My uncle was addicted to drugs, around 2016 or 17 he surrendered and rehabed, his children who is my cousin is living with us, after his father got rehabed his life was normal now and guess what? My uncle and my cousins are living on a good life in the mountains planting and selling vegetables. Many people have changed since this drug war started. Edit: corrected some spellings
what happened to your uncle is not the only story to tell. it as a good thing that he is living a good life now, but to insinuate that the war on drugs was successful just because you did not experience the truama and fear is downright wrong. maybe you're right at the part when you mentioned that lives did change, but for the majority of us, it got worse.

you know sir,he is the only president to have guts to fight against drugs...many people here uses drugs,and its normal already in streets selling drugs..we as Filipino,we are thankful to have him as our president..
If the mother did not have access to drugs at the first place, or if the government provides adequate social services for the poor; would that happen? No. These issues should be solved with sociological perspective.
My classmate from highschool was killed back then by addicts, they jumped him, took his valuables, phone and wallet. He didn't resist and actually complied. But they still killed him with a stab in the neck. Where's the commission of human rights? R.I.P Jovencio Ratuita
@@olijay1202 You mean to say, Jovencio did not deserve the empathy of the CHR? Instead it's just for the criminals? Yeah right. How could you ever understand, when it didn't happen to you?
Please don't use emotional arguments like that. Drug use needs to be addressed by improving the living conditions of the people susceptible to its abuse. Imagine a poor person, abused by society, nothing to live for. Why would he care about killing another person. Its not the drugs, its the situation that makes people abuse them. And the govt need to adress this.
I really can't forget about what just happened to my father. He's also a drug user and pusher, and it really affects his attitude and the way he acts; he became irate and uncontrolled. He changed before Duterte became president because he knew he'd die if he didn't. BTW, he's also a supporter of Duterte.

@G.D MEAD yeah right we also dont wait for some drug addict to rape our daughters and sisters and robb our house its good for them, its better if all drug addict and pusher will be dead....
If PBS made a documentary about the victims of drug users. Innocent families being slaughtered in their sleep. Children raped and mutilated, senseless violence, robberies that all lead to drugs... Too bad liberal snowflakes have double standards. Reality will soon kick them in the teeth.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 they are shaming it because there's literally hundreds of cases where people got killed and they later proven innocent.. and majority of the people that got killed in this war is the poor's.. let's be honest here do you think this war was really effective?? Hell no how many drug Lords or protectors died during this war? You can count them in your 2 hands.. 🤡🤡 we all hate drugs but this "drug on war" is a bandaid solution when majority of the protectors of drugs is within the government..
Because it's shameful. You see how Bato fucking Dela Fucking Rosa says when a kid got killed? "Shit happens" No fucking empathy in sight. So Shame to Duterte and shame to the supporters. Fucking you guys enabled it. Drug ain't really that much of a problem here. Duterte just heightened it. lol Because he is a drug lord himself./
There is an effective solution if we have just and honest public officials, it is very narrow minded to look at these abuses of power by police and politicians as necessary in order to quell drug related crimes and improve public safety. It is for that very reason why these corrupt politicians want you to view it as such, because as long as you think that abuses of power = safety, these corrupt politicians will remain seated in the highest positions in the government motivated by their own personal interests rather than national interest and public interest in mind. For fucks sake, just look at the "gentleman's agreement" regarding Scarbrough Shoal. The former administration waived their own responsibility of protecting national waters inscribed in the Philippine Constitution mind you, just so you can feel 'safe' about China when all it does is weaken our country further. It's similar to how the allies used the same appeasement strategy to the Third Reich and we all know how well that preserved 50 million lives, prevented a genocide, and prevented a second world war. Until a cornered dog refuses to bite, the corner it hides in becomes smaller and smaller until it can no longer fight.
Agreed. People will always complain no mater who is the president. Each leader has a different resolve and focus, and I believe at that time, even at this time, Pres. Duterte and his resolve was and still is needed by our country and its people to this day.

Caloocan is bloody notorious for hold up, robbery and shooting. It was so scary to be out late and coming home late from work. Too many druggie and criminals in that city. They should put more police in that area.
Your ignorance and lack of compassion just reveals how the upper class pinned the poor against the poor. While they revel in their corruption with wealth, you donuts fight against each other.
@ ahahahha… barking at the wrong tree mate. I used to live in Caloocan, ive experienced how dangerous it was and we couldn’t get out at night because of the robbery and some were stabbed/dead. So unless you didnt experience it first hand from that place, just stfu and live in your bubble and get high!
The number of people when the curfew was announced (due to war on drugs) literally dropped in our area. I noticed this easily because my shift always coincide with me getting home past curfew due to the travel. Whereas before Duterte you get this thugs everywhere on our street - especially late at night, after the war on drugs started literally the numbers dropped to zero. There are one or two police at the road, but they're mostly just chatting around. It's kind of.. off-putting, at first. But I can't deny it made the streets safer to walk.
These are all happening because of poverty. All kinds of social problems arise with poverty. The real victims are the poor. It is not their choice to be poor. There is so much to be done than just threatening them. People should think. Who is really to be blamed? Coz i know who. Corrupt politicians.
The streets being safe is a matter of perspective. Yes sure there are less people at night, but the fact remains that the police arrest people and kill people at night, especially those in urban poor areas. Who knows? Maybe next time you will become a victim. That's the scary part about it.
In our very small town, during the first few weeks of President Duterte's war on drugs, about 100+ people surrendered to the police. It was such an overwhelming thing because we weren't expecting that we have such high number of users or worst pushers in our town. They surrendered voluntarily, which made it great because there wasn't any blood shed at all. One of my cousins who was just 16 that time were one of those who surrendered. I was in college back then. We were crying when we learned that he was influenced by his well off classmates. I didn't vote for President Duterte because I kind of feared him but with what happened to Ozamis and other drug pin cities and towns, I give him my salute. If only he can be president FOREVER. I pray that whoever becomes the next president continues what President Duterte has started. NO TO DRUGS IN THE PHILIPPINES!
@@pumpkin1094 those suppliers dropping off the drugs on your shores? how can you catch those not in your country? also, aren't they purging the source of those supplier's income? the sheer quantity your "poorer class" buys, even if, individually were little, if you stack 'em all then it's still a huge collection of money, bottomline is if you cut off the source of their income, they won't supply drugs, they don't want to go bankrupt risking their money if it's unproductive no?
I don't think it was made or even funded by PBS. It said who was responsible in the beginning, I just can't remember. They're more or less hosting it and giving props to the filmmaker.
@David Vazquez yes filipino, which is standardized tagalog, along with english is the 2 national languages of the PH, and there are also regional languages. 170 i think.
I'm from the Philippines in Mindanao, I grew up seeing kids and adults doing drugs daily. I even have friends who are drug addicts and they just talk about it casually like they didn't do anything bad. There were a lot of crimes happening here especially burglary at night or day just so they could buy drugs, and some of the drug addict family member sell some of their valuable stuff, like the parents jewelries, appliances, shoes etc. Gang riots on the streets everyday, when these bastards are high on drugs they just wanna go crazy and violent. I know this may look bad to the western peoples point of view but we Filipinos are already so fed up with these junkies going in and out of prison doing the same crimes. Politicians and high ranking police officials are also involved on drug deals. We badly need a leader that could stop these corruption before its too late. You people can't blame us if we voted for a leader like President Duterte, he is the one we need in times like this.
The people using drugs are victims of the peoe producing drugs. Duterte could fix the problem by going after the people producing drugs and also by creating opportunities to make money in an honest way. This brutality only creates misery and suffering and by no means corrects the root of the problem. We have a worse drug problem in my city than you have in the Philippines. I've personally witnessed the transformation of junkies into productive members of society. Love is the answer for most. Only very few are wicked people at their core . I respect the patriotic instinct and also have a tendency to play devil's advocate. That's the only advocacy Duterte is worthy of 👿
@@juantrevino8608I pray for this as well. the son of a bitch could have built rehabs and made opportunities for former addicts to be productive members of society. Instead he slaughters them and brags about it.

