I was thinking they would speak the national language of Tagalog but most of the people are speaking Bisayan so I had to read the translation in English. Tagalog is only spoken natively by people in Manila and the surrounding regions in Southern Luzon. So I agree it’s nice to see more diversity.
they're speaking Cebuano, no? It's very interesting to hear the Bisaya's point of view and not just the Tagalogs in Manila. Great job, Asian Boss! I'd volunteer but my city is not really relevant.
You can't educate those severely addicted to drugs dude. Are you saying that the government just let them in the streets?? LOL are you nuts? This is the 1st time our government did something about drugs, and you saying to just stop?
@@cngaming4831 Sigh...This is why you guys need a better educational system. You're thinking small picture and inside a small circle. Big changes take time. You can't fix a problem by putting bandaids on them. You need treatment. I should also mention that there are ways to rehabilitate druggies. There are tons of medication that rehabs and jails should be administering to the addicts for free. People do drugs to get away from reality. One big reason is because the quality of real life is bad. Improve the quality of life for the people to give less reasons for people to do drugs. Great, free or close to free education, improve the neighborhoods (city beautification policies) and incentives for doing good deeds. Do that and you'll have better educated politicians with real plans instead of one that thinks catching and killing druggies and sometimes innocent people.
@@cngaming4831 Simply killing druggies doesn't show compassion for the people. It just makes them scared and angry. People on meth don't act or respond like normal people. You gotta rehabilitate them.
@@meestaShin do you live here in the Philippines?? If you don't, don't act like you know what's happening here. If you're neighbourhood is infested by murderers and rapist you won't say that dude. I can understand you and your opinion. That must be the ideal answer to the problem BUT its different here man. I tell you.
In Mexico there was a "war against the narcotraphy" in the Calderon's presidency (2006-12). The results? chaos. The army was in the streets, a lot of business shutted down, the schools canceled classes for days, and the worst, there were murders all the days. My city was the most dangeroues city in the world for a long time... well, it's not the best now, but at the time was crazy. It's sad to see this happens in others places. A war against drug is not that easy, you know guilty and inocent people will die. I don't believe the sacrifice of this people is good enough to complete the goal.
You need to kill more to instill fear. That's why you guys are a narco state, you don't have willing vigilantes who sacrifice themselves to take the law into their hands.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 . "Sacrifice people for progress"... you know it could be you? There are innocent people dying because of the problem. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself or other innocent people you know "for progress"?
Omg it is so refreshing to hear Bisaya as opposed to Tagalog or taglish. I would love to hear all the different dialects in the Philippines and how it compares to Tagalog!
Tagalog has no use in Cebu. I'm not from Cebu (I'm from Davao) but I also speak Cebuano/Bisaya. Cebuano is a beautiful 'masculine' language compare to the effeminate tagalog.
@@janis_ well, you're entitled to your own opinion dzai. But for me, tagalog is a weird language and I rather communicate in English to non-Bisaya speakers or better, learn other Filipino languages. Luckily, I can understand Chavacano, Hiligaynon, and Waray. A true Filipino is not a tagalog-speaking Filipino but a MULTILINGUAL FILIPINO! kana lang.
@Philip Allen if you’re talking about the “islands” then it’ll be hard bec. der r other islands claimed by SEA countries which r part of that 9 dash line. And besides the chinese facilities r now erected on those islands and lotttts of militaries
can't do that, they'd get flagged because of that merit system they have where they give demerits to ppl who "cause bad behavior" should they speak against government policy.
@That one friend that genuinely enjoys Rick Astley I'm really good Sir? I'm a Law Abiding Citizen and don't give a Fu** if being called Names as such of what you've just mentioned. How about you? Are you doing good in this Nation? Well, if you do? You're Safe!
@That one friend that genuinely enjoys Rick Astley How could you be so sure that our Law Enforcers or Authorities are all the Same? Why did you put judgement to all of them as if you already been into a Real Situation where you become their Victim? Hahaha... I don't really know what you've been through.. but it seems you're once been a Victim and Demand for a Justice from it? 😂 Yeah! Definitely, there are Corrupted Law Enforcers and all that stuffs, and we cannot get rid of them right easily. But for the least, we, as the Law Abiding People in this Country we should be more cautious not to get into a situation where the Cops can take advantage of us. Like don't do Drugs so we can't be framed up something like that. Cops won't take advantage on you if you Avoided to Commit certain Crimes even the pity ones. They cannot point fingers on you when you don't have any Records from their Crime List. That's just so Funny and Lame excuses and reasoning for Hating our Cops and saying our Cops kills for no certain enough reasons? They are not that Dumb Folk! I guess, you've watched too much Fake and False News from the Paid Mainstream Media specifically ABIAS-CBN which is also one of the "Asian Boss" Handler. 😂
Majority of the Filipinos love Duterte.. But in the sense of BALANCED JOURNALISM and a dash of ASIAN BOSS LIBERAL PROPAGANDA they obviously put some ILL INFORMED INTERVIEWEES for opposite and different views and opinions..
Jepnahid currently writing a paper on this and comparing it to Portugal’s drug decriminalization tactics. Just because the crime rate went down, doesn’t mean the drug problem is being solved. Interestingly murder rates sky rocketed but it’s difficult to get hard data due to the Philippine police manipulating the numbers. I come from a country where drug wars like this have been going on for decades, and to no avail. Duarte can kill all he wants, but drugs will still be prominent due to demand, money, and poverty. You have to get to the root of the problem. Start asking yourselves, why do people feel the need to drugs in the first place?
Private schools are better because they're better managed. Public schools are better at university level but in basic education? That's not the case at all. I'm talking generally here as there are a lot of public schools better than private schools just that there's more knowledgeable people coming out from private schools.
@@jameschristophercirujano6650 all of my classmates are studying now at UP, UST, and Ateneo. We graduated from public high school. How you could say that private is better than public. It depends how a person study.
I'm really glad that Asian Boss chose to cover this. I think it's important to focus on more serious issues. The last few posts have been a little bit fluffy.
Look... I myself, as a filipino, also want to help my country. But, as an 11 year old student, no matter how old you are, dont give up hope for our country. We can atleast pray that someone, or who knows, our president, can actually save the Philippines from drugs. Just being honest, I am living in Iloilo ( but I wasn't born there ) and they put up signs saying " this is a smoke free city ". But almost everywhere I look, us Filipinos are still smoking! We put up signs saying what would happen if smoking would continue, that we shoulden't do this or whatsoever. But. We. Still. Do. It. Our president, watching over the Philippines, making programmes, signing up files, documents etc. can actually be really stressful. But sometimes( just being honest here ) we Filipinos can forget how much it means to be in that position. Hey, dose anyone remember that time when President Duterte closed up Boracay? When we came back, look what happened. Being in a high position can give higher expectations to the community. So, as of what Spider-man said: "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" We must do our part in helping our country. No matter what age, how tall you are, how you you look, nor how people judge you. SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY!
Iloilo was once a smoke free city though. I've asked my friends about this and they said that in the term of previous mayor, smoking was illegal and tightly monitored. However, the current mayor did not continue this act.
True pero kung yung mga user na gumamit ay ng rape at pumatay i would rather put them on the ground and they can surrender and if they dont mamamatay sila ng maaga
Hey ASIAN BOSS, *MINDANAO* should be interviewed next for the issue "MARTIAL LAW" in our area here, on what we truly feel and think about it, for the people up there (luzon and visayas) to realize that their "assumptions" aren't always right. ;)
It's not assumptions, it is a fact. Indigenous people are being killed, specially Lumads. Normal citizens would not be affected. Stop with "Dahil di nangyayari sakin, I will not care" mentality.
@@justinkevinramirez4294 basta hindi sa mass media, I also listened to radio networks all the time and there you can find the cries of help from ordinary citizens. Ano ba tingin mo sa mga NPA? Mga inosente? Hindi papatay? They keep on pillaging money and properties from civilians nearest their vicinity and out of fear those civilians obeyed with no choice. Ikaw ata brainwashed dahil sa yellows and reds.
@AN Do you understand "lantaw" means? Bisaya language is actually vague. Like bulok bogo or yawa. Yawa is universal. Like yawaa ato uy (surprise), yawa (angry), yawaa nimo uy (na amaze), pisteng yawa (hahahah)
Lyndii Mey People are not cells and it was already proven many times that these "war on drugs" can only make temporary changes but not long term changes. Take Mexico and America's war on drugs, it was a failure in long term perspective (in short term too honestly - some mexican cities were a mess at the time). Not starting with how it's inhumane to kill addicted people who would have opportinities to get cured instead at developed countries and live a normal life.
Kill em and take them out of the system. You could save people into getting in illegal drugs by gettinh rid of those factors. Proven? Failure is the mother of success so we'll continue; kill if we have to.
We don't even know who truely killed those people. Could it be the police? Could it be other drug user or dealer? Was it a set up? Was it a Death Squad killing? Lots of things don't add up.
@@lenardregencia with all due respect, Cebuano is considered as a 'language' by Linguists and not as a Dialect. Tagalog and Cebuano are not mutually intelligible with each other. It's like Spanish and French, they are from the same language family-the romance languages-but not mutually intelligible with each other.
@@astraeusgodofthestars676 Sorry about that, what I mean is that Cebuano is different from Tagalog, Philippines has lots of Languages and Dialects, that's different from one another.
And you're any better for generalizing every people in manila for just that? Past interviews and this doesn't represent everyone's exact opinion on this..
Chelsy Nepomuceno the drug lord in our city was butchered. The mayoor behind him fled to honkong. Drugs use in iloilo city lessened. Effective so far in my city
I've been an Asian Boss subscriber for as long as I can remember. It's safe to say that Filipinos, along with Indians, have high English proficiency and are generally articulate in expressing themselves in English. Respect to both countries, from the USA.
The problem is most of senators are lawyers they’re lact of knowledge about marijuana. What we need are doctors or someone who has knowledge in medical field to educate senate about the effect of this herbs. We also need farmers in senate and other field.
