    The documentary discusses the immoral killings that occurred in the Philippines under President Duterte's war on drugs. Thousands were killed by masked men, sometimes police or thugs, simply for being accused of drug use or dealing without due process. While Duterte's goal was to curb drug use, the campaign was tainted by extrajudicial killings. The documentary argues that education, rather than violence and fear, could have achieved the goal in a moral way without destroying lives like the killing of a 16-year-old child.

    STEM 12 – St. Agatha
    Introduction:
    “Just because they are pushers, will kill them, No. They are humans, we have to look
    at them as humans” is the sentence that struck me most in a documentary by CBC News:
    The National “Horror of the Philippines' drug war” talks about the immoral killings of
    masked men sometimes police or thugs began killings to stop the so-called transformation
    of the Philippines into a narco-state of drug usage. The moral issue of the documentary is
    the unresolved and ludicrous killing of so-called “drug pushers or addicts” by thugs and
    policemen. The immoral ways these victims are subjected to are saddening, to be killed just
    because you are accused of a crime that you have not yet been proven guilty of is an abuse
    of power.
    These incidents happen during the drug war under the presidency of President
    Duterte, these killings started since according to him the Philippines is a den of drugs and
    drug addicts. For him to establish control and stop the flow of drugs he orders all possible
    suspects of drug pushing or selling to be killed or imprisoned. The campaign lessened the
    spread of drugs in the nation, but it was tainted by extrajudicial executions that were
    purportedly carried out by the police and unidentified assailants. At a news conference on
    July 7, 2016, Duterte displays a diagram of drug cartels. When I was younger I agreed to the
    killings of the drug war since I was still ignorant of how the different victims of this
    campaign were affected. I have now realized that I was under vincible ignorance because
    no matter how big of a problem drugs may have posed, the killing of a 16-year-old is a
    belligerent act. The issue of this documentary is fear and violence, due to the fear of
    President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and the effects of drugs on the country he enforced a strict
    and brutal way to end it. He imposed not only violence but also fear in the Philippines.
    Although his intentions were good to stop drug trafficking in the Philippines, the way he
    enforced it was bad and morally wrong. Another illustration of the harsh stance the
    government takes against individuals who are in need of basic necessities is the abusive
    techniques employed to punish those accused of violating quarantine and the enormous
    number of mass arrests that have been made to date, primarily against the poor.
    In conclusion, I do not agree with the way that president duterte handled the
    situation of drugs in the Philippines. I agree that we should imprison and punish those who
    try to ruin our society, but being able to point and shoot them without hesitance would be a
    scary society to live. I believe that he could’ve ended the flow of drugs in the Philippines
    without using violence and fear, educating poverty-stricken cities about the use of drugs
    would have been a moral way of stopping the improper use of illegal drugs. Killing a 16-
    year-old child is the same as destroying the future.
