth lives overseas.

Things have not gotten better when it comes to crime and drugs since the Duterte administration's bloody "war on drugs", it seems more like a war on impoverished communities to me.

Don't trust this video, this is a propaganda by the people who want to destroy the image of the Philippines and its government. This people doesn't want the Philippines to grow as a nation and be progressive.
F human rights the Philippines before Duterte, it was heading a similar path to Mexico, and as for Kian my sympathy for him, apparently the corruption in the Philippines was underestimated, it was rotten to the core, I had to fight my own government to the justices and generals said Duterte, I visited a certain someone in Muntinlupa maximum security and when I got there I didn't feel the maximum security, I experienced a hotel for drug Lords inside the compound, please vice do not get your sources from the liberal side of the Philippines be fair.
Good report overall although saying "Duterte's own vice president" as some sort of authoritative source is disingenuous since in the Philippines political system the vice president is elected separately and Duterte's own VP was actually the leader of the opposition, Leni Robredo.
@@goodmythicalmukbang3757 did my research. A lot of surveys that indicate a negative rating for Robredo, such as PublicusAsia, are run by lobbyist DDS fanatics. Most of these surveys were done during the campaign period, where things were really starting to heat up between the parties. But oh well, I won't bother arguing with someone who believes surveys with questionable credibility 🤷 As for the toy soldiers, I don't play with them, otherwise you'd see my hands manipulate them for movement.

Wow vice, you guys really had to interview the most bias people you could ever get. I grew up in the streets of the Philippines in Mindanao specifically (21 years) before i migrated to the United States (now 30). The streets are covered with drugs and crime, and i am not exaggerating when i say that you can buy drugs outside of your home like its a common commodity. The guy that said "drugs isn't as rampant as the president thinks it is" is probably a person who lives in a gated community with a private vehicle that has never hit the streets; He even talked about how Pres. Duterte is from Mindanao like he's looking down on it, a very common thing where people from the North thinks Mindanao is inferior to them. Well, let me tell you this, Davao City (where Duterte was a Mayor) used to be the biggest Criminal city in the Philippines. Killings, drugs, kidnapping, etc. you name it. It used to be the "throwing of dead bodies town" before he was elected and swept everything and made it the SAFEST city in the Philippines, can you imagine? We support him because us middle aged and older people know the harsh reality of the Philippines, as we have been under so many "diplomatic" leaders before who only cared how they looked in the statistics for their political ambitions. This is the kind of leader we need, we need to bring the hammer not just soft slaps on the wrists, its proven to never work. Edit: Btw, he gave the cartels, drug lords, drug pushers and users 2 months to surrender/stop their operations and some chose their fate. An example of this would be the Ozamis City Mayor and his son, two of the biggest drug lords that remained in the Philippines during the drug war. They thought their political friends and connections could save them, they did not.
for me , i feel safe when Prrd's drug campaign was inforced , during his term , i can literally walk during night time without fear. PRRD is one of the best Presidents in the Phillipines.
I live in america now and i grew up in the philippines even went back a few times during dutuerte. Yes its brutal and fucked up but theres this support for it locally. The law and order that people crave and need vs human rights. I agree with both. But the philippines isnt like america. Democracy there is won with money and so is everything else. That being said under dutuerte the country havent seen such good growth economically(prior covid) there is this vibe to get things rights within my people and hopefully we will. Drugs are drugs and crime comes along with drugs and poverty. Poverty really drives all this.
The growth prior COVID was expected because the previous administration laid the groundwork. Duterte was just facilitating the ribbon cutting ceremonies of projects green-lit by the previous government. You cannot say that growth is also inclusive. Not even in the previous administrations.
@@cofiboi The Duterte administration sustained economic growth AND expanded infrastructure spending and projects, from 2-3% on average under the Aquino Admin, to 5-6% on average within the Duterte Administration. Ribbon Cutting my @ss, when there are new road, rail, and utilities projects such as the MRT-9, MRT-4, NSCR, SLEX TR4 and more that are ongoing-construction or at engineering feasibility stages.
@@cofiboi Furthermore, the national poverty line decreased from 23% to 16.7% from 2015 to 2018, increasing to 18% during the pandemic. The Duterte administration passed laws such as tje Foreign Investment Act, CREATE Law and other economic bills that has made our FDIs peaked in 2021.