The drug that is mostly abused and what they were talking about is meth/shabu. So we should legalize meth as well? And if the argument would be like if marijuana is legal then drug user would switch from meth to marijuana, there is no assurance even in that.
Winter Phoenix Personally, i think all forms of drugs should be decriminalized but the government should also put emphasis on rehabilitating drug addicts. Look at what Portugal is doing. They used to have a huge drug usage issue in the country and they thought that putting drug addicts in jail would solve the problem but it didn’t. But then they decriminalized all forms of drug usage and rehabilitated addicts which resulted in drug usage to decrease significantly
2 things, first is where will the government get the resources to fund the treatment of the millions of these users? From taxpayers again? As if it's not enough that these good for nothing politicians pocket half the fund designated for the betterment of the community. secondly, since drug use is decriminalized will that not allow for more people to try doing drugs knowing they are free from any legal accountability?
The Philippines is an amazing place. Such unique and diverse people and cultures. Some of the warmest and most welcoming people of this Earth, I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. If only the government could focus improving rural transportation, and accesses to remote areas, the lives of millions in the poorer provinces could be improved. I think that could also help to solve the drug crisis in a more "humane" manner, by giving poorer communities access to areas of opportunity. Also, Canada needs to follow through with their waste disposal deal... there are many people there trying so hard to keep their incredible islands nation clean, but they need outside help with this issue. Foreign countries are the ones importing the waste, for profit, so we need to help them get it off these islands. Some of the most important corals reefs are there, and also a large number of breathtaking world heritage sites. And I love The Philippines!
Kevin Troy if it's such a propaganda channel, why don't you watch content from other channels that align with your views so you won't be exposed to opinions that don't agree than your own?
Let's not forget that plenty children are born every day without two parents, financial support, not even room to live. There many teen mothers that get left. Prostitution and selling children might be as bad as drug sales.
Iceland did a good job preventing drug use by teenagers. I guess that's a good start. While I don't care much about drug dealers getting killed, I think that's a short-term path to solve the problem.
Before I watch this video, i just watch Nas daily video about drug addiction and it enlighten me and also make sense.. Yes, most of the drug users/small time pushers are from urban poor area.. the big factor is because of their (poor) environment like what the respondent said.. but for me in most cases, naging effective ang war against drugs na campaign ni Pres. DUTERTE. it is visible naman. Kung tutuusin kaya naman talaga maresolba ang drugs kung lahat tayo makikipag tulungan at susunod. And yes, they also need to focus sa pinaguugatan/pinagkukunan/supplier ng drugs. And tama rin ung sinabi ni kuyang respondent na si pres. Duterte is still human. We all make mistakes we all aren't perfect but still he make a move.. nasa next administration na yan kung ipagpapatuloy pa. Plus, lalong nahirapan si Mr. President na ipatupad yun dahil na din sa mga kapwa nya pulitiko na humaharang sa kanya imbis na suportahan sya. Pano nga naman nya magagawa ang trabaho nya kung mismong mga tagasunod nya ang humaharang sa kanya. Ilan ba ang mga pilipino?? Ilan ba ang presidente? Need natin makipagtulungan. Yung campaign na yun hndi lang yun para kay president.. para din satin yun. Masyado kse tayo nagiging close minded na porket sinabi nya na within 6mos. Wala na yan e dapat ganun mangyayari to think na hindi naman tayo nakikipag tulungan :) Isipin nyo pag drug users ang namatay ang ingay ingay ng chr. Pero kapag sibilyan ang napatay dahil pinatay/nirape ng drug user tahimik sila. So ano meaning nun? :) Just expressing my thoughts. Moral lesson dito. Kung gustonnatin maging successful ang isang campaign makipag tulungan tayo. wag puro asa at turo ng turo ..
I think the best way is to ask the user themselves, mainly because they're the ones involved in the situation. We would be able to listen to their insights and their suggestions from the users, victims, and the perpetrator. We would be able to see the different opinions from different sides. That way, our judgment wouldn't be too clouded and unjust. But it would be difficult to get these people. And to be honest, it is not whether the president Duterte can solve the problem or not, in fact, the question should not revolve around "Can/Will the problem be solved?", I believe it revolves around "Are the people really willing to stop the drugs for the betterment of the country?". My stand is, we're not doing it right or wrong, we're focusing on the wrong perspective of the issue, and I think it will be impossible unless the people are willing to change. Not only through words, but in action.
"lets just focus on the good things he's done"? That pretty much sums up talking to someone who doesn't get how the world works or hasn't seen the reality of the darker side of Duterte's presidency. He's pretty young so I can't blame him. The Police man is right. Drugs will never go away and rehabilitation is a better route than killing a bunch of people who are poor and need the drugs just to get through life. The guy is wise and has seen the reality of things in his age and time through his career. Another great vid guys, thx.
What you didnt know and you obviously what the young gentleman failed to itterate is that there were about 2 million plus who surrendered and that a hefty amount of these surrenderees were rehabilitated.... Pls go do your own research and never rely on some FAKE NEWS BS PROPAGANDA video...
@@kevintroy2540 What exactly is a hefty amount? 1000,000? out of 2 million? I'm sure they were all put into rehab but they ALL were not "rehabilitated." What is the relapse rate then? The average relapse rate world wide is usually around 70% and its even worse in more poorer populations/countries. I did my research and what I found was not good. I'm not coming from a place that hates on the Phillipines, I actually was hoping Duterte's plan would work but its not. How can you not listen to the police mans testimony...he's literally on the streets see'ing this stuff on a daily basis. Regardless my hearts with the people of the Phillipines and anyone who is addicted to hard life altering drugs.
@@eunhyuekpark6159 Theres a reason why majority of the Filipinos love Duterte... And that is that they see that his ANTI-DRUG CAMPAIGN worked.. Less crimes and it definitely has a big impact to the economy.... Less crimes means more foreign investment and more productive people for employment.... Now Im not going to force you ro believe me though.. But Im pretty sure the Philippines wont be included in the top 5 best performing economies in Asia if Duterte's ANTI DRUG CAMPAIGN did not positive results...
I used to use meth heavily for a year damn thing made me crazy. Now I swallow anti psychotics to maintain my sanity. You can say I'm now drug dependent because I have to take it for life. The Irony. Don't take drugs folks.
There are more hispanic people in Cebu and Visayas region in the Philippines than in Luzon because Spaniards first occupied the Visayas region of the Philippines. :)
@Jeff Bardot lol, I'm a Bisaya Filipino from Mindanao and people would always say that I have a Latino feature. Moreno skin, almond-shaped eyes, and a Curly-Wavy hair and a very thick mustache and beard. And when I went to Southern Tagalog region once, I noticed that Filipinos there look more like natives/lumad than Filipinos in Visayas. By the way, even though I was born in Mindanao-Davao City particularly-my mother is from Bohol and my father is from Cebu so I do have these pure Visayan blood flowing in my veins... What I noticed when I was growing up here in Davao is that, native Filipinos here like Lumads and Moros look different from Bisaya Filipinos who has ancestry from Visayas, particularly from Cebu. Indeed, Filipinos from Visayas were more Hispanic-looking than Filipinos in the North or Native Filipinos in Mindanao...
Desmond Israel Lol they look Malay af, 1:1 replicas of native Malaysians and Indonesians. Ya’ll are cringy af, most mestizos in the south have very recent mix with the foreigners there from America, while the deep rooted mestizos there are very isolated or have immigrated to Manila where their main specialties like business and showbiz are based. You should honestly take a visit to Malaysia or Indonesia and see just how similar your features are.
As a filipino living in Cebu, I admire our President and his bravery, work and efforts to improve the country and just like every Human, nobody is perfect and our President is not an exception. I also think that the war on drugs is not the right solution to the country's problem. "DRUG ADDICTS" is an effect of the problem as well as the "KILLINGS". What I would suggest to our President is to ASK HIS SELF 5 times " WHY?" WHY there are lots of drug addicts? WHY are they taking drugs? WHY? WHY? WHY? ETC. Using that method, we can Identify the ROOT CAUSE of the problem or Should I say THE MAIN PROBLEM and I strongly believe that the ECONOMY plays a big role in this. Once our president Identify the Root cause and provide a solution to it, then the effects of the problem will follow. THERE WILL BE NO DRUGS THERE WILL BE NO ADDICTS THERE WILL BE NO KILLINGS well, not really 100% but I'm sure that the country is better than before and will make a difference. ^_^
The USA is not a poor country but people of all levels of society are abusing drugs. It's not poverty it's something else. It's about chasing high, just human nature. Alcoholism, food addiction is also in the same category.
@@nandorblue I'm not saying it's poverty either and Whatever that is, It's the reason why we're paying tax. For them to figure it out and provide solution. ^_
People complain that Duterte's ways are bad .... But they did not even do anything that could help the countries problem... Do they even have the right to complain if they are just complaining I believe Duterte is not the perfect president and leader but he is the president we need ..
Those from the Provinces literally had to learn 3 Languages since young. 1. Local Language (Bisaya, Ilonggo, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Ilokano, etc.) 2. Filipino Language 3. English Language
The drug problem didn’t become worse, it has been going on a lot since then. People just thought that it wasn’t that rampant because drug syndicates operate secretly. But now that it has been brought to light.. Damn, we didn’t even know that there were millions of users. Duterte, definitely brought awareness to this drug problem globally.
Nakakaintindi ako ng bisaya unti lng kasi mga magulang ko Hiligaynon which is considered Visayan dialect. I found it interesting na very approachable yung mga bisaya tungkol sa issue na toh while people from the NCR are really either dutertards or Yellowist apologist both parties have extremist ideology. Which really divides the country
7:58 he's been there for just 2 years (almost 3) and she made it sound like he's almost finished with his term. In just 2 years, you can really feel changes. If she just looked around her (cebu, right?) You'll see many infrastructures getting built which is a good sign that the economy is booming.
Sa tingin ko, Mas Grabe ang isyu ng poverty kaysa druga. Dito sa US, nagamit ang “war on drugs” para lang maapi ang mga ibang lahi (mga minorities). Bakit hindi magkaroon ng “WAR ON POVERTY” sa halip ng “War on Drugs??” Malamang malulutas ang karamihan ng mga isyu sa droga pag mas itinutuon At linulutas ang isyu ng poverty! Siyempre di talaga mawawala ang bisyo. Pero Di makakatulong ang “war on drugs” because it is a distraction from the real issue of poverty and learned helplessness.