They themselves know what they are doing is bad and they still do it anyway.

I have friends that do drugs, drink and smoke, but I never became one of them.
I as a Citizen of the Philippines witness a big change in our Country under Duterte. The Crime rate massively drop, The Infrastructure projects flourish and a Fast and Quick response against the effects of the Calamity, against the Communist insurgency and against Terrorism, That is why the Law-Abiding Citizens are not afraid of this. But I also recognize that there are numbers of human rights abuses under President Duterte where the Police are involved.
💯 agree. You can only choose 1 pill to swallow. There will surely be police scalawags and that's the responsibility of the PNP chief and DILG. It's sad that our country is slowly going back to a high crime rate and drug businesses are starting to flourish. I missed Digong being President except the friendship with Asshole Xi of China.
If your president had any understanding of human rights then he shouldn't of implemented such a draconian approach in dealing with the drug problem. Portugal did the exact opposite in handling their drug problem, and it's worked for them, its about harm reduction, proper education getting addicts proper treatment, and giving them a chance to try and get better and show perhaps just a little freaking compassion for addicts because I'm a former addict myself, and its heartbreaking how all addicts (not just in your country but everywhere especially here in the US) are stigmatized and treated as lost cause pieces of sh!t, because that couldn't be further from the truth. At least addicts here don't have to worry about "death squads" patrolling their neighborhoods killing people because they choose to get high.
@@DarkSektori Your comparing two different cultures and two different statuses 1st world vs 3rd world. SG is praised with these kinds of rules during lee kwan yu's days. lee kwan yu's government beat people in public and send drug dealers to their deaths. people praised SG today.
@@gabbytayApathy at its finest, First of all a human being is no less or more important than another because of what country or culture they live in or whatever, its irrelevant. Secondly this "the end justifies the means" approach is the same tool dictators have used throughout history and it never ends well. You guys want to get rid of the dealers go ahead, they won't be missed, of course decriminalization would literally put them out of business faster then the phony "war on drugs" has, but there's no time for rational solutions, so anyways. I'm talking about addicts, many of whom are not bad people, they themselves are sick and need legitimate help, but that president is totally apathetic towards them, whatever if he wants to send out his "death squads" to go CoD on addicts then that's on him and the people who put him power, but don't expect the rest of the world to approve or to not express their thoughts on the matter. You'll never be able to justify this kind policy. Nobody ever wins these type of wars, everyone loses. Let me ask you a question then, do you know what it's like to be an addict? or better yet, have you ever known someone that's an addict, what if that someone was a family member or someone you really cared about and was an addict and they fell victim to this lunacy, would you be ok with that? 3rd world country or 1st world country, the drugs don't care either way about that, when you're an addict the drug(s) literally owns you, mentally and physically, people need to understand that.
@@gabbytay Drug dealers are a completely different matter altogether, personally i could care less about them, of course eradicating prohibition altogether would likely put most of them out of business anyway. Marijuana for example while not fully legal here in the US is legal in the state i live in (both recreational and medicinal) and we can just go to a dispensary and buy clean, high quality weed that's grown and supervised under controlled conditions by professionals, no worries about it being laced or cut by a dealer who wants to increase profits. When are people going to realize, that the so called "war on drugs" was lost along time ago (the drugs won) and that prohibition has historically failed time and time again, all it does is remove quality control, crates a "black market" and fuels organized crime and international terrorist organizations. In a nutshell the
I am a public school teacher here in the Philippines assigned in a far-flung 4th class municipality where there is no signal and I have witnessed how DRUGS PROLIFERATED the area. Some of our students would go to school under the influence of drugs and they confessed to us how and where they take drugs. I even had a student who push drugs for money, and he was proud of it. That is how life was for them before, but it was all changed when DUTERTE came into power in 2016. Drug addicts and dealers knew that they have to stop because they knew they will be dealt with strongly by the government, and low and behold the area is now drug-free since then. Some elites living in the metro and studying in prestigious universities or foreigners only read stories about this, and most often than not they are the ones commenting against the war on drugs. They cannot understand the gruesome realities on the ground, they do not know how the play goes in the field where compassion, love, and care to change the Drug Addicts could no longer sustain, and yet it kills a lot of young people, fathers and mothers and families. DUTERTE WAR ON DRUGS becomes LEGITIMATE because the people felt the effects of it on the ground, they feel safe they feel free from fear of being killed and fear of being raped and stab to death on the streets among others. It may not sound pragmatic on resolving the issue, but overall Duterte's War on Drugs helped the Philippines from being a Narco-State. You may watch on TH-cam how people live in narco-states now ---We don't want that.
Nung highschool ako classmate ko nag dadala ng shabu sa school tapos pinapasama nya yung iba kong classmate para I try yon nakaka lungkot lalo na sa parents nila.

He is the best President in Philippine history. His war against drugs is one if not the most successful campaign a president has ever done. During his time, the Philippines was in it’s safest. We never felt so safe until Duterte came
He's a true monster, I used to vacation is Davao, when he was the mayor. I never felt in danger, Everyone seemed happy, safe. Hell you couldn't smoke in public, they have 911 and clean water. Sunday mornings he had a TV show, he'd call people out by name and warn them to leave Davao, or....... the DDS would visit them if they didn't listen to his warning. The Filipino people are amazing, Long Live The Philippines
@@metal0-138 MY POINT STILL STANDS YOU DONT HAVE 9-11. Literally only the US has 9-11. You may have an emergency contact number thats three digits, BUT ITS NOT 9-11
I just watched a few documentaries about the Sinaloa and other drug cartels in Mexico. There, the cartels became more powerful than the police, because previous governments did nothing against the illegal drug menace. Civilians, policemen and journalists who offended the cartels are killed everyday. President Duterte's war on drugs has stopped, or at least delayed the Philippines from becoming another narco state like Mexico. That is a fact every ordinary Filipino knows and appreciate.
Colombia and Mexico themselves admit a war on drugs is a losing war. It is a persecution of the poor and the marginalized. The war on drugs' only achievement is to limit the supply of drugs and to jack up the price for someone's benefit
it only lessened the chances of marginalized people/people who lived in poverty to resort to drugs-but let the rich who had access to privilege roam free.
the sad part is only the poor people died while the rich remained free. not all the victims of this war are involved in drugs btw. a lot of innocent people died cuz they were either framed up or a mistaken identity. the police got too comfortable killing civillians cuz the state always defended them. it's hard to trust the police these days knowing that they took too many iinocent lives and took advantage of their position.
It's somewhat biased, but it's 9/10, a good documentary. My main problem with this kind of documentary is it always focuses on the victims of the drug war, not the victims of drug users. Living in the Ghetto, I can assure you, these drug addicts are a real menace. They steal from hardworking people. They rob, assault, and even kill just to fund their addiction. Sometimes, high on their drugs, they would harass nearby residents. There was a student in the area I live in where addicts shot a him with an improvised gun using a steel pipe. You can't leave your house at night without the risk of getting mugged and murdered. Of course, criminals can pretend to be a victim after they died or got caught, why would they care about their prey? Have you ever cared for the food you just ate? For the plant and animal you just ate? It's similar, but not exactly the same, but for addicts, it might as well be. Although, The police themselves are also quite the menace, while not to the same extent as drug addicts, they're still a menace. Serve and protect? If serving someone means treating you like an insect, then sure maybe. I support the President's methods, however his execution of his methods were poor. Only poverty-stricken addicts die, while the rich drug lords survive. Why? Because they have connections to the police. Some of the high ranking police officers are even drug lords. In Davao City's city jail, the city where the president and his family lived for a few decades, you can still find addicts in the Ghetto area. Even in the City Jail, a drug courier can get caught in the act and still leave the premises without any scratches. That's how terrible his execution was. I even know some people who are 100% drug addicts themselves but were never caught or slain by the police. There was only one guy that got arrested. And it was back in his first year in the office 2016-2017. In the end, his drug war is just as terribly executed as his Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach project. It's only purpose is to plug the holes of a leaking dam, and not fixing the root cause of the leak.
Agree with you bro. They just want to push their narrative that the drug war was bad. It was bad for the drug users, but mostly positive for the good people. I myself was a victim of a robbery held at gunpoint and I saw that the robber's eyes were flush red. No choice but to give my cellphone and wallet. That's why I am supportive of the drug war.
The core issue is poverty, corruption, no future and shit school system. The future for children have not changed in decades, the wheel of bullshit is turning faster than ever. Marcos family back at business - how deep can my country fall?
@@timm6112no, the point is that people die all around the world whether it be politics, tyranny, poverty or straight up mass genocide. But in countries like this then it isn't the case, it's justified for a cause of something greater. Rather than screwing with the population, this helped alot than just ignoring the drug crisis.