3:16 "almost immediately people started dying" Criminals started dying , and yes there were cops who abused their powers and innocent people were caught in terms ceasefire , however the abusers are punished and the amount of collateral damage is minimal.
Liberals think it's OK to push mindaltering drugs into a society as long as the dealers pay tax for it, these ppl have sold their soul to the devil and worship money above all other things They think killing these criminals is bad bcuz criminals are victims in their twisted minds, criminals regardless of their background are ppl who made the wrong choice and therefore must pay for it, poverty isnt an excuse for criminality, plenty of poor ppl live without engaging in it
It's misleading to say "Even Duterte's own vice president ...." as some kinda gotcha moment. The vice president is elected separately from the president, and Leni Robredo, the vice president, is a member of the opposition.
Im a Filipino and Duterte’s Drug war made PH more safer. I don’t want to go back where in Aquino’s term, a lot of drug addicts in streets, and most of the crime like rape, holdups, etc are drug addicts.

it is sad , but the war on drugs was lost decades ago . from the streets to governments , it is out of control . the only way to beat it is to legalize them . and even that probably wont work .
Actually it does work! Even just decriminalizing them works! Look at Portugal and the Netherlands, obviously there is extra effort required, but it works better.
@@ghostsniperable353 imagine doing such obvious cherry picking and pretending it derails the whole argument. you can do better. im pretty sure deaths and relapses (mostly or all due to opioids) only rose for a short while because of the pandemic (which affected most other countries similarly btw, to varying degrees or not at all depending on the country's pandemic policy), it isn't fair to criticize Oregon's decriminalization policy on that basis when the factor of the pandemic has had such a huge impact on it, so your cherry pick really doesnt mean much in the big picture, plus the situation in Oregon still seems to have gotten better (namely before the pandemic). In general decriminalization and legalization (with education ofc) still works far better in the long run, especially if the government prepares and follows through well. portugal is a shining example of this, among others. It's just like with alcohol and cigarettes, or any substance really (and ofc there are many drugs with medical potential/usefulness).
@@rellik0098 I could see the potential in decriminalization of drugs in helping beat the drug epedemic. But then you could also look at countries like Singapore who just straight up kills anyone with the smallest amounts of drugs, yet they don't have high amounts of drug addicts. You could also argue that decriminalizing drugs won't automatically solve everything as Portugal and Netherlands are still vastly different countries with different culture and values as the Philippines, so the same methods won't always mean the same outcome. No hate here, but these are just genuine concerns because I believe what works in one country won't always work in another.
President duterte was the best among leaders who strengthen the fight against drugs syndicate # hats off ,were very proud of him these kind of strong leadership,felt safe to live
5:20 hey hey hey!! what is wrong being from mindanao? im not from mindanao myself but as a Filipino myself, your statement has something between the lines. what do you think of people from mindanao? barbaric? what a very good way of stereotyping. and about drugs? its that rampant before he came. you should be from a above average family or unfamiliar with the life in the slums and streets. before duterte came drug is so common and sold almost just like as common as cigarettes and alcohol. duterte was right about the drug issue. but i can say 6 years for him wasnt enough and drugs are still rampant in our country and those people who stayed low in the last 6 years have awaken again to spread their dark bussiness since they know the former president's term is gonna end soon. Marcos should continue duterte's campaign but he should also divide his focus to some issues too like education, health, economy, and military.
drug is so rampant that it is the only possible way!! 6 years is a very short time for a president to make a change. and the president cannot run again for another presidential term after his term. he has only 6 years and he has a problem to solve that is so big and have been estabilished decades ago. he may have failed his campaign but he made a very big change. he was the man closest to or rather had the highest success over drug issues eventhough his campaign failed. if he resort to rehabs, the rehabs are so small and the patients would be i guess maybe 10 times than the max capacity the country could handle. if he build new rehabs then it would took him more time and rehab itself is a very long process that consumes a lot of time and yet the success rate of rehab is very low since there have been so many cases of rehab patients that after the "treatment" they just go back to doing drugs again.
people of the Philippines often notices the mistakes but always disregard the success part. they always like to criticize but cant do a realistic solution. they always base on there theories where they criticize the dids but cant prove themselves to be better. if you think you can do better war on drugs then why run for presidency yourself and have the same campaign of war on drugs but on your preferred way. duterte may have failed, he didnt totally eradicated drugs but atleast he made a little of change and spark feared and knowledge to the public about drugs. Duterte made so may good projects outside of drugs like housing projects and he did it fast. if he fails, its not all because of him, some of the officer and the killers are just lazy to their job and just framed some innocent people. but its not a direct order to a specific person by the president himself. just like the late president marcos was called a dictator. he was bashed because of the martial law and the killings he didnt do himself. he may have been the one to command a martial law but he didnt command specifically who to kill. if his goons are the one who failed, its not directly his fault but he should be accountable too but not to the point that he should be solely taking the blame. he proclaimed martial law on purpose. the NPAS that time cannot be handle easily anymore. and about the human rights violation of those 2 president? how about the achievements they accomplished? gonna be taken for granted just because they made mistakes? or some of their profects failed? during martial law if you dont eanna end up dead then stay at home during curfew hours and they are no chances you will be killed. if you have been killed or captured then you should have disobeyed the law about curfew and you would be suspicious bcoz you broke a rule. its funny how the west barks about human rights violations when they themselves are one of the experts when it comes to eradicating human populations. west love to rule even for countries they dont own. west love to conquer places to sip their resources dry and leave them poor. west want other countries have civil and micro wars so they could sell military equipments for a living. america cant solve their drug problem so why bother the other countries? EU was the origin of conquesting other nations and violated human rights the most. why bother joining our problems here when you cannot solve your own and why bother accused as of things when you guys did it better before. those "Filipino" who worship the west just have colonialized mindset. Duterte was right all along about the west. that is why he remained neutral because he know you guys well and having you as "allies" benifits you while joining us in conflicts we should be out to. why join a faction that would make you have enemies too if you can stay neutral and befriend all. especially we as a country has no enough firepower to compete. why join a game you know you cant win, atleast not yet.

