Pres Duterte's Campaign Against Illegal Drugs

I never doubted Pres. Duterte's campaign against illegal drugs. What is happening now in our country may not sink in yet to the commoner or to the richest people involved, but this is the messy start that the president promised to clean our country.

I remember our previous house helper who lives in the next Barangay that is known of drug pushers and users. Her husband is a trisikad driver, renting a trisikad on a daily basis from their neighbor but he was not even consistently driving everyday to earn a living. So she has to work harder to feed her family. I gave her 700pesos a week or 117 pesos a day. Her husband bought a 100pesos worth of shabu without a qualm to satisfy himself while she was working hard earning 117 a day, taking care of my child while her own daughter was taken cared of by her husband's family just to earn to feed her own family. And that was one of the reasons why they fight almost everyday to the point of almost breaking up their relationship because she was tired already.

I also know of someone, a father of so many children, 9 or 10 siblings I think, whose job is selling fishes and also a trisikad driver. I learned that he uses shabu even in front of his young children. In fact, it was one of his children who unveiled that with dismay.

So why do these people buy shabu despite of their very difficult situation? The small amount of money they spent for shabu could have helped their family's needs especially for their children. So why do

these personalities or some government officials are strongly opposing Duterte's campaign against illegal drugs? Come to think of it, if we don't clean our country now, how many more trisikad drivers, or destitute people, or even wealthy people, will destroy their families and the future of their children?

These are just minor situations, a sad reality that I have known that is happening everywhere in our country. I, along with other millions of people who supported our dear president, hope that this atmosphere of menace will end so soon and then we will all live in a crime-free and peaceful country.

Philippine Election 2016 - Duterte our only Hope for a New Philippines

May 9, 2016, will mark a new beginning for the Filipinos because I strongly believe that my bet for president has claimed victory before the election day. This is because millions of Filipinos are showing their undying support to Rodrigo Duterte, the only presidential candidate whom we, Filipinos, thought is the only answer to the humongous problems that our country is facing now.

Many politicians are showing decency, prim and proper, but behind their backs lie the murky behavior of a greedy and inhumane leader. Politicians who are not just hungry of power but most especially for money.

Ninoy Aquino - The Filipinos are worth dying for! - from a man who once sacrificed his life for the Filipinos who suffered from dictatorship under the Marcos regime. What happened to this remarkable line from a brave man who's son is the current president of the Philippines - Noynoy Aquino? How come he did not value what his father has done to us? Why did he allow himself to be influenced by evil people surrounding him despite the impressions that his parents have left when they were alive.

I was not able to vote for the presidential election 6 years ago because I transferred residency but my heart strongly supported Noynoy Aquino's candidacy. I was very happy he won hoping he will uplift the lives of all Filipinos and bring corruption to an end. PNoy may have done something good for our country during his term but he has done a lot more of an unsatisfactory initiative that made most of his countrymen hate him.

What recently is happening to our country in relation to the coming national election? Where the administration has done desperate moves just to make sure their bet, Mar Roxas, will win. But obviously, Filipinos want change, new strong and honest governance. And our only hope is the humble, honest, kind-hearted but strong man, Rodrigo Duterte.

 He may not be perfect, and so we are, but together hand in hand, let us be united, and bring change to this very corrupt country. Support Duterte, support what the Filipinos want for this country!



For what is the reason if you conquer the Philippines, the whole world, but your soul is already mired in hell? Think think think - Mar Roxas, Jejomar Binay, Grace Poe...
