Wow. Um. Okay.

Gonna play devil's advocate here, though... I'm willing to bet they achieve record level lows in crime and drug abuse.

Thousands of drug dealers and drug addicts are now surrendering to the police just a week after President Duterte has been inaugarated.

Wow, that's impressive. I suppose when you surround a certain group of people with predators looking for awards, they're going to start turning themselves in to save their skins.

 

It's a brutal regime, but if this is true... It's hard to argue with results like that. I'd like to see the numbers on surrenders vs executions, because if the number of surrenders outnumber executions by a large enough number... Hmm. 

 

Quite effective, of not barbaric.