@Elijah Edric Guinto welp I agree, we all know these "killings" but you should also credit their effort for these people. The government gave them a chance to acknowledge their habits and even gave them support for their rehab. 1.26 million drug addicts were given help just on the first few months - It's funny how this video makes the police look evil just like dem telenovelas. If you look at it from an obvious perspective, the police are hunting down drug addicts ever since and the current government just gave them more support to do their job. I don't glorify Duterte, I am just happy that this current government is functioning (exaggerated of course) compared to the previous ones. But what do you think of the Vice Pres's solution of removing guns from our police forces? Hahaha I don't know what's going on anymore hahahah jesus.
@Elijah Edric Guinto bro.. hahaha I'm from Paranaque and moved here in Davao for almost 2 years now and jesus, cant even tell if there's really Martial Law here hahaha and FYI everyone is actually happy knowing the government is looking after it's people 24/7 - bantay sarado buong city naka cctv - meron lang mang holdup sa mga streets mahuhule kagad after ilang hours.

Drugs will never be solved because the number one drug lord is Central Intelligence Agency that used drug money to finance their covert operations and at the same time enrich themselves and their bosses. Illegal drugs business is also a lucrative business thereby the motivation. The old saying never fails: "Follow the money trail and you will understand what is going on".

Remember these officers protect us and our families , they put their life in danger every day because they go against the worst scum society has to offer. What's happening in the Philippines is a case of the police and the people getting tired of the ineffectiveness of the laws , which like in the US criminals get caught one day only to be let go a couple of days later , then committing the same crimes all over again. Some times criminals are exterminated extra judicially , this may not be pretty , but it's effective.
@@alfredosenalle9284 Though it may have good results on the decreasing amount of drugs present in the Philippines, the number of innocent victims killed hasn't been fully justified by law. Not saying what Duterte did was wrong, I, in fact, admired Duterte's goal of eradicating drugs from the Philippines, only that it can be done and improved with less bloodshed and with more diplomacy being involved so that these cases of unlawful killings can also be put to light and no one (even the officers) has to risk their lives anymore. Though I'm a bit disturbed that Duterte compared himself to Hitler and seemed happy and proud about it...
@@shroomie3086 Year after year it's been tried and always failed. The only way to combat drugs and crime is the violent way. Yes , there will be some casualties , but there's always casualties if the bad guys aren't eliminated. In fact as long as they're around , more and more innocent people are going to die.
The so called war on drugs cannot be won, even with the draconian way by Duterte. Actually calling it a war is already the path to a wrong mindset, as this isn´t about winning. It was shown time and again that a system with rights and an emphasis on prevention and accountability works best to reduce the damage of drugs from society in a meaningful and lasting way. Allowing consenting adults a recreational use in form of decriminalization (and sending them to education/rehab centers instead of prison/killing them ) has proven very effective like in Portugal. Also I´d bet my left kidney that a lot of those police officers and officials shown here are corrupt, threatening innocent civilians and some are heavy drug users themselves. With no oversight and accountability they will do more damage to society than drugs alone would over the years.

Same din dito sa cebu particular sa Duljo cebu, ang siga ng mga druglord under pa nila mga pulis pag lumaban ka sa kanila mamamatay ka kya thankful ako kay pres duterte
TBH It's a bit scary here in Caloocan, there are a lot of addicts. Actually, our house is one of the places where the addict ran away when the police chase him but unfortunately he died. yes we were scared but we would be more scared if the addicts are still alive there and do evil things
@@gigihsetiawanp62 well this past couple of years i think the caloocan is more safer than before. But president duterte once said if he won for vice president this upcoming election he will continue the war on drugs to become the ph more safe, well that's why i will vote him.
@@gigihsetiawanp62 these is we, filipinos want, eradicate all druglords and give chance to those who fall from using drugs.. we are more safe now than the past administrations..we love our President and we support him all the way.
Before President Duterte became President of the Philippines the country is terribly terribly upside down because of the drugs and there are lots of kidnappings, raped cases because the drug addicts increased, most of the local mayors, governors, senators, policemen, some military officers are involved too…including Barangays. Most of the government officials are involved in drug trafficking like the former DILG Delima….When President Duterte became President, everything have changed and the Country becoming better and better until now, that’s why the Filipino people love him so much and we are so proud of him. Everything the opposition said against President Duterte are all lies it’s all black propagandas they paid people to ruined his reputation.
@@edmondt848 Lol. We are not forcing people to visit Philippines but I can tell you, it's safe here. This documentary doesn't describe the whole Philippines.
Yet his war on drug campaign failed to curb down the drug industry in the Philippines. He might kill thousands of drug pushers and users but he can't eradicate the drug problem because no drug lords haven't arrested or killed yet.
@@MrWackydoodles if that's really effective, why still the drugs trade didn't come lose? That war on drug campaign didn't done it's job well. Only the poor are persecuted and still no DRUG LORDS are arrested yet.
I just wanna say, the cinematography in this is *chef's kiss* liiiiiike this the kind of environment I grew up in and they manage to make it feel so cool whaaaaat
@@xereyksfernandez5947 vote? The filipinos are the president, duterte only represents us. Now if majority of the filipinos believes and approves to him as our representative. Then we can safe to say that he does his job very well.
I am living in a drug infested city in Metro Manila "Caloocan" it has been that way since I was a kid 90's. All of my relatives including my wife and kid has been a victim of robbery and hold-up. Ever since Duterte became the president our streets are now safe you can walk anytime of the day doesn't matter if you are a girl. I am so happy that I am now seeing a lot of women jogging on our streets 4AM in the morning not worrying about anything. Criminals are so afraid they know they will just end up in jail or hell. I remember when Duterte is delivering his promises that the measurement if a city is safe is that a woman should be able to walk on the streets at 2am without being bothered by anyone! He delivered it with flying colors!! The first 3 years of his term is so brutal really a lot of dead bodies my friends call it "Cleansing" now we are getting the benefits of it. These past 2 years there are no more deaths like before probably all of the criminals are dead. Thank you President!! Philippines is now a really safe country!!
I lived in Caloocan too and I left the Philippines last friday and work overseas. All I can say is that this statement is true. Caloocan is different now after a lot of drug users and sellers were eliminated.
I don't like Duterte's approach its like that of a child's. Its so black and white. Its just going to force more people to use more drugs in the future because those drug pushers and sellers had friends and family that miss them. Duterte did not consider that there were better alternatives out there like drug clinics and dealing with poverty. Now he is setting on a time bomb once he leaves office usage will go back up again because now people will turn to drugs to deal with the problems he created.
That’s ignorance, you cannot kill off a drug or it’s users you can only push them more underground. Addicts will stay addicts unless they receive and take help. Killing a few hundred thousand people won’t do any good for society. It will only create more violence - look at the PH jails - overloaded - making small time drug users to real criminals - jails are not there to reincarnate - they are just there to put it out of sight out of mind. Filipinos forget how broken the legal system and government is. It’s time for Filipinos to stand up and take their future into their own hands. Clean this country of corruption and families who rule and run the country.
In my opinion here is that Pres.Duterte was the perfect example on the book named The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli where he prefered to be feared than loved,but the Filipinos loved him because he cared for his country despite being criticized by others especially the American government.And the Filipinos feared him for his discipline and superiority over the criminals...which is good because if you don't strike fear to the heart of the criminals they will just throw sh*t right in your face.😁
The criminality rate in the PH during Duterte's term has dropped to a whopping 54%, numbers previous administrations only dreamed of having and failed in doing. You see this side of the story when what really is affected with these are everybody else.
really? shame on you!! no record of criminality bec policemen became criminals ,,,,they were courageous to do so,,why?bec of the kill,kill,kill state policy ,right?

