http://atlantablackstar.com/2016/08/24/philippines-president-puts-u-s-on-blast-why-are-you-killing-black-people/
During an Aug. 20 press conference, the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, confronts a reporter about the backlash his nation has received regarding their policing.
Over the last few months, the United Nations and United States have criticized Duterte for his heavy-handed response to drug dealers.
There have been claims of extreme police brutality and human rights violations thrown his way.
In the clip, the president points out the hypocrisy of the two political bodies alleging that his administration violates citizens’ rights.
“The Philippine government is worried about what is being done to the Black people there in America,” Duterte starts. “[They are] being shot even while lying down. Why are the Blacks being killed on trumped up charges? There’s a hatred there being sowed by their government.”
The controversial new president of the Philippines is now urging the public to ? drug addicts

The newly elected Philippines president, Rodrigo Duterte, urged a crowd of about 500 people on Thursday to ? drug addicts, according to the Guardian.
"If you know of any addicts, go ahead and ? them yourself, as getting their parents to do it would be too painful," he told people in a Manila slum he was visiting after taking his presidential oath.
Duterte has not shied away from making other rather shocking requests to the public. Early last month, the former lawyer and mayor made similar comments urging citizens to fight crime by turning in and even killing suspected drug dealers.
"If a drug dealer resists arrest or refuses to be brought to a police station and threatens a citizen with a gun or a knife, "you can ? him," Duterte said in a nationally televised speech in early June. "Shoot him and I'll give you a medal."
But in what seems to be an escalation, the 71-year-old president is now suggesting that the responsibility for the country's drug problem rests with addicts themselves and that killing them would be good business for funeral parlors.
“I assure you you won’t go bankrupt. If your business slows I will tell the police, ‘Do it faster to help the people earn money,' " he told the crowd.
Duterte, who was sworn in as president this week, has been accused of having previous links to vigilante death squads in Davao, the Guardian reported. His presidential campaign was focused largely on what he described as his fight against corruption and illegal drugs.
Human rights groups have told reporters that they are concerned that Duterte's comments regarding fighting crime and corruption in the Philippines might lead to rights violations.
Rex has long said that dope fiends are the cause of the drug problem and the only effective way to deal with problem is to eliminate the demand and you eliminate the demand by liquidating the fiends. Props to President Duterte for having the ? to recognize and understand this and encouraging his countrymen to do so. Also props to him putting the U.S. on blast.

Sound like he just tryna deflect to get the heat off his own fuckery. What he said about how Americans treat blacks wasn't incorrect, but he damn sure didn't say it out of a genuine concern for us.

Lol at liquidating a person or a group of people. Not only is that something you would expect an edgy child to say, you're ignoreing the fact that on one hand
"The Philippine government is worried about what is being done to the Black people there in America,” Duterte starts. “[They are] being shot even while lying down. Why are the Blacks being killed on trumped up charges? There’s a hatred there being sowed by their government" and instead praising “I assure you you won’t go bankrupt. If your business slows I will tell the police, ‘Do it faster to help the people earn money,'
You can't condemn the killing of young black men while on the other hand if his country had the sane ethnic background of America we cab see that young black man would also be killed on trumped up charges. -

But he's killing fiends though and he should be commended for that. -
I have a feeling this is simply political posturing.
Wouldn't get moved to believe he really is with what he's saying until he put some action and/or funding behind their words.
If not I wouldn't rush in to be a ? in a potential game they're playing. -
I've been saying something like this is needed. There is no way to correct issues that have been plaguing our community. I'm not talking outside forces (i.e. police, racism, etc.). I'm talking incorrigible African Americans ? , pimping, killing, selling drugs. Purge them all. Only then can we truly move forward as a race of people that can be great for us
-
Meh....
I've never been to the Phillipines, but I'm guessing blacks over there aren't treated much better. -
? said "liquidating fiends". Lord help em.