In China drugs are punishable by death. They're flocking here because China does it worse/better than ours. They're the third level of Winnie the Pooh gentleman meme while we're just first or second in 'human rights' abuses.
Sad things is, a lot of these people don't know their rights, the laws that can protect them, etc. We aren't taught the human rights or laws surrounding them. (I only learnt them in college)
@king suplado. The president already admitted that the war on drugs in the philippines is a failure and thats the truth. Thousands already died in this war. Mostly of are poor or small time pusher and addict. if you cant see that then you are blindly fanatic. That's the widely spreading disease in this country rn. DDS FANATICS!
I'm impressed how people still defends the guy who lies to people and threatens to take away the country's human rights. Oh well, the minds of people with blind faith.
Bradmyr what do you expect? They're tribal fanatics, you can't reason with them because opinions that differ from theirs are automatically wrong in their book
I'm glad the police man was on this. It's nice to hear opinions but for issues like this it's also important to have someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
I know people(sssss) who use drugs... And they aren't poor. Not even middle-class. Marijuana? For legalisation? Or for FUN? It's sad but... I don't know what to do.
The problem with drugs is not with the addicts or dealers. They are dependent on the drug or the business with it. No matter how hard the government imposes punishments, it only harms the victims of the drugs. To solve the problem, you have to destroy the Mafia structures. Strict and consistent action must be taken in this area. Criminalising the poor is wrong.
The administration is not to be blamed. The issue on drugs has been in the Philippines for decades, in my opinion, it has been better in my community since Pres. Digong was elected. Also, previous administrations didn't even focused on this drug issue that's why it just kept growing especially when authorities are even involved in the drug trade. The best thing to do is to start within the community, if there's no demand, supplies won't be needed. If only people understood the dangers drugs pose if mishandled and misused, then they would have stopped. But since addiction has been in them, a lot of users still patronize whatever drugs they can get, thus the demand for it.
To his followers who would take time to read this no i am not a dilawan i am just voicing out my opinion and frustration to the government. Also please do not criticize me for my poor english writing skills this is not a grammar exam, again, i am just voicing my opinion. At first i was happy that I'm seeing that drug pushers were being arrested/killed but later on i noticed that they keep on focusing on the small time traffickers. They were attacking the symptom not the disease itself. Rich people were given a chance to be heard while the poor ones were instantly killed. Added to this was the way the president behaves when he is being criticize for his administrations shortcomings. Yes, he did a lot great things for the philippines but corruption is ever rampant and he is acting like a puppet for china and the marcoses. You would see that freedom of the press is being supressed and many more issues are being ignored or covered up. Sometimes, i feel that this war on drugs is just a distraction to the some of the real issues in our country. Yes i will admit that i voted for him because out of all the candidates he seems like the one who has a concrete plan and doesn't just give is the usual vague plans thrown out there. However, I am disappointed with how the administration is running our country and am hoping that his term would end soon.
He is a malignant narcissist who is hungry for murder(please look this personality up, it's a real thing and it's the real deal on what his mental issue is) The war on drugs is a complete cover up on the real issues of the country for several decades such as corruption, poverty, repressive laws. Everyday the local media just reports the same thing over and over again, that's because it is also controlled and monitored by the philippine government. The media and the government had manipulated the minds of the filipino people so well that they aren't even thinking anymore and are just copying each others opinion
Vin Mar finally someone who can clearly see that the duterte fanatics are being extremely tribal, all they do is shut down anyone with an opinion that differs/challenges theirs, kinda like the regressive left here in the US
@@JagerXIII honestly I hope some of the filipino protesters would see my comments so it could help them gain more knowledge and awareness of the situation. I don't have the guts to speak out against the philippine government publicly so I mostly just comment online. It is exhausting as I am faced with constant backlash from these die hard supporters so I had deleted some of my previous comments throughout the years
Vin Mar sounds bad, kinda like here in US if you have an opinion that differs from the far left/mainstream media ie MSNPC, you just get mobbed to a certain extent, but from what i've seen online, duterte fanatics are extremely radical people who just don't listen to other people's opinion, kinda like the regressive left
Indonesia is war on drugs too. But we mostly search for the cartel since it was the source. The user can be taken of later by law and not the police. The only important thing is *"Finding the Seller of the Drug"* since it is the one who spread drug use
The drug problem here in the Philippine is at it worst. Politician, police officers are connected to drugs. Thats why the problem is not easy to eliminate. The President already published all the public worker in the media. They already file cases against them.
You don't always have to be rude to the person you don't like. You can be respectful even if you don't agree with what he did. He is still the president of the country and just like what they said in the video, "he is just a person".. Everyone makes mistakes.
Jim You’re right. Only the three girls did. All the interviewees are from Cebu, and they speak the same language as Duterte. Filipinos are wildly regionalistic, so Duterte is extremely popular among those in the southern parts of the country, where his family held power for decades, because Filipinos from the south believe that he represents them.
I just got here from the “What Do Filipinos Think of President Duterte” video which was uploaded a year ago. Their responses scared me, honestly. There were people who admitted that killing others for the betterment of the majority. Just the thought that the lives of people can be considered as “collateral” damage to a necessary war is terrifying to say the least, not to mention that there are people who actually approve of a radical bad-mouthed individual leading my country. Nice to see that the Cebuanos have better opinions. Respect ✊
that Muslim woman really need to opens up her mind. Stop being negative and base on your action and answers, you're anti the government and opposing the government really gives a big impact to not solve the problem. You should run for a government position and let see if you can change and solve the major problem in just 6years. And FYI, the poverty of Filipinos is not the main problem here because if we analyze it critically, the main problem here is ourselves especially our mindset. Ps: Im poor and we will be thankful if we can eat two times a day. And I'm not into illegal drugs nor committing any malicious and violence acts.
Yeah! She came from the Wartorn City Marawi. And they blamed Duterte from it when it has to be them. So, we cannot expect support from her. And most of the People in that City runs Tons of Illegalities and Wrong doing such as Drugs, Fake Documents, Kidnapping, Syndicates and Shabu Laboratory Havens. She's really upset coz they can't do the things they used to do in that City. She did not realized and will never be greatful for how the Government Fixed their Wartorn City nowadays. She's been blinded from her Hate towards the Government.
People of the Philippines: Do not rely on one man or one thing. It will take many things from above and below to drastically and fairly reduce drugs. Economic, education, policy settings, auditing of government authorities to ensure they're not corrupt and so much more to resolve the problem. It's a nation wide problem that needs a package of national solutions.
Thats what we are doing right now!!! Theres a reason why the Philippines is top 5 best performing economy in Asia.. and one of top 20 best performing economies in the world...
Meth turns a great person into a monster, they are just ill. They need help. To think that these people are just being murdered, when they instead could have been helped, is heartbreaking. These are peoples children...
They are not shot on the spot. The police here only shoot if and when the suspect shoots first. Those who surrender peacefully (millions) are currently in rehab centers, while only a few thousand have died, contrary to what the media tells you. Sincerely, a Filipino.
Hey Zeus I don’t think he kills people using drugs for no reason. What if they raped somebody? What if they killed somebody? What if they’re doing something really bad that you don’t know and you’re still protecting them because you just think that they’re only doing drugs and not the other stuffs.
@Hey Zeus There's so many misconceptions here luke wtf. First of all, Duterte had already warn them aboit voting for him cuz it's going to be bloody but filipinos still did. Second, he gave addict several weeks to surrender peacefully and it's on the guinness world of records for the largest number of drug addict surrenderers.
Sweety, poverty rate in the Philippines is actually decresing. As for education, we now have free college education. Those who earning minimum wage are excempt from income tax, the agriculture sector is also improving. Philippines is also being dubbed as one of Asia's fastest growing economies. The problem is that so many people are so focused on one thing and fails to see the improvement going on around them.
Are you not Aware? That this is the First President who imposed the Free College Tuition Fee in this Country? You must do a much more deeper research before ranting like you really are aware of our Country.
THE ROOT CAUSE IS THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES; they need more job opportunities, better pay for the people, and as for the drug use, every country has that problem--but what developed countries do have that Philippines seem to not are resources for their people to go to for help, such as rehabilitation centers, hence create a better health care system. I have recently visited family in the Philippines and honestly, after not going back for years, nothing has really changed in terms of quality, still a lot of poverty, pollution, a backward mindset, etc. And I also think the people of power there are greedy--what happened to all the donations given from other countries during the natural disasters that happened? Idk, just my thoughts.
Tbh there are a lot of job opportunities in the Philippines. In order for people to have opportunities, first remove the age limit. Second, government agencies should treat all equally. Even a lot of eligible people can't find a job because they don't have "connections".
@Christine Wood Weed does have a psychological addiction effect, but no physical addiction at all. Most hard drugs however are severely physically addicting, meth about the most of all.
Easy. Weed is hardly illegal, is illegal but the government only focuses on chemical drugs. Weed is easier to get clean from as people leave voluntarily which is harder for meth.
@Christine Wood Less overdoses??? Bullshieeet!!! You have 70,000 drug overdoses every year and you claim LESS???? Thats the most BULLSHIIEETEST thing Ive read on the internet....