An important point to consider is that the accusations against Duterte have not been proven in a legal setting, as no official charges have been brought against him. Additionally, it is significant to acknowledge that the individuals accusing Duterte in congress has a criminal history, which raises doubts about the credibility of their claims. Unfortunately, many people are quick to believe these unsubstantiated accusations.
This documentary is so good in quality (i think) that it makes me feel wrong for watching it for free. Thank you PBS for providing this content. I understand that in tackling such a big chronical social issue, the government needs to use a strong measure against the drug user and drug pusher. But It also has a duty to dicipline their law enforcement officers so that they don't use excessive violences toward the people. But still, I hope the campaign to be success and Phillipines people can be free from drug addiction and violence in the future.
@@chris.hartliss Well i did'nt know that, haha and i don't care. But It is reasonable for people to hate what the government doing as the PBS portrayed in this documentary. I am neither a Westerner nor Phillipines and my feeling toward this is neutral because I don't know how the real situation inside Phillipine is, yet i don't want to be mislead by the media narration either. So i am just trying to positive thinking here. Btw, I am watching this because it has good cynematography and the story is captivating anyway.
@@SuperHutomo I think we can all respect that. It is a shame to see so many ruthless killings though. Still, it is always best to look at a situation from a neutral position. Not sure where you are from but blessings from the West Coast of the U.S.✊🏼
@@SuperHutomo as a guy that came from the exact place shown in this documentary living here isn't always bad. there's alot of noise it's densely populated but mostly it's livable. If you're very clean you're less likely to get into violence. thief or robbery isn't rare here in a span of decade we've experienced one attempted robbery on our vehicle (luckily got caught by our neighbors) and 2 from my auntie's house here. there are situation here where if someone needed a serious help people would start helping them such as one of the situation i've experience is nearby house got caught in fire and my neighbors started bringing their own bucket of water to extinguish it. it was put out before the fire fighters arrived. Is the media bias on showing the problems here on caloocan? no. I've experienced here in school that some of the students got caught taking an illegal drug at the back. one of my classmate almost got killed outside back then fraternities, gangs, etc are common here. gang looking outfit are very common here in fact probably main outfit style of teens here. common things you'll see here is people just living their own life (going to work and back home), transportation, teens walking around, bystanders, kids playing outside and the extremely common bikers (motorbikes and bicycles)
Also, note that this documentary covers mainly Caloocan. Situation are for sure different in other cities. Some places worse, some not that bad. I can say that in my city it's so much better than the situation in Manila.
I have lived in South Caloocan for 12 years then I'm living now in North Caloocan for 5 years. Both have a lot of drug addicts but I say it's the worst here in the North. It's like little Tondo. In all honesty I felt safer when I walked in the south as a growing teen but here in the north, I didn't even wanna go outside beyond 6 in the evening. Every corner has addicts smoking, drinking alcohol and exchanging drugs. You'd fear to tell the police because they will come for you when they get released. Funny how fast they can be released tho.
I live in manila and i know theres a lot of drug user here, but to be honest i never felt any danger here even when im walking late at night. Maybe because i know im not involved in drugs or any crime syndicate, but whenever i watch the news they always say theres always a lot of drug user getting killed here. To say that its no longer safe to walk on the streets because of this war on drugs campaign is TRUE if your involved in drugs. But you can live peacefully as long you don't get involved in drugs.
3:16, I'm Indonesian I just realized when I heard she said that, we have the same word and pronounciation for child which is 'anak' and 'mu' as the possessive marker. We also have very strict rule for drugs but not as strict, u could be in jail for 7 years or even more just for the possession of Amfethamine although u're just a user with not that much amount of it.
Indonesian cops and their anti-drugs task force are highly corrupt. They ask for Rp25 to 50 million for bail if you're "an ordinary drug user", but if you're a celebrity the cops would parade you to the media to show the public that they're doing their job. You should see their office; the laptops they use are gaming laptops, there's a PS4, a 50" flatscreen and cable TV subscription.
@@billielachatte4841 well, that's not entirely true. I know that they are corrupt I mean people do know that but once they caught u there's no bail whatsoever. I know the amount u say here isn't a surprise anymore and they do take the money to reduce the sentences. For the poor crackheads with no money, they will just sentence them for maximum. I mean u shouldn't touch the thing in the first place, ever.
Possession, trafficking and manufacture of any illegal drugs are serious offences in Indonesia...the indonesian authorities have a zero-tolerance policy and those caught face lengthy prison sentences or the death penalty....

A wife and husband that run a parlor besides our restaurants also use meth and the husband was caught and jailed. So yeah I know something about them..they are easily to be pissed and can really be aggressive. We don't report our chef and waiter coz they are our friends and they are not that bad criminal beside using drugs. But my uncle is a drug user and fricken rapist, and I wish he fricken die or killed by these cops. You don't know how they brain works. When I just joking to our chef "are you on drugs" he will threaten me and be very aggressive and tell me "I'm not using drugs". I know it coz how they consume the aluminum foil and how the other chef told me. And lol, drugs here in Philippines are called shabu, all of those killing was because of shabu. Some killer or hitman uses shabu to make themselves crazy and do things they don't want to. Some killer said that when they are on shabu, stabbing a children is just like stabbing a cottons
If u r a police officer, then stop smoking nicotine drugs the most addictive of all drugs. Bet u cant quit smoking, because u or your police comrads are addicted to nicotine drugs.
my uncle was user and seller. I am happy he stop when President Duterte became the president. He is now living happily with his family in the province raising pigs and chickens.
We have been menaced by the On the street buy of drugs. Since PRRD to took over the Philippine Government our streets has started to get a safe "to walk again". There are Politicians, Businesses and Private Strong Group that our President struggle to fight. I for one is grateful for his actions. Though I think there's are also authorities who took the trust into abuse and this should be dealt with accordingly.
Everyone in the comments saying that Mexico should do the same thing don't know that Mexico, under Pres. Calderon, declared war on the Cartels in 2006 and it has turned our very bad. So many people have died and nothing of significance has been accomplished. Different countries need different solutions. Mexico is right next to the largest drug market in the world and has access to an arsenal of weaponry because of the US lax gun laws.
Not working on mexico because mexican drugs lord already control the government, police, military and society They use high power firearms and even know undercover cops family's member and make them hostage that was stupid

