At least 80 dead after escalation in Philippines war on drugs

I truely hope, that the Philippines can eventually find peace internally, allowing its people to live within a Drug/Terrorist/Dictator free environment.

Are the persons killed all criminals ? Duterte doesn't strike me as one who would care for friendly fire...

Another "win" for the war on drugs. Kill them all God (knows his own)

The density of the criminals in the PH rivals India plus China's population.

Most of these bad elements are in cahoots with powerful politicians , police and military big wigs and the traditional rich oligarchs with private armies.

It would probably take a thousand Dutertes to clean the beautiful archipelago.

The PH must adopt a Japanese way of life marked by discipline and throw away centuries old bad Spanish and American decadent influence to succeed as a prosperous and safe nation.

or just under-report crime so that the statistics look better.