Asian boss is improving for they interview people, not just in Manila.
Will agree when they stop interviewing Chinese from Shanghai!
I was thinking they would speak the national language of Tagalog but most of the people are speaking Bisayan so I had to read the translation in English. Tagalog is only spoken natively by people in Manila and the surrounding regions in Southern Luzon. So I agree it’s nice to see more diversity.
wilkin.simon They interview ppl from Beijing now too
I hope, They Do Street Interview in Guwahati OR NE India other than Mainland India.
Many they're so more than just Shanghai 😂
they're speaking Cebuano, no? It's very interesting to hear the Bisaya's point of view and not just the Tagalogs in Manila. Great job, Asian Boss! I'd volunteer but my city is not really relevant.

Coz Cebu is the no.1 drug city in the country.election na palitan nyo na mga namumuno dyan.
Cebu is the second largest metropolis in Philippines anyway. 3rd would be Davao and CDO. They deserved to be interviewed
They just have to improve their education system and quality of life. Simply arresting druggies, etc. is only a temporary "fix".
You can't educate those severely addicted to drugs dude. Are you saying that the government just let them in the streets?? LOL are you nuts? This is the 1st time our government did something about drugs, and you saying to just stop?
Thats so lame
@@cngaming4831 Sigh...This is why you guys need a better educational system. You're thinking small picture and inside a small circle. Big changes take time. You can't fix a problem by putting bandaids on them. You need treatment. I should also mention that there are ways to rehabilitate druggies. There are tons of medication that rehabs and jails should be administering to the addicts for free. People do drugs to get away from reality. One big reason is because the quality of real life is bad. Improve the quality of life for the people to give less reasons for people to do drugs. Great, free or close to free education, improve the neighborhoods (city beautification policies) and incentives for doing good deeds. Do that and you'll have better educated politicians with real plans instead of one that thinks catching and killing druggies and sometimes innocent people.
@@cngaming4831 Simply killing druggies doesn't show compassion for the people. It just makes them scared and angry. People on meth don't act or respond like normal people. You gotta rehabilitate them.
@@meestaShin do you live here in the Philippines?? If you don't, don't act like you know what's happening here. If you're neighbourhood is infested by murderers and rapist you won't say that dude. I can understand you and your opinion. That must be the ideal answer to the problem BUT its different here man. I tell you.
In Mexico there was a "war against the narcotraphy" in the Calderon's presidency (2006-12). The results? chaos. The army was in the streets, a lot of business shutted down, the schools canceled classes for days, and the worst, there were murders all the days. My city was the most dangeroues city in the world for a long time... well, it's not the best now, but at the time was crazy. It's sad to see this happens in others places. A war against drug is not that easy, you know guilty and inocent people will die. I don't believe the sacrifice of this people is good enough to complete the goal.
Very real, very mature take. Thanks for your perspective, I agree. There is too much to sacrifice just to stop people from getting high.
como esta mi Mexicano amigo.
You need to kill more to instill fear. That's why you guys are a narco state, you don't have willing vigilantes who sacrifice themselves to take the law into their hands.
That's an immature point of view. There were other problems that caused it and points to look at. Also we have to sacrifice people for progress.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 . "Sacrifice people for progress"... you know it could be you? There are innocent people dying because of the problem. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself or other innocent people you know "for progress"?
Omg it is so refreshing to hear Bisaya as opposed to Tagalog or taglish.
I would love to hear all the different dialects in the Philippines and how it compares to Tagalog!
Tagalog has no use in Cebu. I'm not from Cebu (I'm from Davao) but I also speak Cebuano/Bisaya. Cebuano is a beautiful 'masculine' language compare to the effeminate tagalog.
Desmond Israel that’s so unnecessary. your language is not better than Tagalog and Tagalog is not better than yours. :)
@@janis_ ahh mao ba... okay.
@@janis_ well, you're entitled to your own opinion dzai. But for me, tagalog is a weird language and I rather communicate in English to non-Bisaya speakers or better, learn other Filipino languages.