Its funny how most of these people who say the drug problem in the Philippines is exaggerated are also those who live comfortably in their condominium units and subdivisions where they are always safe!LOL I definitely feel safer during the term of Duterte coz the streets feel more safer specially going out at night and the addicts and criminals are afraid to go out which is just right coz law abiding citizens should feel safe in their community and not worry about their safety.
And foreigners living here kind of critical of it are those who live in tourist/expat "bubbles"...
Yeah maybe because if the drug problem in the Philippines is not exaggerated then people who are living in safe places and condo units would feel it also.
Primary example is Mexico, Drug and cartels are a problem there and everyone knows and feels it. It’s not the case in the Philippines though, as you’ve said; you have to be not living in condo and safe places to feel the drug problem.

Before duterte became president. You cant even walk the street at night without worrying if you're going get robbed or killed. When he became president it all change.

@@SomePotato do you live in the ph?
It becomes problematic when students and the 'intelligentsia' are framed for crimes which they did not commit and are indiscriminately killed, look at the case of Kian Delos Santos for example.
Moreover, it's also problematic when students, journalists, and other credible people alike are targeted with death threats for exposing the corruption and abuse of power present in the administration.
Imagine living in a state where authoritarian "peace" is present but socioeconomic prosperity and social justice is absent due to the administration targeting and killing off the people responsible for improving the state of our economy and in upholding justice and social equitability within the country.
Nonetheless, I do agree that the previous administration was effective in decreasing the rate of petty crimes and substance abuse among the general population; however, it failed to combat and erradicate the systemic problem of corruption, organized crime, and inadeqaute social welfare services which made the aforementioned petty crimes and drug abuse possible in the first place.

Indonesia had something like this back in the 80s. Look up "Petrus Killings". Petrus is a portmanteau for "Penembak Misterius" ("Mysterious Shooter"). Allegedly it was masterminded by the military. An extrajudicial killing activity to eradicate gangs and their members. Their methods were...."cartel like". There's a story of a local gang leader who heard knocks on his door late at night, in front of his door was a sticky rice sack, opened it and there was a head of a rival gang leader with a note that said "leave town, else it's your turn next".
My guess is these gang members killed wouldn't comply so they had to be told who's boss. That one gang leader perhaps had a family member in the higher-ups so he was let go. It worked. After that the government was the biggest gang out there. Everybody else had to pay tribute.
The Drug Problem is not an exaggeration,it’s real how rampant it is on the streets.I reckon now it would be even worse with the rise of social media. Closer to it with just one chat away.
I was even shocked that my younger brother’s classmates were using it.At my own College,a friend of mine admitted using it.
I grew up listening to crimes perpetrated by using drugs. I was recently heartbroken when I learned a case of a child raped and killed by two teenagers close of age to the victim! They were just neighbors!
If it is not rampant, how in the world two teenagers can afford and find it? We were not even allowed to have chemicals used in making drugs in our chemistry labs and two teenage boys of slums are two corners away from purchasing it?
I remember it being the norm, pre Duterte times. If you see someone doing it, you will be the one to have to be quiet and not tell anyone what you see. You are more scared than the drug users. And taking it makes you someone "cool", something you can brag.
I didn't vote for BBM and Duterte's daughter because I believe corruption in Duterte's govt. is more rampant compared to previous admin and that's saying a lot.....However crimes has dramatically gone down because most of the criminals got killed since majority of them use drugs.....I can still remember how surreal it is when thousands of drug users/dealers surrenders voluntarily during the firsr days of Duterte's presidency....I have around 7 close relatives who use drugs who are now clean and living a normal life , this is all thanks to the real threat of them being killed if they don't stop using.

Do a survey on how many drug addicts reformed themselves even without going to rehab center. I had cousins and in-laws changing their lives because of war on drugs.
Most crimes are drug related... And no county can grow economically if crimes are rampant.
But it does more harm has been done than good, countless abuses by the police has been reported such as kian's death. An alleged druglord has been seen in pictures with the former president which led to numerous accusation of what is the real goal of the war on drugs.

