After watching the documentary film, answer the questions below:

1. What is the theme of the film? Discuss.

On the President's Orders is a thriller-style film based on extraordinary access to police officers,
as well as President Duterte's own words and speeches, as well as time spent with victims, exposing
a dark world where crime, drugs, poverty, and politics collide. In 2016, Philippine President Rodrigo
Duterte declared a "war on drugs," unleashing a wave of violence and murders against thousands of
alleged drug traffickers and consumers. "On the President's Orders" is a startling and revelatory
examination of the ongoing extrajudicial killings, with unprecedented, intimate access to both police
personnel. Complicit in the killings and families shattered as a result of Duterte's violent campaign.
Entering a dark world of crime, narcotics, and politics.
We don't see much of Duterte in the PBS documentary "On the President's Orders," but we do
hear his remarks throughout. In 2016, he made a speech in which he seemed eager to compare himself
to Adolf Hitler. In the film, Duterte launched his anti-drug campaign the same year, during which police
killed at least 3,000 people and masked gunmen executed thousands more. After what appears to be
an endless cycle of killings, public opinion on the president's drug war begins to shift, and Duterte takes
steps to reduce the brutality. This is where James Jones and Olivier Sarbil's film truly begins.

2. What are the effects of drugs to family relationship? To the country?

The impacts of drug addiction on the family are varied. Relationship conflict, financial challenges,
and an increased risk of abuse are just the beginning. Early exposure to a home divided by drug usage
can make a child feel neglected and vulnerable, both emotionally and physically. They may become
more psychologically and emotionally disturbed as a result. Because every family is distinct, not all
families experience the same consequences to the same degree. Furthermore, drug-abusing
employees' tardiness, decreased productivity, and greater usage of medical and insurance benefits
have a financial impact on a company. Drug misuse has a significant economic impact on national,
 regional, and municipal government resources as well as the taxpayer. As you can see, drugs have a
wide spectrum of effects, but one thing is for certain: they all have negative effects.

3. Do you think the drug war campaign of President Duterte enough to solve the most pressing
problem of drug addiction in the Philippines?
From my perspective, President Duterte's drug war strategy is effective but insufficient in
combating the Philippines' most serious problem: drug addiction. The Philippines' drug campaign, led
by President Rodrigo Duterte, is both ethically and legally unjust. It amounts to murder since it results
in serious and widespread abuses of human rights. Thousands of accused drug dealers and users
have been killed extrajudicially around the country as a result of the war on drugs. I believe there are
other possibilities for tackling our country's drug war problem that exist. Rather than destroying lives,
there will always be an alternative.

4. What is your insight about the movie in relation to Drug Education? What is your realization
on Drug addiction?
Drug prevention measures are more than effective when implemented before people form
potentially harmful drug beliefs. Considering drug education can start as early as elementary school,
such sessions can teach children the truth about drugs before they hear misconceptions and
falsehoods about drugs from others. Drugs can affect not only a student's cognitive growth but also
their academic performance: their capacity to memorize information, classroom attentiveness,
assignment priority, chance of attending class, and even their overall IQ. After understanding it, I
realized that we should not even try or attempt to take drugs in order to avoid becoming addicted to
those substances. As a result, we must keep a safe distance from situations or people that may lure
us into using illegal drugs. One thing is for certain: they all have negative effects.