The next issue must be, what do chinese think on their government's claim of the islands in the West Philippine Sea..
Not possible it's extremely taboo for Chinese to talk about CCP issues unless they're pro government.
That can't be done. That would put a lot of the chinese interviewees at high risk from the surveillance of the ccp
@Philip Allen if you’re talking about the “islands” then it’ll be hard bec. der r other islands claimed by SEA countries which r part of that 9 dash line. And besides the chinese facilities r now erected on those islands and lotttts of militaries
can't do that, they'd get flagged because of that merit system they have where they give demerits to ppl who "cause bad behavior" should they speak against government policy.

NFC, do your research, index crime lowered to almost half as compared to past admin. What are you talking about?
Jepnahid currently writing a paper on this and comparing it to Portugal’s drug decriminalization tactics. Just because the crime rate went down, doesn’t mean the drug problem is being solved. Interestingly murder rates sky rocketed but it’s difficult to get hard data due to the Philippine police manipulating the numbers. I come from a country where drug wars like this have been going on for decades, and to no avail. Duarte can kill all he wants, but drugs will still be prominent due to demand, money, and poverty. You have to get to the root of the problem. Start asking yourselves, why do people feel the need to drugs in the first place?
Asian Boss is good at representating the Filipinos for interviewing not just in Manila but in other cities as well like Cebu.

@@jameschristophercirujano6650 lmao I laugh to your answer dude. It depends on the school but overall Public is better tho.
Private schools are better because they're better managed. Public schools are better at university level but in basic education? That's not the case at all. I'm talking generally here as there are a lot of public schools better than private schools just that there's more knowledgeable people coming out from private schools.

I'm really glad that Asian Boss chose to cover this. I think it's important to focus on more serious issues. The last few posts have been a little bit fluffy.
Look...
I myself, as a filipino, also want to help my country. But, as an 11 year old student, no matter how old you are, dont give up hope for our country. We can atleast pray that someone, or who knows, our president, can actually save the Philippines from drugs. Just being honest, I am living in Iloilo ( but I wasn't born there ) and they put up signs saying " this is a smoke free city ". But almost everywhere I look, us Filipinos are still smoking! We put up signs saying what would happen if smoking would continue, that we shoulden't do this or whatsoever. But. We. Still. Do. It.
Our president, watching over the Philippines, making programmes, signing up files, documents etc. can actually be really stressful. But sometimes( just being honest here ) we Filipinos can forget how much it means to be in that position.
Hey, dose anyone remember that time when President Duterte closed up Boracay? When we came back, look what happened.
Being in a high position can give higher expectations to the community.
So, as of what Spider-man said:
"WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY"
We must do our part in helping our country. No matter what age, how tall you are, how you you look, nor how people judge you. SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY!
Iloilo was once a smoke free city though. I've asked my friends about this and they said that in the term of previous mayor, smoking was illegal and tightly monitored. However, the current mayor did not continue this act.
Agree with you!😘

Only with education we can solve this issue. Killing drug users is like trying to pluck weed expecting the whole garden to be clean.
So you say americans are uneducated because they have worst opiod problem.
Even educated people take drugs. We need to stop the producers in order to stop the supply.
Yeah? most of the drug dealers have bachelors degree
@@criticalsage issue is the supplier. A lot of it is coming from China and with this admin, I doubt they will stop any inflow of drugs from there.

Chemotherapy kills the bad and good cells alike to defeat Cancer.
The Drug Epidemic in the Philippines is Cancer.
Lyndii Mey People are not cells and it was already proven many times that these "war on drugs" can only make temporary changes but not long term changes. Take Mexico and America's war on drugs, it was a failure in long term perspective (in short term too honestly - some mexican cities were a mess at the time). Not starting with how it's inhumane to kill addicted people who would have opportinities to get cured instead at developed countries and live a normal life.

