Many do not appreciate the extent of drug problem in the Philippines - drug trafficking still continues unabated despite the killing related to the campaign

It is more fun criticizing

The anti drug campaign is undergoing a severe test both locally and abroad for allegedly violating human rights and the killing as a sin.  The PNP maintained that the deaths attributed to PNP is as a result of encounters - the suspect resisting arrest and shooting the arresting team. All ready there are about 2,000 who died from the campaign, the bulk of them coming by way of unknown causes.

However despite this damage, the drug traffic continues.  More and more drug labs and factories are being discovered.(like the one beneath a piggery in Pampanga)  Pushers still abound  (example lady pushers, a lady plying her trade in a market in Laguna;  another lady tried to bribe the police with huge sums of pesos)

That means the illegal drug trade is really endemic, widespread, and deep seated and only draconian measures can stop it.  The measures do not seem to be enough