@@Ronaldo-eu1nz yo reported!
unfortunately for this video, it never accounted the number of victims of rape, massacres, robbery which are related to drug usage. before duterte presides as president, it is literally too rampant for street crimes that you might fear to walk outside during night. there are snatching of jewelries mostly earrings bracelets and watches, also wallets and mobile phones. and as soon as duterte made that iron fist, it drastically changed for the safety of majority of the population specially in the metro manila.
Research more and sway on protecting De Lima, because she was the protector of drug kingpins, in which she was previous justice secretary yet on her time, the drug lab inside the national prison was well kept hidden on the public knowledge until duterte admin exposed such thing.
Vice should determine the other face of the story instead of one sided blabbering of filipino "correspondents" who are leftist activists. these activists are the destabilizers and are power hungry, they are always active on negative propagandas. while the majority are silent not because of fear but satisfied with the govt actions. the trust rating of duterte will show how much he had done for the better of the country. also, look how this "correspondent/activist" created story interconnecting the new presidency, to throw mud and tag as evil, about the war on drugs, yet it is the authority of the police to apprehend drug supplies. 🤷
don't be fooled by these individuals Vice, they are the real wolves on Lambs cloak.

I'm a Filipino. My father was killed by an addict two months ago. Since then, I have this anger to illegal drugs and promise that papa's justice will be given. Even if it takes killing the addict, I no longer care with the burst of my emotion. I was never ready seeing my father on a 4 sided wooden box, cold and dead. I'm only 15, too young to lose a part of me, my father. And I hope addict's family is aware what danger an addict can do.
I 100% respect you. There's nothing more honorable than avenging the killing of a loved one. Good luck and make sure the killer pays. Although i suggest that you kill him instantly instead of torturing him, as you want to make sure that he dies and does not somehow escape or you get ambushed mid-torture.
The story in this report is very biased. As a Filipino, I'd have to say that the war on drugs generally went well. A lot of innocent citizens, including young children have been terrorized, robbed, raped or killed by drug addicts on the streets... it felt very unsafe to walk around at night. With Duterte's campaign against drugs, a lot of drug addicts willingly surrendered themselves and got rehabilitated.
Agree with u in there.
Yup
Not because it went well for most does not mean that it has done good for the minority. A lot of innocent lives was also terrorized by the war on drugs, including children of course. Even police officers were proven guilty for violating human rights laws, isn't that enough reason to raise a red flag that this propaganda is unjust and unlawful? You cannot say it went well if what you can only see is what you choose to see. Also the rehabilitation program offered by the government at that time has been proven to be inefficient as it lacked enough preparation leaving most of those who surrenderred to battle their addiction on their own. Professional rehabilitation was also only available for those who were privilaged enough. Filipinos have over romantisized killings because they think that it's alright since the targets are drug addicts, but forgets that these targets are people too. Can't believe that the people of this countrt are mostly devoted christians🙄
@@lexisrei Yeah, but you also know that even God once command to kill too! It's really not a good to kill but when it's necessary for good of many others, I think it is justified. Note that Im talking about those police who were ordered by the Higher to kill those who are proven using or pushing drugs and that they only follow the given orders. As to what you're saying about other police who violates the human rights law(ya know, randomly shooting people without evidences of them using or selling drugs), I think they've just used these war on drugs to cover up their corruption.
You're only looking on the tip of the iceberg if you go deeply there are more truths that needed to be reveal and that was the lies of the PNP of course they want us to believe it went well but in my honest opinion it doesn't. It's basically a sacrifice they sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of promoting anti drug BS and of you agree with that doing you're not different from other people believing how cruel this country was.
$100 per user, $300 per dealer, I mean come on...and then the lawyers and defence of these people with death treats. Enough said.

And with that amount of money why cant i just randomly assume or just simply planting evidence on someone i killed?

As a citizen of Philippines who experienced the climate of fear and insecurity brought by the
widespread drug problem, I would say this. There's a reason why Duterte is so well loved by the majority. He made massive improvement in peace and order, he brought back the sense of security among the citizenry.His legacy is very sold, and will be remembered as one of the great, if not the greatest Philippine president. No surprise that a liberal western media like Vice hate his guts.

open drug policy = less drug useres and less crime
you can see everywhere in the world all the countries that have started open drug policies are having less drug users every yesr and than one that have started war on drugs have actually gained more drug users

That is the most ignorant thing ive ever saw.

@@Mrek_Travo what's the point of the war on drugs, it's been in effect since the the 80s, has it stopped drug addiction or reduced drug use in over 40 years? No, it's gone up. Prohibition doesn't work. Look at the alcohol prohibition, all that did was create a black market run by the Mafia. Making drugs illegal just pushes people to go to the black market and funds the cartel and organised crime. Plus both alcohol and tobacco are drugs, why are they okay. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs. Many die every day from it. But making it illegal would make things worse
Not serious about addressing the problem? The USA has the highest prison population per capita due to drug arrests

