Noli De Castro once said:
Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, or Tatay Digong, did not start the war on drugs to kill people—he started it to save lives. He gave drug users a chance to change, to surrender, and to choose a better path. But many refused. They kept using, selling, and hurting innocent people. So, what should a leader do? Allow criminals to destroy families, or take action to stop them?
Losing one addict is sad, but saving thousands of innocent lives is justice. Under Duterte, the streets became safer. Women could walk at night without fear, and families could sleep peacefully.
And for those who say innocent people were killed—Duterte did not ignore that. He punished police officers who made mistakes, removed them from service, and even sent them to jail. He fought criminals, but he did not protect those who abused their power.
Now, look at the country today. Duterte is gone, and the drug problem is returning. Crime is rising again. So ask yourself: was he really the problem, or was he the only one brave enough to solve it?
Ka klaru ana,. 👊 🇵🇭 🦅