Decriminalizing marijuana and lifting more out of poverty would help the Philippines A LOT.
Yes, indeed.
The problem is most of senators are lawyers they’re lact of knowledge about marijuana.
What we need are doctors or someone who has knowledge in medical field to educate senate about the effect of this herbs.
We also need farmers in senate and other field.
The drug that is mostly abused and what they were talking about is meth/shabu. So we should legalize meth as well? And if the argument would be like if marijuana is legal then drug user would switch from meth to marijuana, there is no assurance even in that.
Winter Phoenix Personally, i think all forms of drugs should be decriminalized but the government should also put emphasis on rehabilitating drug addicts. Look at what Portugal is doing. They used to have a huge drug usage issue in the country and they thought that putting drug addicts in jail would solve the problem but it didn’t. But then they decriminalized all forms of drug usage and rehabilitated addicts which resulted in drug usage to decrease significantly
2 things, first is where will the government get the resources to fund the treatment of the millions of these users? From taxpayers again? As if it's not enough that these good for nothing politicians pocket half the fund designated for the betterment of the community. secondly, since drug use is decriminalized will that not allow for more people to try doing drugs knowing they are free from any legal accountability?

The Philippines is an amazing place. Such unique and diverse people and cultures. Some of the warmest and most welcoming people of this Earth, I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
If only the government could focus improving rural transportation, and accesses to remote areas, the lives of millions in the poorer provinces could be improved. I think that could also help to solve the drug crisis in a more "humane" manner, by giving poorer communities access to areas of opportunity. Also, Canada needs to follow through with their waste disposal deal... there are many people there trying so hard to keep their incredible islands nation clean, but they need outside help with this issue. Foreign countries are the ones importing the waste, for profit, so we need to help them get it off these islands. Some of the most important corals reefs are there, and also a large number of breathtaking world heritage sites. And I love The Philippines!

Yes, most of the drug users/small time pushers are from urban poor area.. the big factor is because of their (poor) environment like what the respondent said.. but for me in most cases, naging effective ang war against drugs na campaign ni Pres. DUTERTE. it is visible naman. Kung tutuusin kaya naman talaga maresolba ang drugs kung lahat tayo makikipag tulungan at susunod. And yes, they also need to focus sa pinaguugatan/pinagkukunan/supplier ng drugs. And tama rin ung sinabi ni kuyang respondent na si pres. Duterte is still human. We all make mistakes we all aren't perfect but still he make a move.. nasa next administration na yan kung ipagpapatuloy pa. Plus, lalong nahirapan si Mr. President na ipatupad yun dahil na din sa mga kapwa nya pulitiko na humaharang sa kanya imbis na suportahan sya. Pano nga naman nya magagawa ang trabaho nya kung mismong mga tagasunod nya ang humaharang sa kanya. Ilan ba ang mga pilipino?? Ilan ba ang presidente? Need natin makipagtulungan. Yung campaign na yun hndi lang yun para kay president.. para din satin yun. Masyado kse tayo nagiging close minded na porket sinabi nya na within 6mos. Wala na yan e dapat ganun mangyayari to think na hindi naman tayo nakikipag tulungan :)
Isipin nyo pag drug users ang namatay ang ingay ingay ng chr. Pero kapag sibilyan ang napatay dahil pinatay/nirape ng drug user tahimik sila. So ano meaning nun? :)

@@GTX311 hello, maybe tama ka. Kase malaking imagination talaga kapag lahat ng pilipino nagtulungan. Talking about crab mentality :)
I think the best way is to ask the user themselves, mainly because they're the ones involved in the situation. We would be able to listen to their insights and their suggestions from the users, victims, and the perpetrator. We would be able to see the different opinions from different sides. That way, our judgment wouldn't be too clouded and unjust. But it would be difficult to get these people. And to be honest, it is not whether the president Duterte can solve the problem or not, in fact, the question should not revolve around "Can/Will the problem be solved?", I believe it revolves around "Are the people really willing to stop the drugs for the betterment of the country?". My stand is, we're not doing it right or wrong, we're focusing on the wrong perspective of the issue, and I think it will be impossible unless the people are willing to change. Not only through words, but in action.
"lets just focus on the good things he's done"? That pretty much sums up talking to someone who doesn't get how the world works or hasn't seen the reality of the darker side of Duterte's presidency. He's pretty young so I can't blame him.
The Police man is right. Drugs will never go away and rehabilitation is a better route than killing a bunch of people who are poor and need the drugs just to get through life. The guy is wise and has seen the reality of things in his age and time through his career. Another great vid guys, thx.

@@kevintroy2540 What exactly is a hefty amount? 1000,000? out of 2 million? I'm sure they were all put into rehab but they ALL were not "rehabilitated." What is the relapse rate then?

I'm not coming from a place that hates on the Phillipines, I actually was hoping Duterte's plan would work but its not. How can you not listen to the police mans testimony...he's literally on the streets see'ing this stuff on a daily basis. Regardless my hearts with the people of the Phillipines and anyone who is addicted to hard life altering drugs.
@@eunhyuekpark6159 Theres a reason why majority of the Filipinos love Duterte... And that is that they see that his ANTI-DRUG CAMPAIGN worked..