As a Filipino I like it when the new President continue the War on Drugs!
Yeah let's slaughter them instead of fixing the problem it comes from which is poverty. Let's also keep drugs criminalised so that gangs make money from them instead of decriminalising them to stop them making money. Let's keep the gangs making the drugs so that they put other things in them so that they are more addictive and kill more people instead of them being made with regulations so they are less harmful. It's just a show of strength and not actually solving the problems from the root
As a Filipino living in it's soil I can totally say that I can definitely feel the effects of this war on drugs. A lot of drug users/pushers surrendered.Youths became more productive without the presence of drugs. I can walk in the road safely at night without worrying for some "tambay" or bystanders to harass you. Well, except right now due to some kidnappings but that's a different topic.
I am also a filipino living here and the death of innocents in this war on drugs are a lot and there is no justice.
@@MG-mq1ug there's always pros and cons.
As a Filipino who had witnessed the drug users and pushers doing shady stuff in the open air (and the death of some of them due to the drug war) in our fairly big area , I feel that those addicts are back at their businesses again because there are these 'new' faces in our area that are really suspicious.
Hot take: Duterte's drug war was a double-edged sword. It effectively cleaned and improved the way of life in our area since the addicts/pushers are always thinking about their lives and terrified every single day but it also took the lives of our poor and innocent countrymen who died because of negligence, stupidity and monstrosity of some of our policemen and the vigilantes who took matters into their own hands.
@@user-ge5ew1cw3r exactly, pros and cons
As a foreigner, I stayed in Philippine from time to time since 2015-2019, I can see a significant change in street safety. Before I need to be careful not to walk alone in some street of Makati, Quezon or Pasay, and have to be extra careful not to make a phone call on the street as one of my phone got snapped right on my face by a teenager before......Start from 2016, there are significant increase of police patrol on the street, slowly, I walk the street without any worry.
Was smoking on the street one time in 2018, 2 quasi-policemen on a cycle stopped before me and asked me to stop smoking or I will face 5000 peso fine. I stopped smoking, they didn't fine me, instead, they remind me to take the cigarette butt with me and throw it in the bin, they left after wathing me threw the cigarette in a bin.
Another true story was, I hired a grab taxi sometime on 2017, the driver speaks fluent English with American accent and looks quite strong. So I started a conversation with him asking him whether he lived in the US. The told me that he hadto come home to take care of his dad who got cancer, his brother, his sister in-law and his sister were on drug and lost the ability to work. So he have to gave up his US marine corp admission to return to the philippine to take care of his family. He is quite happy about the change and believe his siblings can come clean in rehab.
I completely agree on the pros and cons comment regarding Duterte's policy. Same as any other policies, all of them has pros and cons as our society is complicated and filled with conflicting interests. The important thing is get things done.
I didn't not see any shooting or open-street execution of drug dealers/users. I guess that's just a perk of being a foreigner in the Philippine. I feel pity for the innocent people who lost their lives due to the shooting. I also feel pity for the people who's lives ruined by drugs.
Hopefully the new admin can keep the drug control policy, with less harsh punishment. But most importantly, make sure economy is developing and the benefit goes to normal people instead of a few big families. At the end of the day, If someone can find a job, make a living out of the decent job, no one would rather risk their life to sell/do drugs.
As a filipino. I can testify that drug war really reduces malnutrition.
Also the dropping crime rates.

Drug problem here in the Philippines is/was not "overstated" by Duterte as what the host/maker/reporter of this video wants you to believe. It is "REALLY" a "VERY SIGNIFICANT" issue. In fact, drugs here were sold like street food before, I have seen it myself. I've seen friends and neighbors who were hooked and were mentally affected due to this.
If someone else other than Duterte won, I can't imagine what may had happened. Foreign media may have reported the Philippines as a country of crazy people or land of zombies.
I challenge you to interview common citizens and not just those who are popularly were anti-Duterte. Rambo Talabong, whoever he is, doesn't know what he is saying (Not as bad?!). Someone so entitled to talk about, with a sarcastic tone, of being someone from Mindanao as being so insignificant.
Why don't you visit other areas of the Philippines like Visayas and Mindanao and please try to, at least, dig in more to know how large the drug problem was/is in the Philippines before you jump into conclusions. Just weeks ago, many people were caught in the act of selling drugs here in our area.
I have noticed that every time there's a victim of killing that is linked to drugs here in the Philippines, you put the blame to Duterte. We don't know how drug syndicates really work, so please let's give benefit of a doubt somehow.
I want you to know that the majority here in the Philippines wanted to put an end to this drug problem that plagued this country.

Wow vice, you guys really had to interview the most bias people you could ever get. I grew up in the streets of the Philippines in Mindanao specifically (21 years) before i migrated to the United States (now 30). The streets are covered with drugs and crime, and i am not exaggerating when i say that you can buy drugs outside of your home like its a common commodity. The guy that said "drugs isn't as rampant as the president thinks it is" is probably a person who lives in a gated community with a private vehicle that has never hit the streets; He even talked about how Pres. Duterte is from Mindanao like he's looking down on it, a very common thing where people from the North thinks Mindanao is inferior to them. Well, let me tell you this, Davao City (where Duterte was a Mayor) used to be the biggest Criminal city in the Philippines. Killings, drugs, kidnapping, etc. you name it. It used to be the "throwing of dead bodies town" before he was elected and swept everything and made it the SAFEST city in the Philippines, can you imagine? We support him because us middle aged and older people know the harsh reality of the Philippines, as we have been under so many "diplomatic" leaders before who only cared how they looked in the statistics for their political ambitions.
This is the kind of leader we need, we need to bring the hammer not just soft slaps on the wrists, its proven to never work.
Edit: Btw, he gave the cartels, drug lords, drug pushers and users 2 months to surrender/stop their operations and some chose their fate. An example of this would be the Ozamis City Mayor and his son, two of the biggest drug lords that remained in the Philippines during the drug war. They thought their political friends and connections could save them, they did not.
they really did choose the most bias of all for their interview

