    Violence Attack: Bloody War on Drugs

    The Philippine government’s “drug war” killings intensified during


    the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, as did unnecessary arrests during
    lockdowns, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2021.

    “Drug war” killings in the Philippines in 2020 increased by more


    than 50 percent during the early months of the pandemic. The police
    reported in November that since Rodrigo Duterte became president,
    nearly 8,000 alleged drug suspects had been killed during police
    operations. 

    According to RA No. 9165 also known as “Comprehensive


    Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002". It is a state policy to safeguard the
    integrity of its territory and the well-being of its citizenry particularly
    the youth, from the harmful effects of dangerous drugs.

    Let us provide effective mechanisms to re-integrate into society


    the individuals who have fallen victims to drug abuse through
    sustainable programs of treatment and rehabilitation.
