    A Position Paper on War against DrugsBy: Janrey RizadaIntroduction

    Drug is the best thing that will ruin your life. It is the hardest trouble of our government
    and the worst problem of our country. “Say No
    to
    Drugs”, avoid drugs because it can destroy
    your own life and can be destroy the life of others and also the community where you belong.We
    can prevent the drug abuse in this country if we cooperate in our President Dutertecampaign stop
    the drug dealers in the Philippines. The Oplan Tokhang that gives the drug usersa second chance
    to have a better life and start a new life. War on drugs campaign by Duterte
    ’s
    Administration
    is a good plan and an active campaign by the president. It is a better way toresolve
    the drug addiction and the crimes that are involved in using illegal drugs. This papershows the
    pros and cons of the issue on war against drugs. I am agree of the campaign ofDuterte on war
    against drugs because it is the only way to resolved the drug addiction and tostop producing
    illegal drugs, as a whole, we observed that in previous administration, thegovernment has no
    effective solution to this problem. Now, its
    Duterte’s administration that
    slowly resolved the illegal drugs and will continue unt
    il the last day of Duterte’s will.

    Counter Arguments
    When the war on drugs had been started, the Extra-Judicial Killings often referred to on
    the archipelago by its acronym “EJK”. A poll released on April 20, 2017 by Social Weather
    Station found that 73 percent of respondents are worried that they or someone they know couldbe
    fall on the on the victim to an Extra-Judicial Killings.It is not a valid evidence that the war on drugs
    have a bad sabotage to manage to kill theunwanted or petty crimes and als
    o no bad record persons. The country’s top broadcaster, ABSCBN, reported in early August 2016
    that 603 people had been killed since Duterte’s May
    election. Over 4,000 were arrested while over half a million drug users turned themselves
    intoauthorities.

    The war on drugs of Duterte’s Administration was committing a Human Rights


    violation.
    Just because on the issue on Extra-Judicial Killings that the Police and PDEA are committing
    crimes and violating the Human Rights due to obeying the President’s order
    to kill the drugrelated persons.It does mean that
    wars on drugs of Duterte’s Administration are
    bad. It really needs a
    “walk your talk” ordered by Duterte to accomplish the mission to kill the drug addicts who wants
    to fight the Police during Oplan Tokhang. It does not commit Human Rights violation becausethe
    police are properly have a warrant of arrest and told carefully the drug addicts to surrender.
    Arguments
    Helps create a place that is drug free. A drug free area or community may seemimpossible given
    the present situation, but it is achievable as long as everyone does their sharein the fight against
    drugs. War on drugs should not only involve the government and localauthorities, but also friends
    and family of drug users or sellers.Lessen drug-related crimes, when drug addicts will not have
    access to illegalsubstances, they will not experience highs or hallucinations that will drive them to
    commitcrimes. They would not need to steal either so they can buy drugs. Put simply, without
    thepushers there will be little no users.
    Despite international criticism of the Philippines’ deadly anti
    -drug war, the majority of
    Filipinos continue to support president Duterte’s campaign that killed thousands of mostly poor
    drug suspects. The SWS survey, involving 1,200 adult respondents across the country, found in
    March that 78% were satisfied with the administration’s performance in its campaign against
    illegal drugs, with 43% are very satisfied and 35% are somewhat satisfied, 10 % wereundecided,
    while only 12% were dissatisfied.
    Conclusion
    Although there so many against of the Duterte’s campaign on war on drugs, the
    majority
    of Filipinos is still strong to support the campaign because it has a big changes to the country.
    Itlessens the drug related crimes. The big real evidence is that there are thousands ofsurrenderies
    of drug addicts due because of the campaign of Duterte. Making a country and

    every barangay and community are drug free. Government should improve the forces of
    Policeduring Oplan Tokhang to easily resolve the drug addiction and help the surrenderies to
    startanew again. Duterte should maintain this campaign on war on drugs to totally eliminate
    theillegal drugs.