very funny, almost all Filipinos, except for the fools, hate biased news like this one
of course you find this funny, psychopaths like you probably also voted for Marcos lol
3:16 "almost immediately people started dying"
Criminals started dying , and yes there were cops who abused their powers and innocent people were caught in terms ceasefire , however the abusers are punished and the amount of collateral damage is minimal.
Liberals think it's OK to push mindaltering drugs into a society as long as the dealers pay tax for it, these ppl have sold their soul to the devil and worship money above all other things
They think killing these criminals is bad bcuz criminals are victims in their twisted minds, criminals regardless of their background are ppl who made the wrong choice and therefore must pay for it, poverty isnt an excuse for criminality, plenty of poor ppl live without engaging in it
It's misleading to say "Even Duterte's own vice president ...." as some kinda gotcha moment.
The vice president is elected separately from the president, and Leni Robredo, the vice president, is a member of the opposition.
Does that make her less credible when data from independent sources agree with her?
@@cofiboiyes, since she has her own skeletons in the closet.
I agree it’s not a good argument. But that fact that Amnesty International is talking about it is a shame for PH.
@@CryptocurrencyInsider oh no amnesty international.i'm shaking in laughter right now.
Under the dictator shadows all the verms eat and rise
Im a Filipino and Duterte’s Drug war made PH more safer. I don’t want to go back where in Aquino’s term, a lot of drug addicts in streets, and most of the crime like rape, holdups, etc are drug addicts.
Saying the late pres. marcos a dictator is a huge disrespect to majority of the filipino people. Majority of the filipino like 90% supports the marcos.
No we fucking don't
@@bignerd5529 because you are part of the minority. Majority of the Filipino people support the Marcos.
Please do a South African version for this. Our drug, gang and party scene is really like none other and deserves way more light shed on it, amongst other topics here.
where could one start?
They won't since it contradicts their agenda.
i think its kinda brutal even if its just "light shed"
It's againts their agenda
@@JoshuaEricSViana please explain this "agenda"
when i saw de lima in the video i didnt continue watching hahahah
come to the philippines and tell your stories to people who suffer because of drug addicts
This guy from rapper going about and saying things like he really knows what's going on, his not the one that's IN front of a gun getting robbed. most probably innocent to such acts being raised in a perfect world. that's not how it works in the real world. how about staying in a place that's riddled with criminality and drugs for a time and lets see if you still have the same views
Ignorant might be more apt... Rappler is such a waste...
I'm a Filipino and i stand with Duterte ❤️❤️
i wish we have this in California. zombies everywhere. school bus stops, outside schools. you can even watch videos on youtube if you don't believe me
Duterte!
Duterte!
Duterte! Duterte!
We love Duterte!
I dont care what other countries think of him
We filipinos love him and respect his decisions
Can't respect a decision especially when innocent lices are being taken.
@@iwatanichamo1607 innocent?
Whatever youve seen on the internet about our country under Duterte administration is false
They are showing our country to others false information
No innocent lives are being taken
@@Vergil4093 explain kian delo santos.
@@Vergil4093 articles and documentaries from respected journalist cover the killing of kian delo santos and yet you're saying that it's just an internet rumor. no wonder why philippine is doomed because of people like you.
just because you're not affected by the storm doesn't mean you will support atrocities among the poor's.
I'm not against Duterte but please stop the killing of the innocents. There maybe good things PNP has done to the country but is you compare that to the bad things they have done. You'll finally accept the truths.
@@iwatanichamo1607 corrupted cops
Respect Duterte. He really thought of Philippine Nation.
Sometimes Violence is necessary to subdue Violence. If the government will continue to tolerate such illegal behaviour, it will be a much bigger problem and will affect every family, especially the children's future ans ultimately the nation's.
And for you to call it the "DEADLIEST" drug war, where's that number coming from? From those organizations that shuts their mouth when a child is raped or an entire family killed by an illegal drugs user??
😎As long as you are smart, rich, & powerful you can do whatever you want anymore!... Everyone is spineless these days!.... 😵🤯🥶
In from philipines, you can live her peacefully if you are not trouble maker and not doing illegal actvity. and you be dead if you are trouble maker and you are active in illegal activity. This time i feel safe everywhere or anywhere i go, even daytime or nightime. Unlike before the war on drug had has happened.
You talking bout urself. That’s the problem with people nowadays. As long they are sleeping safe and well in their homes, everything’s okay. People lack of empathy
@@gelozodd no empthany to drug user and pusher yes who usually involve in criminal activity yes.
@@waldomaghanoy3384 and are you 100% all of those are drug users or just bait/decoy for simple minded people like you?
@@gelozodd drugs destroy human that human will kill another human, you'll save one and kill one infested
@@waldomaghanoy3384 lack of empathy. Dude you are not human. Theres a chance for these people to be rehabilitated instead of being killed. You just proved my point. Be human
by sorting through the comments by newest first, it is evident that this country has a moral crisis