Despite his efforts to rid the city of goons and illegal drugs, Colonel Modequillo's tenure was cut short due to influence of corrupt local politicians and crooked higher authorities in the chain of command of the PNP. His anti-criminality efforts were getting headway but sadly is a roadblock to the profits of politicians in the city and the criminal organization based in Camp Crame...
This will just create a new narco state like Mexico. The drug flow won’t ever stop because there is a demand. If you arrest or kill a rapist there will be less people getting raped/ if you arrest or kill a drug dealer there won’t be less drugs or addicts. if he implied rehabilitation as much as he does violence maybe then we would see more changes. If they legalized drugs then the criminals wouldn’t be motivated to sell them since they needed to compete with legal drug stores with better and safer quality products. If you support the drug laws means you support criminals and the endless pain that comes with it… We don’t need more police we need drug policy changes. Drugs always win in the end doesn’t matter what you try
Living in this country was hell years ago before Duterte and since he has been President things have got a hell of a lot better. There were snatchers, open crimes and drugs that ran rampant. you could not walk down the street without some incidents happening. The President cleaned up his own home town when he was governor there with zero tolerance and that is what he bought to the drug dealers when President. No country has any right to interfere in another countries problems or war on drugs and America should butt out as it's own drug problems are the highest in the world. How many drug lords and dealers have America killed? Three thousand major criminals were killed but how many lives did they destroy with their poison. This does not portray a correct rendition of the facts and it also does not say or show how many criminals gave themselves up which was tens of thousands and not killed. If a criminal shoots at you while trying to apprehend them they chose what happens next. He cleaned up the crooked police and politicians and many other forms of corruption in the Philippines and now you can feel a lot safer than before. Unless you have seen this for yourself then do not judge another countries way of dealing with the problems drugs bring to the people. To a lot of people he is a hero and he did things that other previous presidents did nothing about so don't judge if you can not fix the problems in your own country.
Is it good to murder a taxi driver for using drugs in the past? Is it good to kill him in public on the street in the presence of his son? Violence creates violence.
LIES!!!! I received 3 death threats from the president’s loyal dogs by giving my opinion on the booming number of extrajudicial killings. According to Bensouda’s report, there was a reason to believe that state actors have killed thousands of civilians under the drug war and that vigilante-style killings were perpetrated by police officers themselves or other private individuals hired by authorities - leading to a death toll of between 12,000 to 30,000 civilians. This was based on claims that extrajudicial killings (EJKs) have been rampant in the country. Violence will never be the answer. Violence is a short-term solution to a long-term problem.

Haruki Machine2 if duterte hates media why not he shut down all media outlets. When he shut down all media, we have no more information and no entertainment such as public service programs, variety shows, comedy shows, dramas, movies on TV, cartoons and animes, religious programs, especially koreanovelas and asianovelas then what do we do about it and how do we entertain ourselves?
We're both from Davao but my family have become more cautious since the drug war, and half of them are Duterte supporters. We personally know of people who were either victims of mistaken identity or killed politically in the guise of drug war.
Pres. Duterte is battling for the soul of his people's future in the Philippines. If the drugs win -- kiss your children's children and country goodbye. The cost is heavy but if I am reading into this correctly -- the benefits will last into the later generations of Philippine people.
The guy at 45:30 said it best. I hope there is a hell and a special place in it for Duterte. There is one thing that really stands out in this video, none of the members of the handful of families that run the country were implicated in this horror show. It's a war on the poor, where are the big drugs busts? There are none and business goes on as usual for those supplying the people getting killed. I was born and raised on Guam and was in the Philippines the first time in 1960, my sisters both went to school there, my father is buried there. To see it just turn into what it has just hurts. What a tragedy..
Right I remember as I was studying in manila, before duterte it was so scary to walk even in streets, in metro.. there were beggars with syringes and men openly walking with gun was a common sight and I was always scared but after he came in power, it was all changed! But medias always showed him as a negative person coz medias are bought by this drug lords, their PR and terrorist these days. And drugs and terrorism goes hand in hand. Drugs and terrorism are inseparable!
@@PraneshaChannel wasnʼt that also the case with ABS-CBN? Although it wasn't the reason why it closed, it was said that after that, many came to realize after switching TV channels that the ABS-CBN news were really biased against Duterte and his campaigns.

In fighting a bloody war on drugs, you dont only need a very strong will and conviction, you also need discipline. It would take a great effort not to fall in a quagmire of a corrupt system that is waiting to swallow you whole.

For my family, drug war made our family strong. My uncle was addicted to drugs and because of that, my other uncles started abandoning him cause he never change no matter how much they help him. It also caused a lot of problems in our family causing for some of us to start ignoring each other and losing respect at each other. The worst thing of it is he has 4 children and most of them are girl. His wife sometimes needs to chase him cause he always finds a way to escape and do that thing. His children were separated. The first daughter was living with my other uncle. We thought her life would be better there but she suffered from the daughters of my uncle. The first son was living with my another uncle. Goodthing my uncle and his wife are kind and also their son so the first son did have a great life there. The remaining 2 are with their mother. Their life was truly in mess. But because of drug war, my uncle change a lot. He started helping his own family and his relationship with his siblings also did get better. He found a job and finally got a chance to be close with his children again. He is now doing well and great

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 they are shaming it because there's literally hundreds of cases where people got killed and they later proven innocent.. and majority of the people that got killed in this war is the poor's.. let's be honest here do you think this war was really effective?? Hell no how many drug Lords or protectors died during this war? You can count them in your 2 hands.. 🤡🤡 we all hate drugs but this "drug on war" is a bandaid solution when majority of the protectors of drugs is within the government..
Because it's shameful. You see how Bato fucking Dela Fucking Rosa says when a kid got killed? "Shit happens" No fucking empathy in sight. So Shame to Duterte and shame to the supporters. Fucking you guys enabled it. Drug ain't really that much of a problem here. Duterte just heightened it. lol Because he is a drug lord himself./
There is an effective solution if we have just and honest public officials, it is very narrow minded to look at these abuses of power by police and politicians as necessary in order to quell drug related crimes and improve public safety. It is for that very reason why these corrupt politicians want you to view it as such, because as long as you think that abuses of power = safety, these corrupt politicians will remain seated in the highest positions in the government motivated by their own personal interests rather than national interest and public interest in mind. For fucks sake, just look at the "gentleman's agreement" regarding Scarbrough Shoal. The former administration waived their own responsibility of protecting national waters inscribed in the Philippine Constitution mind you, just so you can feel 'safe' about China when all it does is weaken our country further. It's similar to how the allies used the same appeasement strategy to the Third Reich and we all know how well that preserved 50 million lives, prevented a genocide, and prevented a second world war. Until a cornered dog refuses to bite, the corner it hides in becomes smaller and smaller until it can no longer fight.
Agreed. People will always complain no mater who is the president. Each leader has a different resolve and focus, and I believe at that time, even at this time, Pres. Duterte and his resolve was and still is needed by our country and its people to this day.

Caloocan is bloody notorious for hold up, robbery and shooting. It was so scary to be out late and coming home late from work. Too many druggie and criminals in that city. They should put more police in that area.
Your ignorance and lack of compassion just reveals how the upper class pinned the poor against the poor. While they revel in their corruption with wealth, you donuts fight against each other.
@ ahahahha… barking at the wrong tree mate. I used to live in Caloocan, ive experienced how dangerous it was and we couldn’t get out at night because of the robbery and some were stabbed/dead. So unless you didnt experience it first hand from that place, just stfu and live in your bubble and get high!
The number of people when the curfew was announced (due to war on drugs) literally dropped in our area. I noticed this easily because my shift always coincide with me getting home past curfew due to the travel. Whereas before Duterte you get this thugs everywhere on our street - especially late at night, after the war on drugs started literally the numbers dropped to zero. There are one or two police at the road, but they're mostly just chatting around.
It's kind of.. off-putting, at first. But I can't deny it made the streets safer to walk.
Until the police shoots you because they mistook you for a suspect:)
These are all happening because of poverty. All kinds of social problems arise with poverty. The real victims are the poor. It is not their choice to be poor. There is so much to be done than just threatening them. People should think. Who is really to be blamed? Coz i know who. Corrupt politicians.
The streets being safe is a matter of perspective. Yes sure there are less people at night, but the fact remains that the police arrest people and kill people at night, especially those in urban poor areas. Who knows? Maybe next time you will become a victim. That's the scary part about it.
I agree

In our very small town, during the first few weeks of President Duterte's war on drugs, about 100+ people surrendered to the police. It was such an overwhelming thing because we weren't expecting that we have such high number of users or worst pushers in our town. They surrendered voluntarily, which made it great because there wasn't any blood shed at all. One of my cousins who was just 16 that time were one of those who surrendered. I was in college back then. We were crying when we learned that he was influenced by his well off classmates. I didn't vote for President Duterte because I kind of feared him but with what happened to Ozamis and other drug pin cities and towns, I give him my salute. If only he can be president FOREVER. I pray that whoever becomes the next president continues what President Duterte has started.

