The war on drugs continues to enjoy popular support in the Philippines despite condemnation from many outside the country. Recent opinion surveys show 85 percent of Filipinos approve of the violent crackdown on illegal drugs but at the same time 78 percent are fearful they, or someone they know, may become a victim of the increased violence. Despite that 89 percent of people have noted a decline in crime since the anti-drug campaign began and find that overall they are safer.

That’s about what I figured was going on, but thanks for the details. He’s a great President for his country.
Evidently the Lamestream Press prefers Obama, who loves to release drug overlords, Communists, and Muslim terrorists from jail, rather than rounding them up and putting them where they can do no further harm to people.
I wonder if there are any outstanding state crimes that would apply to these rascals?
Most of the dead were suspects who violently resisted but nearly 40 percent were the result of local vigilantes or drug gangs killing suspected informers or rivals. So far the police have suffered fewer than 122 casualties, mostly wounded but including 38 dead. The extent and intensity of these efforts caused over a million people to turn themselves in. Since 93 percent of those surrendering were users nearly [all] were released, especially if they provided information about their suppliers.
Imagine that kind of motivation here.

Thanks LD.
Turning the PI into Singapore. Sounds like a plan.
How I long for Olongapo...

In destroying muslim terrorists,
“Now the military has been ordered to ignore the presence of hostages when attacking or bombing Abu Sayyaf camps.”
(snip)
“Meanwhile a lot of locals are just quietly, often via some discreet (often anonymous) texting to the local military base (local police are less trustworthy) with useful information of Abu Sayyaf activities. This has forced Abu Sayyaf to release some hostages alive, without ransom, when the security forces get too close.”
Image what can happen with the locals are engaged with law enforcement.
“January 1, 2017: In the south (Maguindanao province) soldiers repulsed BIFF attacks on three of their bases, killing four of the attackers and wounding another four. This sort of thing has been going on in Maguindanao for several months and pro-government MILF fighters have worked with the military to shut down ISIL affiliated Islamic terrorists trying to establish themselves in the area.”
Even MILFs are getting involved. :-)
Given the stories I've heard about the PI (never been there) and what I've seen in Singapore (spent a good bit of time there) it sounds like a good plan.Of course summary executions Philippines-style is less than optimal.Arrest,being quickly brought to trial,being convicted (if guilty) and then quick execution would be better.Wasn't the guy who killed the Mayor of Chicago while trying to kill FDR executed within weeks of the incident?
The ends justify the means...like all leftists!
I was there for a while during the Marcos regime.
A few years of being Singapore sounds like a cure.
About fifteen should do it.
Great post. Sorry, but I love this:
“Maguid was eventually identified as the master bomb builder and for most of the past year security forces in the south concentrated on finding him. They came close several times but Maguid proved capable of evading detection until he wasn’t.”

Just like in America, progressives control the PI courts. If criminals are brought to trial they never receive swift justice. When the courts are thoroughly infiltrated by people who refuse to enforce the law it’s a law easier to go around them instead of purging the court system.
We’re soon going to face a similar problem with immigration cases where our courts will unlawfully not send people home and we’re going to need to support Trump ignoring these criminal judges and going around them.
I realized the war on drugs was winnable when I discovered that Chili won their war on drugs in about 6 months. They identified and shot all the producers and dealers. The remaining roaches all fled the country and didn’t come back.
The PI appears to be following the Chilean model.
LadyDoc thank you for posting this. This provided better insight into what’s going on in the PI than what I’ve been able to glean from the lying MSN.
This vigilantism wouldn’t have arisen if pro-criminal leftists hadn’t infiltrated the judiciary and law schools worldwide, rendering effective law enforcement all but impossible. If the Philippinos tried to do this the slow and legal way, the human rights lobby would get the UN and the EU to crush the Philipine economy.