Yep
Where you from bro?
Dang immediately when I saw that Rappler so called "journalist" well I already know what his views will be on the matter
I still do agree that war on drugs continues..
Ibalik nyo kasi ang Firing Squad.. nung panahon ni PFEM mula ng ma-Firing Squad si Lim Seng natahimik ang bansa pero nung inalis ng sumunod na adik na admin bumalik ang mga drug dealers at pusher..
Rich drug users were barely touched. This was mainly directed at the working class.
If you smoke cigs which have nicotine you are on drugs why weren’t the cops killing cops?
Not in the Philippines.
@@tobiisiba1641 the few people that were targeted in rich areas typically went through standard arrests, not getting shot at the door like in poor areas. So yes, it is in the Philippines.
@@MomJeans1738 yes of course u cant just shot or kill on gates community/condos its a private property not on slums
@@antman6664 getting shot at your home in the slums is also on private property as well
This guy straight up killed the poorest and most vulnerable in the country.
Meh, there were cases of rich drug lords getting arrested, but it will not get that much views.
@@pongangelo2048 you said it yourself.
Rich people get arrested.
Poor people on the other hand, they get executed on site.
@@dogzs11 6 mayors already died and plenty of narco supporters died including police.. The media just highlights the poor people which is the most problem because they rob and rape when they are high
They should just decriminalize drugs and regulate it. This bloody war on drugs is anti poor and riddled with police brutality.
Look at California
it is sad , but the war on drugs was lost decades ago . from the streets to governments , it is out of control . the only way to beat it is to legalize them . and even that probably wont work .
Actually it does work! Even just decriminalizing them works! Look at Portugal and the Netherlands, obviously there is extra effort required, but it works better.
@@rellik0098 No it doesn't, Oregon did and deaths from drugs rose 43%.
@@ghostsniperable353 imagine doing such obvious cherry picking and pretending it derails the whole argument. you can do better. im pretty sure deaths and relapses (mostly or all due to opioids) only rose for a short while because of the pandemic (which affected most other countries similarly btw, to varying degrees or not at all depending on the country's pandemic policy), it isn't fair to criticize Oregon's decriminalization policy on that basis when the factor of the pandemic has had such a huge impact on it, so your cherry pick really doesnt mean much in the big picture, plus the situation in Oregon still seems to have gotten better (namely before the pandemic). In general decriminalization and legalization (with education ofc) still works far better in the long run, especially if the government prepares and follows through well. portugal is a shining example of this, among others. It's just like with alcohol and cigarettes, or any substance really (and ofc there are many drugs with medical potential/usefulness).
@@rellik0098 duh, it does happen in Oregon really, so you invalidate what is happening in Oregon right now? Your pro-addiction bias is overflowing
@@rellik0098 I could see the potential in decriminalization of drugs in helping beat the drug epedemic. But then you could also look at countries like Singapore who just straight up kills anyone with the smallest amounts of drugs, yet they don't have high amounts of drug addicts. You could also argue that decriminalizing drugs won't automatically solve everything as Portugal and Netherlands are still vastly different countries with different culture and values as the Philippines, so the same methods won't always mean the same outcome. No hate here, but these are just genuine concerns because I believe what works in one country won't always work in another.
President duterte was the best among leaders who strengthen the fight against drugs syndicate # hats off ,were very proud of him these kind of strong leadership,felt safe to live
To all the cops who have given their lives. Rest easy, You will never be forgotten 🙏
5:20 hey hey hey!! what is wrong being from mindanao? im not from mindanao myself but as a Filipino myself, your statement has something between the lines. what do you think of people from mindanao? barbaric? what a very good way of stereotyping. and about drugs? its that rampant before he came. you should be from a above average family or unfamiliar with the life in the slums and streets. before duterte came drug is so common and sold almost just like as common as cigarettes and alcohol. duterte was right about the drug issue. but i can say 6 years for him wasnt enough and drugs are still rampant in our country and those people who stayed low in the last 6 years have awaken again to spread their dark bussiness since they know the former president's term is gonna end soon. Marcos should continue duterte's campaign but he should also divide his focus to some issues too like education, health, economy, and military.
drug is so rampant that it is the only possible way!! 6 years is a very short time for a president to make a change. and the president cannot run again for another presidential term after his term. he has only 6 years and he has a problem to solve that is so big and have been estabilished decades ago. he may have failed his campaign but he made a very big change. he was the man closest to or rather had the highest success over drug issues eventhough his campaign failed. if he resort to rehabs, the rehabs are so small and the patients would be i guess maybe 10 times than the max capacity the country could handle. if he build new rehabs then it would took him more time and rehab itself is a very long process that consumes a lot of time and yet the success rate of rehab is very low since there have been so many cases of rehab patients that after the "treatment" they just go back to doing drugs again.
