LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines — Some P3.5 million worth of suspected shabu were confiscated during a buy-bust operation in Lapu-Lapu City underneath the first Mactan-Mandaue Bridge in Barangay Pajo this city on June 29.

Aside from the more than P3 million drug haul, police also arrested a 28-year-old man during the anti-illegal drug operation at past 3 p.m. that day.

Sana mahuli din mga nasa itaas na ranggo at matanggalan ng benepisyo. Destined to fail ang war on drugs kung meron mole sa pulisya. Palubog na Pinas talaga.

That sounds horrible. Studying for years towards a dream job only for your dreams to be shattered by a corrupt system. I hope okay siya ngayon abroad.

 

Yung war on drugs ngayon parang may masabi lang na ginagawa eh.

The concept of a war on drugs has always baffled me. How the fuck do you win against drugs?? You can't kill it. There's always someone who can learn how to make it. There's always someone fucked up enough to use it. There's always someone who will sell and pay for it.

 

Idk, drug abuse has always seemed to me like a symptom of a bigger problem in a society and not the root cause of it. If you can't address that main problem, a war on drugs will feel like cutting off a hydra's head; the problems will just keep on coming back and multiplying.

One of the major proponents of the war on drugs admit the insufficiency of the program. He cited that they failed to consider the root cause.

The root cause is poverty. If you have good job opportunities and job security, you really don't risk it by selling or taking drugs. There are people that do, but they are few and far between.

Poverty maybe has a lot to do with the cause,equally to blame is the society we are all in.The web of corruption among the law enforcement clouded the war on drugs. As we all know it targeted users; wherein it should have been the narco politians, importers,big time and small time pushers,drugs tiangge operators and backers. Cut the source and punish the big fish then reform the users.
