ICC's VERDICT
Make a new Documentary about The president's orders' CONSEQUENCES
I’m no Duterte fan not at all but some scenes appear too staged for my taste.
The young people portrayed, were like wanna be Robin Padillas.
The dramatic background music is too American imitated.
Reportage is not entertainment so there is no need for enhancements.
The country is asking questions about thos now 😢
Rodrigo Come back! We need you to clean up the U.S.
Shabu is satan…
Philippines is a disgrace for humanity.
In office
June 30, 2016 – June 30, 2022
Philippine Drug War
Date July 1, 2016 – present Status Ongoing[1]
Thanks to You President Duterte!!! If it were not for your Drug War, we would have been at the drug war front ourselves, against the drug pushers, and much more would have died, including us, the elders. Thank God, the moment you won the presidency, the pushers in our community were rounded up and put to prison, and my young relative and his friends were sent to the general mental institution, whose population is 98% due to substance induced psychosis. Its free yes, but i had to stay inside the cell with him, because someone must be in control of him. Luckily we stayed just a week, but the maintenance medicine is for life 😢
This could be America. Keep letting these mfr's infiltrate every occupied space and this Will Be YOU.

DUTERTE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT SECOND TO MARCOS OF THE FILIPINOS
I HATE DRUGS
Nothing says terrifying government when your cops have to wear Skull Masks.
Way to go, Papa Digz!
This video is accusing a goverment and not show the real intention of the government . Duterte is doing only his job and order police . But not all drug killing inseden t is cause by police most of this happens becuase of some drug sendicates order to kill that person in order it eill charge to the police because in was in thier list .
Farcry 6 trailer
Marcos regime killed 3,200 people during the 1970s to 1980s martial law, we thought it was the worst. Duterte Regime counts 30,000 EJK and some policemen were already convicted of such criminal charges. Ergo, it's real and Duterte incentivized the gruesome war. God help the Philippines
Why is it, while being a proven fact, that violence creates more violence, and repression seldom is the solution to anything, that people believe Duterte is doing the "right" thing? Left aside what "right" even means.
Wow..eto lng masasabi ko fuccck u anti duterte mga gago
Criminal and druglords left the group😂we will support Pres Duterte all the way!
i'm from the Southernmost part of the Philippines.
my cousin got executed and we're all thankful for it.
he was a drug addict, a pusher, thief and raped 4 girls.
we couldn't kill him ourselves…coz Jesus.
but our government did and so we're very grateful.
this film made me realize that i don't like Frontline.
never seen a more biased and scripted film in my life.
Dito palang sa comment section makikita mong madami talagang dayuhan ang bilib sa ating PRESIDENTE
As MKULTRA would have, deprivatize banking to locate all embezzlement and charge those that have poor motives as intention is everything to criminality.
This Movie Should call
"DRUGS"
Because why are you potraying him as a Bad Guy?
Go Duterte, Kill all those evil drug addicts!, Round them all up, and get rid of them 👊😀🇵ðŸ‡
We Love you!!!
I stand by my president Duterte! Philippines has been known for corruption and bribery for so many years and part of it is illegal drugs. The people behind it wants to stay in power but unfortunately, there's this one brave man who fought these people and wants to end these problems of our country and that is President Rodrigo Duterte!!! You can brainwash the minds of the foreigners but not the Filipino people, who lived in this country and experienced the real situation of the Philippines!!!!!
Thumbs down 10000% not true at all
Should be titled " A How To"
Most of the so-called victims in this film. If they are really poor, how they get money to buy drugs? They have extra money to buy drugs at least. Poor, poor, poor, what an endless excuse? If you are guys are poor, then get a life and work for a better life. Or get addicted is your option to forget how poor you are? You guys are real pests actually. Respect the society and build it a better place for your future generations Motherfuckers!
Try to do that here in Mexico and the cartels will behead the president's head and his families. I wish US and Europe helped Mexico with their armies and strategies, but US sell us the guns and they buy the dope. It is a really big bussiness and millions of dollars are involved. We need really strong measures and punishment for those who buy and sell the drugs.
We all know the Yellow liberals has the back of narco politicians and druglords that's why they killed the users and pusher to discredit the government and worst of all they portrait the philippines as worst country for human rights but the truth is the humans they talking about are the rapist, notorious robbers and drug addicts
To be a poor is not a reason to sell illegal drugs .. there are a lot of good things to do to survive … Some say I have no job I have 3kids to sustain them that's why I'm involved.. but the truth is that is only an alibi..
Man will live without drugs..
But for someone..drugs are easy money … It's like a woman who sell her body for lust to make easy money…
Drug offenders are always using alibis to cover the truth.. IAM Filipino I know what happened to my country.. drug dealers and addicts and their protectors hates the president..
But for many of us we love our president because he is the only one who change the country and discipline the people again…
Drugs makes man a robber a killer a corrupt and a madman.. I love my country that's why I want change …
Short term happiness > long term happiness, drugs may make you happy for a short time but they ruin you and those around you and in the long term will just stop working until you get stronger and stronger drugs, nothing can get these people off of them, death is natural
I just love you PBS
Look, I don't support the war on drugs in America because it's an infringement on personal rights and a waste of money. But as far as from a tactical aspect, one has to become a monster in order to fight monsters. Nothing else has been so time proven.
I am very skeptical of this film. The police are made to look like comical villains or evil at times. With camera crews so close with the police it seems clear they are exaggerating their bravado. I take issue with the fact that no identities were hidden of the supposed gang members. Some claims were made that seemed to need evidentiary rather than anecdotal support. It almost sensationalizes rather than educates about the situation.
I don't like the President's ways, I am terrified of the way he makes friends with China, and I'm an open supporter to the VP. But then, when I watched the full 1 hour of this documentary, I can't help but sense the bias in it. Several of the important translations were not accurate. This will just make different nationalities around the world to have exaggerated ideas, not to mention opinions, of things about my country. I am a patriot who loves my country and supports the good guys, but for me documentaries like this should just be exact and accurate only. Indeed the world has the right to know the truth. But truths should be nothing more, or nothing less. Can somebody authorized and honest enough, do some revising, the translations of this docu? Please, we are the good guys here.
Why does the US justice system allow criminals to have careers ???……EXECUTE ALL VIOLENT CRIMINALS & EXECUTE ALL CAREER CRIMINALS ….
i just watched this documentary. It is bias and does not show the clear picture of drug problem in the philippines. It didn’t present why President Duterte has to go for extreme actions. Philippines is becoming a Narco state destroying the society and hinders economic progress. We know our president speak hyperbole and we understand his frustrations. That’s why he enjoys more than 80% approval rating. He’s the leader that we’ve been waiting for to help Filipino life be more safe and comfortable. PBS please stop spreading lie and this negative propaganda against our President.
When's the full release?
Another Biased Yellow Themed Film. We Love Our President.
Please legalise marijuana cannabese as it will help drug addicted people in leaving drugs. Fear is a good thing to make people disciplined but without offering other alternatives and options with a little bit of reward it will take a heavy toll on targeted people. 😒
Great trailer. Makes me want to see this. I’ve been interested in what is going on with this “War on Drug Deskers and Users†in the Philippines since I first heard of it.
Wow