I'm from the Philippines in Mindanao, I grew up seeing kids and adults doing drugs daily. I even have friends who are drug addicts and they just talk about it casually like they didn't do anything bad. There were a lot of crimes happening here especially burglary at night or day just so they could buy drugs, and some of the drug addict family member sell some of their valuable stuff, like the parents jewelries, appliances, shoes etc. Gang riots on the streets everyday, when these bastards are high on drugs they just wanna go crazy and violent. I know this may look bad to the western peoples point of view but we Filipinos are already so fed up with these junkies going in and out of prison doing the same crimes. Politicians and high ranking police officials are also involved on drug deals. We badly need a leader that could stop these corruption before its too late. You people can't blame us if we voted for a leader like President Duterte, he is the one we need in times like this.
I agree. !
I hope and pray that the International Criminal Court will lock his ass up.
There are too many human rights violated.
The people using drugs are victims of the peoe producing drugs.
Duterte could fix the problem by going after the people producing drugs and also by creating opportunities to make money in an honest way.
This brutality only creates misery and suffering and by no means corrects the root of the problem. We have a worse drug problem in my city than you have in the Philippines. I've personally witnessed the transformation of junkies into productive members of society.
Love is the answer for most. Only very few are wicked people at their core .
I respect the patriotic instinct and also have a tendency to play devil's advocate.
That's the only advocacy Duterte is worthy of 👿
@@juantrevino8608I pray for this as well. the son of a bitch could have built rehabs and made opportunities for former addicts to be productive members of society. Instead he slaughters them and brags about it.
@@swiggy7950 No, they aren't, unless they are forced against their will. They have a choice like you and me, we are not retarded to not know what is good and bad. They themselves know what they are doing is bad and they still do it anyway. Even if we are a poor country, there are still decent jobs out here, but these lazy baskets just want easy money, so they deal with drugs. I have friends that do drugs, drink and smoke, but I never became one of them.
I as a Citizen of the Philippines witness a big change in our Country under Duterte. The Crime rate massively drop, The Infrastructure projects flourish and a Fast and Quick response against the effects of the Calamity, against the Communist insurgency and against Terrorism, That is why the Law-Abiding Citizens are not afraid of this. But I also recognize that there are numbers of human rights abuses under President Duterte where the Police are involved.
💯 agree. You can only choose 1 pill to swallow. There will surely be police scalawags and that's the responsibility of the PNP chief and DILG. It's sad that our country is slowly going back to a high crime rate and drug businesses are starting to flourish. I missed Digong being President except the friendship with Asshole Xi of China.
If your president had any understanding of human rights then he shouldn't of implemented such a draconian approach in dealing with the drug problem.
Portugal did the exact opposite in handling their drug problem, and it's worked for them, its about harm reduction, proper education getting addicts proper treatment, and giving them a chance to try and get better and show perhaps just a little freaking compassion for addicts because I'm a former addict myself, and its heartbreaking how all addicts (not just in your country but everywhere especially here in the US) are stigmatized and treated as lost cause pieces of sh!t, because that couldn't be further from the truth. At least addicts here don't have to worry about "death squads" patrolling their neighborhoods killing people because they choose to get high.
@@DarkSektori Your comparing two different cultures and two different statuses 1st world vs 3rd world. SG is praised with these kinds of rules during lee kwan yu's days. lee kwan yu's government beat people in public and send drug dealers to their deaths. people praised SG today.
@@gabbytayApathy at its finest,
First of all a human being is no less or more important than another because of what country or culture they live in or whatever, its irrelevant.
Secondly this "the end justifies the means" approach is the same tool dictators have used throughout history and it never ends well.
You guys want to get rid of the dealers go ahead, they won't be missed, of course decriminalization would literally put them out of business faster then the phony "war on drugs" has, but there's no time for rational solutions, so anyways.
I'm talking about addicts, many of whom are not bad people, they themselves are sick and need legitimate help, but that president is totally apathetic towards them, whatever if he wants to send out his "death squads" to go CoD on addicts then that's on him and the people who put him power, but don't expect the rest of the world to approve or to not express their thoughts on the matter. You'll never be able to justify this kind policy. Nobody ever wins these type of wars, everyone loses.
Let me ask you a question then, do you know what it's like to be an addict? or better yet, have you ever known someone that's an addict, what if that someone was a family member or someone you really cared about and was an addict and they fell victim to this lunacy, would you be ok with that? 3rd world country or 1st world country, the drugs don't care either way about that, when you're an addict the drug(s) literally owns you, mentally and physically, people need to understand that.
@@gabbytay Drug dealers are a completely different matter altogether, personally i could care less about them, of course eradicating prohibition altogether would likely put most of them out of business anyway. Marijuana for example while not fully legal here in the US is legal in the state i live in (both recreational and medicinal) and we can just go to a dispensary and buy clean, high quality weed that's grown and supervised under controlled conditions by professionals, no worries about it being laced or cut by a dealer who wants to increase profits.
When are people going to realize, that the so called "war on drugs" was lost along time ago (the drugs won) and that prohibition has historically failed time and time again, all it does is remove quality control, crates a "black market" and fuels organized crime and international terrorist organizations.
In a nutshell the

I am a public school teacher here in the Philippines assigned in a far-flung 4th class municipality where there is no signal and I have witnessed how DRUGS PROLIFERATED the area. Some of our students would go to school under the influence of drugs and they confessed to us how and where they take drugs. I even had a student who push drugs for money, and he was proud of it. That is how life was for them before, but it was all changed when DUTERTE came into power in 2016. Drug addicts and dealers knew that they have to stop because they knew they will be dealt with strongly by the government, and low and behold the area is now drug-free since then. Some elites living in the metro and studying in prestigious universities or foreigners only read stories about this, and most often than not they are the ones commenting against the war on drugs. They cannot understand the gruesome realities on the ground, they do not know how the play goes in the field where compassion, love, and care to change the Drug Addicts could no longer sustain, and yet it kills a lot of young people, fathers and mothers and families. DUTERTE WAR ON DRUGS becomes LEGITIMATE because the people felt the effects of it on the ground, they feel safe they feel free from fear of being killed and fear of being raped and stab to death on the streets among others. It may not sound pragmatic on resolving the issue, but overall Duterte's War on Drugs helped the Philippines from being a Narco-State. You may watch on TH-cam how people live in narco-states now ---We don't want that.
Well said!