@Jeff Bardot lol, I'm a Bisaya Filipino from Mindanao and people would always say that I have a Latino feature. Moreno skin, almond-shaped eyes, and a Curly-Wavy hair and a very thick mustache and beard. And when I went to Southern Tagalog region once, I noticed that Filipinos there look more like natives/lumad than Filipinos in Visayas. By the way, even though I was born in Mindanao-Davao City particularly-my mother is from Bohol and my father is from Cebu so I do have these pure Visayan blood flowing in my veins... What I noticed when I was growing up here in Davao is that, native Filipinos here like Lumads and Moros look different from Bisaya Filipinos who has ancestry from Visayas, particularly from Cebu. Indeed, Filipinos from Visayas were more Hispanic-looking than Filipinos in the North or Native Filipinos in Mindanao...
Desmond Israel Lol they look Malay af, 1:1 replicas of native Malaysians and Indonesians. Ya’ll are cringy af, most mestizos in the south have very recent mix with the foreigners there from America, while the deep rooted mestizos there are very isolated or have immigrated to Manila where their main specialties like business and showbiz are based. You should honestly take a visit to Malaysia or Indonesia and see just how similar your features are.
As a filipino living in Cebu, I admire our President and his bravery, work and efforts to improve the country and just like every Human, nobody is perfect and our President is not an exception. I also think that the war on drugs is not the right solution to the country's problem. "DRUG ADDICTS" is an effect of the problem as well as the "KILLINGS".
What I would suggest to our President is to ASK HIS SELF 5 times " WHY?"
WHY there are lots of drug addicts?
WHY are they taking drugs? WHY? WHY? WHY?
ETC.
Using that method, we can Identify the ROOT CAUSE of the problem or Should I say THE MAIN PROBLEM and I strongly believe that the ECONOMY plays a big role in this.
Once our president Identify the Root cause and provide a solution to it, then the effects of the problem will follow.
THERE WILL BE NO DRUGS
THERE WILL BE NO ADDICTS
THERE WILL BE NO KILLINGS
well, not really 100% but I'm sure that the country is better than before and will make a difference. ^_^
The USA is not a poor country but people of all levels of society are abusing drugs. It's not poverty it's something else. It's about chasing high, just human nature. Alcoholism, food addiction is also in the same category.
@@nandorblue I'm not saying it's poverty either and Whatever that is, It's the reason why we're paying tax. For them to figure it out and provide solution. ^_
People complain that Duterte's ways are bad .... But they did not even do anything that could help the countries problem...
Do they even have the right to complain if they are just complaining
I believe Duterte is not the perfect president and leader but he is the president we need ..
When you've watched ths whole video, but cant think of a funny comment.
Those from the Provinces literally had to learn 3 Languages since young.
1. Local Language (Bisaya, Ilonggo, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Ilokano, etc.)
2. Filipino Language
3. English Language
That's why Filipino people outside the tagalog-speaking places are more open minded than tagalog-speaking Filipinos...
Desmond Israel I hope Asian Boss could do the English interview again in Cebu or someplace outside Manila.
It was never intended to be a long-term solution. Clearly, the impact has been greatly felt so it is blatantly wrong to be called a "failure".
Yeah! Agree with you!
The drug problem didn’t become worse, it has been going on a lot since then.
People just thought that it wasn’t that rampant because drug syndicates operate secretly.
But now that it has been brought to light.. Damn, we didn’t even know that there were millions of users.
Duterte, definitely brought awareness to this drug problem globally.
Nakakaintindi ako ng bisaya unti lng kasi mga magulang ko Hiligaynon which is considered Visayan dialect. I found it interesting na very approachable yung mga bisaya tungkol sa issue na toh while people from the NCR are really either dutertards or Yellowist apologist both parties have extremist ideology. Which really divides the country
How many Drug Lords caught during this War on Drugs? Small fry can be replaced as long as the roots is active and kicking.
OY NA KURAT KO SLIGHT BC BISAYA BUT THANK YOU ASIAN BOSS!!!!
its a win, coz gov't take decisive action!
Oh, that's why I could understand, it's in Cebuano. Idk Tagalog cuz I was born in talisay
lami gyud paminawon ang Bisaya ayp...
Proud Bisdak from Davao City
Making unrealistic promises is such a shame.
The president can't solved the problem by it's own power, nor we can solve it by starting to ourselves it should start with in ourselves.
7:58 he's been there for just 2 years (almost 3) and she made it sound like he's almost finished with his term. In just 2 years, you can really feel changes. If she just looked around her (cebu, right?) You'll see many infrastructures getting built which is a good sign that the economy is booming.
*Make the drug addicts and dealers have something else to do*
Take away their drugs but fill in the wholes in their hearts
Not just holes in their hearts but holes in their wallets.
@@rdizzy1 Selling drugs is very lucrative compared to a office job. And way less work compared to running a business.
rdizzy1 so true
Sa tingin ko, Mas Grabe ang isyu ng poverty kaysa druga. Dito sa US, nagamit ang “war on drugs” para lang maapi ang mga ibang lahi (mga minorities). Bakit hindi magkaroon ng “WAR ON POVERTY” sa halip ng “War on Drugs??” Malamang malulutas ang karamihan ng mga isyu sa droga pag mas itinutuon At linulutas ang isyu ng poverty! Siyempre di talaga mawawala ang bisyo. Pero Di makakatulong ang “war on drugs” because it is a distraction from the real issue of poverty and learned helplessness.
Walang masama sa bisyo kung hindi illegal. Illegal drugs ang issue dito.
tamarin sang ayon din ako-kaso lang paano natin masasabi kung Anung Dapat legal at anung dapat ipingbawal, Kasi Mejo random din iyan kung minsan.
Bisaya here 👍
Shabu is a word that will never disappear, you hear it every single day
"War on drugs" but the Druglords are safe and we befriended our supplier (China)
In China drugs are punishable by death. They're flocking here because China does it worse/better than ours. They're the third level of Winnie the Pooh gentleman meme while we're just first or second in 'human rights' abuses.
Improve the infrastructure and get more jobs in the country, that should fix the most of the problem.
Sad things is, a lot of these people don't know their rights, the laws that can protect them, etc. We aren't taught the human rights or laws surrounding them. (I only learnt them in college)
Kudos to the muslim woman. She is the only one who has the best and real answer. Others are just fanatics.
rasmia ali not really she answer horribly
@king suplado. The president already admitted that the war on drugs in the philippines is a failure and thats the truth. Thousands already died in this war. Mostly of are poor or small time pusher and addict. if you cant see that then you are blindly fanatic. That's the widely spreading disease in this country rn. DDS FANATICS!
I'm impressed how people still defends the guy who lies to people and threatens to take away the country's human rights. Oh well, the minds of people with blind faith.
Bradmyr what do you expect? They're tribal fanatics, you can't reason with them because opinions that differ from theirs are automatically wrong in their book
Lol one of my friends is there....
Ana gyud bai sikat naka hahaha
Boanga
HAHAHAHAAAHAHAA psti support kaayos barkada bai
We must be grateful for our president because if we compare him to our past presidents, no one has ever made a change in our country....
I'd rather have someone who tried to eliminate drugs than those who didn't.
I'm glad the police man was on this. It's nice to hear opinions but for issues like this it's also important to have someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
Cruxador tfw the dude in the uniform had more sense than the 3 dudes standing outside a convenience store combined
1:00 How did the dude know that meth is easier to make?
cause internet?
It's very rampant in some areas in the phillipines. Before Duterte, it was one of the widely used drugs in the Phils if I'm not mistaken.
Common knowledge. The Chinese make tons of it.
Thanks for bringing the interview to Cebu!
You guys should interview Pinoy 9-year-olds
every country is failing on their war on drugs.
I know people(sssss) who use drugs...
And they aren't poor.
Not even middle-class.
Marijuana? For legalisation? Or for FUN?
It's sad but... I don't know what to do.
You know what to do. You just dont want to the right thing fearing for you own life.
Do whats right.
The problem with drugs is not with the addicts or dealers. They are dependent on the drug or the business with it. No matter how hard the government imposes punishments, it only harms the victims of the drugs. To solve the problem, you have to destroy the Mafia structures. Strict and consistent action must be taken in this area. Criminalising the poor is wrong.
Hi Asian Boss can you make video about 2019 Indonesian Presidential Election?
Well, that's a LOT of mock
@@fakyu9346 udah gapapa biar greget
The administration is not to be blamed. The issue on drugs has been in the Philippines for decades, in my opinion, it has been better in my community since Pres. Digong was elected. Also, previous administrations didn't even focused on this drug issue that's why it just kept growing especially when authorities are even involved in the drug trade. The best thing to do is to start within the community, if there's no demand, supplies won't be needed. If only people understood the dangers drugs pose if mishandled and misused, then they would have stopped. But since addiction has been in them, a lot of users still patronize whatever drugs they can get, thus the demand for it.
To his followers who would take time to read this no i am not a dilawan i am just voicing out my opinion and frustration to the government. Also please do not criticize me for my poor english writing skills this is not a grammar exam, again, i am just voicing my opinion.
