Davao City was once plagued by gangs and extremist armed forces. However, under Duterte's iron-fisted governance, public security has improved significantly and it has become a Philippine city known for its safety.
According to British media reports, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte (Rodrigo Duterte), who is known for his tough approach to fighting crime, launched a vigorous anti-drug policy after taking office. In less than a month, there were already dozens of drug criminals. Shot dead by police.
html On July 9, nearly 4,000 drug dealers and drug users even collectively surrendered to the Philippine government, which was the largest number of surrenders in a single day since Duterte took office. Since Duterte took office on June 30, nearly 60,000 drug addicts and drug dealers have rushed to surrender at the police station. In addition to vowing to severely punish drug dealers, Duterte said that journalists who accept bribes and are involved in corruption should also die.
Duterte has made many shocking remarks before, including restarting the death penalty and imposing "double hangings." "After the first hanging, there is a 'second' ceremony until the head and body are completely separated." These ideas have been repeatedly criticized by opponents.
Although Duterte made excessive remarks, he vowed to fight corruption and crack down on violent crime. He won an overwhelming victory in the May election and began a six-year term.
The picture shows that in a police station in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, drug addicts or drug dealers who surrendered to the police were handcuffed and slept on the floor together.
Rodrigo Duterte held a press conference after taking office, announcing heavy rewards for killing law enforcement officers who stubbornly resisted drug lords. The reward will be paid from Duterte's remaining campaign funds, and the reward for arresting or killing a drug lord is 3 million pesos (approximately US$64,000). According to him, law enforcement officers will receive a bonus of 3 million pesos for every drug lord they turn in, regardless of whether they are dead or alive. If the drug-related personnel are at a lower level, the bonus amount will be correspondingly smaller.

Duterte said his remaining campaign funds were enough to pay for "100 (drug lord) lives." Anti-narcotics officers who secretly engage in drug trade and detainees who continue to sell drugs in prison are both within the scope of the crackdown. As long as they resist, they will be killed directly.
Duterte has publicly stated that people with guns can shoot drug dealers who refuse to be taken to the police station. If drug dealers threaten people with knives and guns, they can also be shot.
html On June 30, Duterte was sworn in as president. Six days after taking office, the Philippine police announced the killing of 30 drug dealers and the seizure of approximately US$20 million in drugs. In addition, thousands of drug-related persons have surrendered. Last week, a corpse was discovered on the streets of Manila. The face of the deceased was bound with multiple layers of packaging tape, and a cardboard was placed on his upper body with the words "I am a drug dealer" written on it. The officer removed the packaging tape from the face of the deceased, who may have been a drug dealer or addict.
As more people die on the streets of Manila, human rights groups worry that people will use the president's comments to kill people they don't like and then accuse them of being drug dealers.
Jose Manuel Diokno, one of the Philippines' top human rights lawyers, warned that the president's actions will lead to a wider range of violent crimes and make the situation out of control without any law.
Since the bloody crackdown on drugs began, more and more corpses have appeared on the streets of Manila.
The government's top lawyer has publicly advocated for police to kill more drug suspects, strongly supporting President Rodrigo Duterte's policies.
The picture shows the collective oath taken by drug addicts and drug dealers after surrendering, promising to work hard to get rid of drug addiction.
Opposition lawmakers are asking Congress to investigate the current practice of police officers killing drug suspects indiscriminately. In response, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered Philippine police officers to undergo drug testing and submit urine samples to demonstrate their innocence and determination not to fear congressional investigations.