I just watched a few documentaries about the Sinaloa and other drug cartels in Mexico. There, the cartels became more powerful than the police, because previous governments did nothing against the illegal drug menace. Civilians, policemen and journalists who offended the cartels are killed everyday. President Duterte's war on drugs has stopped, or at least delayed the Philippines from becoming another narco state like Mexico. That is a fact every ordinary Filipino knows and appreciate.
Colombia and Mexico themselves admit a war on drugs is a losing war. It is a persecution of the poor and the marginalized. The war on drugs' only achievement is to limit the supply of drugs and to jack up the price for someone's benefit
it only lessened the chances of marginalized people/people who lived in poverty to resort to drugs-but let the rich who had access to privilege roam free.
oh please at least sa mexico nahhule yung mga drug cartels dito sa pilipinas mga small time lang nahuhule pero ung mga big time players hinde.
the sad part is only the poor people died while the rich remained free. not all the victims of this war are involved in drugs btw. a lot of innocent people died cuz they were either framed up or a mistaken identity. the police got too comfortable killing civillians cuz the state always defended them. it's hard to trust the police these days knowing that they took too many iinocent lives and took advantage of their position.
So Duterte is like Thanos? he just wanted to delay the inevitable
It's somewhat biased, but it's 9/10, a good documentary. My main problem with this kind of documentary is it always focuses on the victims of the drug war, not the victims of drug users. Living in the Ghetto, I can assure you, these drug addicts are a real menace. They steal from hardworking people. They rob, assault, and even kill just to fund their addiction. Sometimes, high on their drugs, they would harass nearby residents. There was a student in the area I live in where addicts shot a him with an improvised gun using a steel pipe. You can't leave your house at night without the risk of getting mugged and murdered. Of course, criminals can pretend to be a victim after they died or got caught, why would they care about their prey? Have you ever cared for the food you just ate? For the plant and animal you just ate? It's similar, but not exactly the same, but for addicts, it might as well be. Although, The police themselves are also quite the menace, while not to the same extent as drug addicts, they're still a menace. Serve and protect? If serving someone means treating you like an insect, then sure maybe. I support the President's methods, however his execution of his methods were poor. Only poverty-stricken addicts die, while the rich drug lords survive. Why? Because they have connections to the police. Some of the high ranking police officers are even drug lords. In Davao City's city jail, the city where the president and his family lived for a few decades, you can still find addicts in the Ghetto area. Even in the City Jail, a drug courier can get caught in the act and still leave the premises without any scratches. That's how terrible his execution was. I even know some people who are 100% drug addicts themselves but were never caught or slain by the police. There was only one guy that got arrested. And it was back in his first year in the office 2016-2017. In the end, his drug war is just as terribly executed as his Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach project. It's only purpose is to plug the holes of a leaking dam, and not fixing the root cause of the leak.
Did you report that person whom you are 100% sure is a drug addict?
Agree with you bro. They just want to push their narrative that the drug war was bad. It was bad for the drug users, but mostly positive for the good people. I myself was a victim of a robbery held at gunpoint and I saw that the robber's eyes were flush red. No choice but to give my cellphone and wallet. That's why I am supportive of the drug war.

Remember these officers protect us and our families , they put their life in danger every day because they go against the worst scum society has to offer.
What's happening in the Philippines is a case of the police and the people getting tired of the ineffectiveness of the laws , which like in the US criminals get caught one day only to be let go a couple of days later , then committing the same crimes all over again. Some times criminals are exterminated extra judicially , this may not be pretty , but it's effective.
@@alfredosenalle9284 Though it may have good results on the decreasing amount of drugs present in the Philippines, the number of innocent victims killed hasn't been fully justified by law. Not saying what Duterte did was wrong, I, in fact, admired Duterte's goal of eradicating drugs from the Philippines, only that it can be done and improved with less bloodshed and with more diplomacy being involved so that these cases of unlawful killings can also be put to light and no one (even the officers) has to risk their lives anymore. Though I'm a bit disturbed that Duterte compared himself to Hitler and seemed happy and proud about it...
@@shroomie3086 Year after year it's been tried and always failed. The only way to combat drugs and crime is the violent way.

Respect for the Philippines. One can stay a failed country in some outsiders' granted eyes or you take drastic actions to reverse your destiny.
The so called war on drugs cannot be won, even with the draconian way by Duterte. Actually calling it a war is already the path to a wrong mindset, as this isn´t about winning.
It was shown time and again that a system with rights and an emphasis on prevention and accountability works best to reduce the damage of drugs from society in a meaningful and lasting way. Allowing consenting adults a recreational use in form of decriminalization (and sending them to education/rehab centers instead of prison/killing them ) has proven very effective like in Portugal.
Also I´d bet my left kidney that a lot of those police officers and officials shown here are corrupt, threatening innocent civilians and some are heavy drug users themselves. With no oversight and accountability they will do more damage to society than drugs alone would over the years.

Kasi napapansin ng asawa ko kahit saan sya pumunta kapag tinatanong kong taga saan sya, sabi ng asawa ko taga Davao. Sasabihin kaagad nila na hanga sila kay Mayor Duterte. So ngkatotoo na nga noong naging President si Mayor Duterte yong classmate ng wife ko nagsurrender na kasi takot na sya, eh mula high school pa nya ginagawa until edad 38 yrs old papayag ba ang group niya? hindi diba? so pinatay sya ng mga kasamahan nya nkaligtas sya at nahispital pero sa hospital sya tinudas. Kaya ang kasamaan hindi yan maghahari kaya dapat mga Pilipino taasan ang pangarap para hindi maghihirap at huwag pasukin ang masamang gawain huwag maging tamad.

Most of the government officials are involved in drug trafficking like the former DILG Delima….When President Duterte became President, everything have changed and the Country becoming better and better until now, that’s why the Filipino people love him so much and we are so proud of him.

I am living in a drug infested city in Metro Manila "Caloocan" it has been that way since I was a kid 90's. All of my relatives including my wife and kid has been a victim of robbery and hold-up. Ever since Duterte became the president our streets are now safe you can walk anytime of the day doesn't matter if you are a girl. I am so happy that I am now seeing a lot of women jogging on our streets 4AM in the morning not worrying about anything. Criminals are so afraid they know they will just end up in jail or hell. I remember when Duterte is delivering his promises that the measurement if a city is safe is that a woman should be able to walk on the streets at 2am without being bothered by anyone! He delivered it with flying colors!! The first 3 years of his term is so brutal really a lot of dead bodies my friends call it "Cleansing" now we are getting the benefits of it. These past 2 years there are no more deaths like before probably all of the criminals are dead. Thank you President!! Philippines is now a really safe country!!
I lived in Caloocan too and I left the Philippines last friday and work overseas. All I can say is that this statement is true. Caloocan is different now after a lot of drug users and sellers were eliminated.
i agree caloocan is a lot different now than before.
I don't like Duterte's approach its like that of a child's. Its so black and white. Its just going to force more people to use more drugs in the future because those drug pushers and sellers had friends and family that miss them. Duterte did not consider that there were better alternatives out there like drug clinics and dealing with poverty. Now he is setting on a time bomb once he leaves office usage will go back up again because now people will turn to drugs to deal with the problems he created.
That’s ignorance, you cannot kill off a drug or it’s users you can only push them more underground. Addicts will stay addicts unless they receive and take help. Killing a few hundred thousand people won’t do any good for society. It will only create more violence - look at the PH jails - overloaded - making small time drug users to real criminals - jails are not there to reincarnate - they are just there to put it out of sight out of mind. Filipinos forget how broken the legal system and government is. It’s time for Filipinos to stand up and take their future into their own hands. Clean this country of corruption and families who rule and run the country.
In my opinion here is that Pres.Duterte was the perfect example on the book named The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli where he prefered to be feared than loved,but the Filipinos loved him because he cared for his country despite being criticized by others especially the American government.And the Filipinos feared him for his discipline and superiority over the criminals...which is good because if you don't strike fear to the heart of the criminals they will just throw sh*t right in your face.😁
Akala mo lang. Basahin mo rin yung The Discourses tapos husgahan mo if Machiavelli would approve of Duterte.