At first i was happy that I'm seeing that drug pushers were being arrested/killed but later on i noticed that they keep on focusing on the small time traffickers. They were attacking the symptom not the disease itself. Rich people were given a chance to be heard while the poor ones were instantly killed. Added to this was the way the president behaves when he is being criticize for his administrations shortcomings. Yes, he did a lot great things for the philippines but corruption is ever rampant and he is acting like a puppet for china and the marcoses. You would see that freedom of the press is being supressed and many more issues are being ignored or covered up. Sometimes, i feel that this war on drugs is just a distraction to the some of the real issues in our country. Yes i will admit that i voted for him because out of all the candidates he seems like the one who has a concrete plan and doesn't just give is the usual vague plans thrown out there. However, I am disappointed with how the administration is running our country and am hoping that his term would end soon.
He is a malignant narcissist who is hungry for murder(please look this personality up, it's a real thing and it's the real deal on what his mental issue is) The war on drugs is a complete cover up on the real issues of the country for several decades such as corruption, poverty, repressive laws. Everyday the local media just reports the same thing over and over again, that's because it is also controlled and monitored by the philippine government. The media and the government had manipulated the minds of the filipino people so well that they aren't even thinking anymore and are just copying each others opinion
Vin Mar finally someone who can clearly see that the duterte fanatics are being extremely tribal, all they do is shut down anyone with an opinion that differs/challenges theirs, kinda like the regressive left here in the US
I'm gonna give this a few more days before the duterte gang comes in and comments on how their president is the best and you're just a doo doo head
@@JagerXIII honestly I hope some of the filipino protesters would see my comments so it could help them gain more knowledge and awareness of the situation. I don't have the guts to speak out against the philippine government publicly so I mostly just comment online. It is exhausting as I am faced with constant backlash from these die hard supporters so I had deleted some of my previous comments throughout the years
Vin Mar sounds bad, kinda like here in US if you have an opinion that differs from the far left/mainstream media ie MSNPC, you just get mobbed to a certain extent, but from what i've seen online, duterte fanatics are extremely radical people who just don't listen to other people's opinion, kinda like the regressive left
Indonesia is war on drugs too. But we mostly search for the cartel since it was the source. The user can be taken of later by law and not the police. The only important thing is *"Finding the Seller of the Drug"* since it is the one who spread drug use
The drug problem here in the Philippine is at it worst. Politician, police officers are connected to drugs. Thats why the problem is not easy to eliminate. The President already published all the public worker in the media. They already file cases against them.
Is it just me, or do they seem like they HAVE to say nice things about Duterte? Not a single one said anything negative about him. Not one thing.
"I think it got worse"
The 3 girls have the testimony you're looking for.
You don't always have to be rude to the person you don't like. You can be respectful even if you don't agree with what he did. He is still the president of the country and just like what they said in the video, "he is just a person".. Everyone makes mistakes.
Jim You’re right. Only the three girls did. All the interviewees are from Cebu, and they speak the same language as Duterte. Filipinos are wildly regionalistic, so Duterte is extremely popular among those in the southern parts of the country, where his family held power for decades, because Filipinos from the south believe that he represents them.
Why do you expect them to be like that?
I just got here from the “What Do Filipinos Think of President Duterte” video which was uploaded a year ago. Their responses scared me, honestly. There were people who admitted that killing others for the betterment of the majority. Just the thought that the lives of people can be considered as “collateral” damage to a necessary war is terrifying to say the least, not to mention that there are people who actually approve of a radical bad-mouthed individual leading my country. Nice to see that the Cebuanos have better opinions. Respect ✊
that Muslim woman really need to opens up her mind. Stop being negative and base on your action and answers, you're anti the government and opposing the government really gives a big impact to not solve the problem. You should run for a government position and let see if you can change and solve the major problem in just 6years. And FYI, the poverty of Filipinos is not the main problem here because if we analyze it critically, the main problem here is ourselves especially our mindset.
Ps: Im poor and we will be thankful if we can eat two times a day. And I'm not into illegal drugs nor committing any malicious and violence acts.
Yeah! She came from the Wartorn City Marawi. And they blamed Duterte from it when it has to be them. So, we cannot expect support from her. And most of the People in that City runs Tons of Illegalities and Wrong doing such as Drugs, Fake Documents, Kidnapping, Syndicates and Shabu Laboratory Havens. She's really upset coz they can't do the things they used to do in that City. She did not realized and will never be greatful for how the Government Fixed their Wartorn City nowadays. She's been blinded from her Hate towards the Government.
People of the Philippines: Do not rely on one man or one thing. It will take many things from above and below to drastically and fairly reduce drugs. Economic, education, policy settings, auditing of government authorities to ensure they're not corrupt and so much more to resolve the problem. It's a nation wide problem that needs a package of national solutions.
Thats what we are doing right now!!! Theres a reason why the Philippines is top 5 best performing economy in Asia.. and one of top 20 best performing economies in the world...
Meth turns a great person into a monster, they are just ill. They need help. To think that these people are just being murdered, when they instead could have been helped, is heartbreaking. These are peoples children...
They are not shot on the spot. The police here only shoot if and when the suspect shoots first. Those who surrender peacefully (millions) are currently in rehab centers, while only a few thousand have died, contrary to what the media tells you.
Sincerely, a Filipino.
Gavin Herrera Also a Filipino but I don’t agree with you. Please turn to reputable news sources.
@@janis_ tell me a reputable news source? we will listen. The media in the Ph always puts anything in a bad light cause controversies get viewed.
have u heard a saying. a monster rehabing and if the monster dont want change the monster will still be a monster
bro rehad are open. its ur choice to rehab or be a addict or die if u fight a police
Hay salamat, umabot sila from Manila to Cebu.👍👍
I voted Pres. Duterte but I am happy how he ran the government. The only thing I don't like is keeping up friendship with China.
Hey Zeus I don’t think he kills people using drugs for no reason. What if they raped somebody? What if they killed somebody? What if they’re doing something really bad that you don’t know and you’re still protecting them because you just think that they’re only doing drugs and not the other stuffs.
@Hey Zeus There's so many misconceptions here luke wtf. First of all, Duterte had already warn them aboit voting for him cuz it's going to be bloody but filipinos still did. Second, he gave addict several weeks to surrender peacefully and it's on the guinness world of records for the largest number of drug addict surrenderers.
The drug problem will not die down as long as the country itself is increasing the poverty rate and not educating people enough.
Sweety, poverty rate in the Philippines is actually decresing. As for education, we now have free college education. Those who earning minimum wage are excempt from income tax, the agriculture sector is also improving.
Philippines is also being dubbed as one of Asia's fastest growing economies.
The problem is that so many people are so focused on one thing and fails to see the improvement going on around them.
Are you not Aware? That this is the First President who imposed the Free College Tuition Fee in this Country? You must do a much more deeper research before ranting like you really are aware of our Country.
Bobo naman. Taga pilipinas ka ba talaga, libre nga sa mga pinoy ang pagaaral mula elem hanggabg college. Kulang pa rin sa edukasyon??? Ay b...
Ate in the pink blouse has some good points
Good points but not logical
@@NoOne-ie4xl care to explain why it's not logical?
THE ROOT CAUSE IS THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES; they need more job opportunities, better pay for the people, and as for the drug use, every country has that problem--but what developed countries do have that Philippines seem to not are resources for their people to go to for help, such as rehabilitation centers, hence create a better health care system. I have recently visited family in the Philippines and honestly, after not going back for years, nothing has really changed in terms of quality, still a lot of poverty, pollution, a backward mindset, etc. And I also think the people of power there are greedy--what happened to all the donations given from other countries during the natural disasters that happened? Idk, just my thoughts.
Tbh there are a lot of job opportunities in the Philippines. In order for people to have opportunities, first remove the age limit. Second, government agencies should treat all equally. Even a lot of eligible people can't find a job because they don't have "connections".
what we need the most is more people like TheKimCas in this world.
Easy fix tho legalize cannabis and problem solved people would not have to smoke meth all the time
Exactly - Time to join the "real" world.
@Christine Wood Weed does have a psychological addiction effect, but no physical addiction at all. Most hard drugs however are severely physically addicting, meth about the most of all.
Of course because there are no other drugs beside cannabis ongoing in the philipines.. Facepalm
Easy. Weed is hardly illegal, is illegal but the government only focuses on chemical drugs. Weed is easier to get clean from as people leave voluntarily which is harder for meth.
@Christine Wood Less overdoses??? Bullshieeet!!! You have 70,000 drug overdoses every year and you claim LESS???? Thats the most BULLSHIIEETEST thing Ive read on the internet....