people of the Philippines often notices the mistakes but always disregard the success part. they always like to criticize but cant do a realistic solution. they always base on there theories where they criticize the dids but cant prove themselves to be better. if you think you can do better war on drugs then why run for presidency yourself and have the same campaign of war on drugs but on your preferred way. duterte may have failed, he didnt totally eradicated drugs but atleast he made a little of change and spark feared and knowledge to the public about drugs. Duterte made so may good projects outside of drugs like housing projects and he did it fast. if he fails, its not all because of him, some of the officer and the killers are just lazy to their job and just framed some innocent people. but its not a direct order to a specific person by the president himself. just like the late president marcos was called a dictator. he was bashed because of the martial law and the killings he didnt do himself. he may have been the one to command a martial law but he didnt command specifically who to kill. if his goons are the one who failed, its not directly his fault but he should be accountable too but not to the point that he should be solely taking the blame. he proclaimed martial law on purpose. the NPAS that time cannot be handle easily anymore. and about the human rights violation of those 2 president? how about the achievements they accomplished? gonna be taken for granted just because they made mistakes? or some of their profects failed? during martial law if you dont eanna end up dead then stay at home during curfew hours and they are no chances you will be killed. if you have been killed or captured then you should have disobeyed the law about curfew and you would be suspicious bcoz you broke a rule. its funny how the west barks about human rights violations when they themselves are one of the experts when it comes to eradicating human populations. west love to rule even for countries they dont own. west love to conquer places to sip their resources dry and leave them poor. west want other countries have civil and micro wars so they could sell military equipments for a living. america cant solve their drug problem so why bother the other countries? EU was the origin of conquesting other nations and violated human rights the most. why bother joining our problems here when you cannot solve your own and why bother accused as of things when you guys did it better before. those "Filipino" who worship the west just have colonialized mindset. Duterte was right all along about the west. that is why he remained neutral because he know you guys well and having you as "allies" benifits you while joining us in conflicts we should be out to. why join a faction that would make you have enemies too if you can stay neutral and befriend all. especially we as a country has no enough firepower to compete. why join a game you know you cant win, atleast not yet.
Dont get shocked bro. Rappler is the one being interviewed very bias and one sided reporters hahahaha 🤡🤡🤡
I agree... Tagalogs really are racist to their own fellow filipino...
I disagree with this video...Why? You can't even handle drugs in the US yet you say that what president do and what majority of the people supported is barbaric?? it's better to cleanse the living of this addicts users,runners or sellers etc. pdea is better than US DEA...And that kid saying that he'll prepare for an exam HAHAH😂 no offense, if you just stayed home and actually prepared for the exam you won't be in that situation
Why are you pointing fingers at the usa, the person here is British, blame them.
@@mizu_awa2487 Yes the person is british, the channel is canadian-american...This countries don't even try to tolerate drugs, what like 7 years or 10 years in prison just to get back at it use or sell even more?
I don't understand why Filipino a proud christian nation would let this thing pass.
Homie should Google what has happened to those who were evil dictators, and realize someday his name will be among those who were brutally brought to justice.
You mean, they get to flee to a friendly nation with as much of their nation's wealth as they can carry? Because that's what the new president's parents did. They live in exile in the US.... with zero repercussions for what they did.
Seems iraq and libya are good examples hahahaha
Yeah tell that to people who actually saved your ass to live like China.
HAHAHAHAH
Well i bet you just Google-d about it.
Nothing in the Philippines can match the savagery of the haircut of the Vice presenter
Thanks PRRD. He is the best president. The crime rate really dropped. Sad now he stepped down, we hope that PBBM will do the same. You should explore and study more, the true life in the streets!! not just gossips from random rich kid. PRRD has the highest rating. means, majority of the people were so satisfied!!
If Duterte didn't win the presidency in 2016, maybe the Philippines would be like Kensington, Philadelphia.
Duterte and Marcos are both great leaders. We live in the Philippines.
Marcos was a criminal ,seriously are you for real. He used to let criminals operate for fees . He was a crook I know my uncle used to pay him off to run pot from the island
Dont call him son of former dictator, coz him father is not a dictator of this country
Mexico - Spanish colony
Philippines - Spanish colony
Wow Spain nice 👍🙂
Spain shouldn't colonise. They should stay in their homeland if they don't have a stable system. Failed empire
fr there's gotta be something on that colonization that made them so violent
Philippines is the promised land for the rich only South American countries are Philippines twin brothers