An important point to consider is that the accusations against Duterte have not been proven in a legal setting, as no official charges have been brought against him. Additionally, it is significant to acknowledge that the individuals accusing Duterte in congress has a criminal history, which raises doubts about the credibility of their claims. Unfortunately, many people are quick to believe these unsubstantiated accusations.
This documentary is so good in quality (i think) that it makes me feel wrong for watching it for free. Thank you PBS for providing this content. I understand that in tackling such a big chronical social issue, the government needs to use a strong measure against the drug user and drug pusher. But It also has a duty to dicipline their law enforcement officers so that they don't use excessive violences toward the people. But still, I hope the campaign to be success and Phillipines people can be free from drug addiction and violence in the future.
You know they're showing this to western audiences because we HATE WHAT THE GOVERNMENT is doing, right?
@@chris.hartliss Well i did'nt know that, haha and i don't care. But It is reasonable for people to hate what the government doing as the PBS portrayed in this documentary. I am neither a Westerner nor Phillipines and my feeling toward this is neutral because I don't know how the real situation inside Phillipine is, yet i don't want to be mislead by the media narration either. So i am just trying to positive thinking here. Btw, I am watching this because it has good cynematography and the story is captivating anyway.
@@SuperHutomo I think we can all respect that. It is a shame to see so many ruthless killings though. Still, it is always best to look at a situation from a neutral position. Not sure where you are from but blessings from the West Coast of the U.S.✊🏼
I think many parts of the film are scripted!
@@SuperHutomo as a guy that came from the exact place shown in this documentary living here isn't always bad. there's alot of noise it's densely populated but mostly it's livable. If you're very clean you're less likely to get into violence. thief or robbery isn't rare here in a span of decade we've experienced one attempted robbery on our vehicle (luckily got caught by our neighbors) and 2 from my auntie's house here.
there are situation here where if someone needed a serious help people would start helping them such as one of the situation i've experience is nearby house got caught in fire and my neighbors started bringing their own bucket of water to extinguish it. it was put out before the fire fighters arrived.
Is the media bias on showing the problems here on caloocan? no.
I've experienced here in school that some of the students got caught taking an illegal drug at the back. one of my classmate almost got killed outside back then fraternities, gangs, etc are common here. gang looking outfit are very common here in fact probably main outfit style of teens here. common things you'll see here is people just living their own life (going to work and back home), transportation, teens walking around, bystanders, kids playing outside and the extremely common bikers (motorbikes and bicycles)
Also, note that this documentary covers mainly Caloocan. Situation are for sure different in other cities. Some places worse, some not that bad. I can say that in my city it's so much better than the situation in Manila.
Well the situation in manila is far better than before because of drug war, and curfew
My wife lives in Manila it is almost the same as Caloocan both of the Cities are the worst in terms of crime and now they are safe!
I have lived in South Caloocan for 12 years then I'm living now in North Caloocan for 5 years. Both have a lot of drug addicts but I say it's the worst here in the North. It's like little Tondo. In all honesty I felt safer when I walked in the south as a growing teen but here in the north, I didn't even wanna go outside beyond 6 in the evening. Every corner has addicts smoking, drinking alcohol and exchanging drugs. You'd fear to tell the police because they will come for you when they get released. Funny how fast they can be released tho.
As an American who’s family is from the Philippines, what is the situation in Baguio and the Davao Del Sur region?
I live in manila and i know theres a lot of drug user here, but to be honest i never felt any danger here even when im walking late at night. Maybe because i know im not involved in drugs or any crime syndicate, but whenever i watch the news they always say theres always a lot of drug user getting killed here. To say that its no longer safe to walk on the streets because of this war on drugs campaign is TRUE if your involved in drugs. But you can live peacefully as long you don't get involved in drugs.

We also have very strict rule for drugs but not as strict, u could be in jail for 7 years or even more just for the possession of Amfethamine although u're just a user with not that much amount of it.
Indonesian cops and their anti-drugs task force are highly corrupt. They ask for Rp25 to 50 million for bail if you're "an ordinary drug user", but if you're a celebrity the cops would parade you to the media to show the public that they're doing their job.

Living in this country was hell years ago before Duterte and since he has been President things have got a hell of a lot better. There were snatchers, open crimes and drugs that ran rampant. you could not walk down the street without some incidents happening. The President cleaned up his own home town when he was governor there with zero tolerance and that is what he bought to the drug dealers when President.
No country has any right to interfere in another countries problems or war on drugs and America should butt out as it's own drug problems are the highest in the world. How many drug lords and dealers have America killed? Three thousand major criminals were killed but how many lives did they destroy with their poison.
This does not portray a correct rendition of the facts and it also does not say or show how many criminals gave themselves up which was tens of thousands and not killed.
If a criminal shoots at you while trying to apprehend them they chose what happens next. He cleaned up the crooked police and politicians and many other forms of corruption in the Philippines and now you can feel a lot safer than before.
Unless you have seen this for yourself then do not judge another countries way of dealing with the problems drugs bring to the people. To a lot of people he is a hero and he did things that other previous presidents did nothing about so don't judge if you can not fix the problems in your own country.
Is it good to murder a taxi driver for using drugs in the past? Is it good to kill him in public on the street in the presence of his son? Violence creates violence.
LIES!!!! I received 3 death threats from the president’s loyal dogs by giving my opinion on the booming number of extrajudicial killings.
According to Bensouda’s report, there was a reason to believe that state actors have killed thousands of civilians under the drug war and that vigilante-style killings were perpetrated by police officers themselves or other private individuals hired by authorities - leading to a death toll of between 12,000 to 30,000 civilians.
This was based on claims that extrajudicial killings (EJKs) have been rampant in the country.

war on drugs fail 100% of the time. it will always fail
@@dommerjasonranze sir... sa tingon nyo ha.. may maganda ba o positive result yung war on drugs ng gobyerno natin?
War on drugs? Actually it is 90-10. 90% effective siya.. kasi dito sa lugar namin, yung kaibigan ko na drug lord nasa loob na.. yung 4 na pusher dito, yung isa nasa loob, ang 3 nakalabas na at tapos na rin sa rehab. Mapayapa na ang lugar namin. Yung mga adik lahat na rehab na rin, may mga trabaho na.
10% - kasi may konting mga eskalawag pa na natitira sa.. konti nalang.. pabayaan niyo mga vigilante trumabaho sa kanila..
The only person who is happy in this film was the undertaker.

Even the undertaker is not happy. According to interviews, very few people claim the bodies, so whos paying for them?

For my family, drug war made our family strong. My uncle was addicted to drugs and because of that, my other uncles started abandoning him cause he never change no matter how much they help him. It also caused a lot of problems in our family causing for some of us to start ignoring each other and losing respect at each other. The worst thing of it is he has 4 children and most of them are girl. His wife sometimes needs to chase him cause he always finds a way to escape and do that thing. His children were separated. The first daughter was living with my other uncle. We thought her life would be better there but she suffered from the daughters of my uncle. The first son was living with my another uncle. Goodthing my uncle and his wife are kind and also their son so the first son did have a great life there. The remaining 2 are with their mother. Their life was truly in mess. But because of drug war, my uncle change a lot. He started helping his own family and his relationship with his siblings also did get better. He found a job and finally got a chance to be close with his children again. He is now doing well and great
Made your family strong but made other families even weaker and broke apart. That's so selfish take on the War on drugs
@@gerardanderson9665 nasisira talaga pamilya sa droga...pumasok ka sa sindikato hindi ka na makaka alis..it's either patayin ka ng kapwa mo sindikato o pulis....we have free will, hindi mo nga lang mapipili consequences sa mga pinili mong desisyon
Good thing some dictator didn't kill him before he got his life together.
There is always hope
@@gerardanderson9665 He's a filippino, brain doesn't work properly enough to see another perspective.
@@gerardanderson9665 families of drug addicts are already broken and apart even before Duterte. You will never understand how terrible drug is in our country because you are not a filipino. You can never understand our predicament and why we are supporting Duterte.
Living in a rural area, war on drugs is one of the best things that happened in this country.
So true.
think like one of the poor people, do you think it is still the best thing?
More than a hundred children died because they are mistaken identity or "collateral damage". Truly one of the best things.
@@kent3994 despite that, it was a success.
@@joj4096 The extrajudicial killings didn't slow down the demand, and these killings only belonged to the lower class. Drug lords still walk free and drug supply are still rampant as of today. It was never a success.