In Philippines’ War on Drugs, Dealers Choose Retirement Over Death
President Rodrigo Duterte’s ? crackdown has suspects surrendering and addicts flooding rehabilitation centers

MANILA—Thousands of drug dealers and addicts have been surrendering themselves at police stations and flocking to rehabilitation centers across the Philippines, hoping to escape a ? war on drugs unleashed by newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte. But there’s a problem: Authorities say they can’t cope with the sheer number of drug addicts suddenly seeking help.
A campaign pledge to take extreme action on drugs—primarily by killing thousands of suspected dealers—helped propel Mr. Duterte to a comfortable election victory two months ago. In the first 10 days after he took office June 30, police by their own reckoning shot dead around 60 suspected dealers, compared with 39 killed between Jan. 1 and May 9, the day Mr. Duterte was elected.
Police officials say the officers involved in these incidents followed the rules of engagement and were forced to shoot suspects who resisted arrest. Several lawmakers, however, have called for an investigation into the sudden increase in killings.
During a visit to police headquarters early this month, Mr. Duterte encouraged officers not to hold back. “Do your duty, and if in the process you ? 1,000 persons because you were doing your duty, I will protect you,” he said.
Like other countries in the region, the Philippines in recent years has experienced a surge in the use of highly addictive crystal methamphetamine, known locally as “shabu.” The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says that methamphetamine seizures in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania quadrupled between 2008 and 2013.
The Philippines’ Dangerous Drugs Board counted 1.3 million drug users nationwide in a 2012 study, but lawmakers have said the true figure may be nearer 10 million—one-tenth of the population. The U.N. statistics suggest methamphetamine use is more common in the Philippines than in neighboring countries.
To see drug suspects surrendering to police or users seeking rehabilitation en masse is a “happy problem,” said board chairman Felipe Rojas. But resources are urgently needed to treat them, he said.
Leaders in some of the Philippines’ poorest communities say that Mr. Duterte’s approach is doomed to fail unless his administration stops viewing the drug problem as a law-and-order issue and starts addressing it as a social one. Otherwise, they say, dealers and addicts will return to their old ways or be replaced by a new generation of offenders.
The Philippines has 45 rehabilitation centers nationwide—too few to cope with the number of addicts being driven into the open by the antidrug campaign, according to people familiar with the challenges of weaning addicts off crystal ? .
“Ever since May 9 there’s been huge demand,” said Guillermo Gomez, program director at Bridges of Hope, a Manila rehabilitation center. “We were full even before Duterte came in.”
Bridges of Hope only has space for 92 patients, Mr. Gomez said. But in the single largest mass surrender of drug dealers and addicts, around 4,000 individuals handed themselves into police in Davao on Saturday, filing into a large hall to sign a giant “commitment wall” confessing their crimes, the police said. In the first 10 days of July, more than 17,000 drug users surrendered to the authorities in the Davao region alone, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency said this week, with thousands more surrendering nationwide.
Parents of addicts, worried their children will be shot by the police, are bringing them in, Mr. Gomez said.
Mr. Gomez, himself a recovering drug addict, said that without well-planned social initiatives to help people beat addiction for good, Mr. Duterte’s purge at best would produce a short-term dip in levels of drug offending.
As a young man, Mr. Gomez, now 44 years old, played soccer for the Philippines’ national junior team and majored in journalism. But close to graduation he started dabbling in shabu. For the next 15 years, his life became a morbid cycle of addiction, rehab and relapse, he said. Mr. Gomez finally won his battle with shabu five years ago and started working in rehabilitation to help others, he said.
Mr. Duterte has underestimated the economic power of the drug trade, Mr. Gomez said. When he started using shabu in the 1990s it was a pricey, imported drug available only in Manila, he recalled. But today, cooking shabu is a widespread cottage industry, which has helped to spread the drug nationally and halved the price to $2 for a single hit.
Community leaders in the central Philippine city of Bacolod said shabu has become a ubiquitous problem there in recent years.
In the Barangay 2 district, one of the city’s most deprived, community leader Victor Aliguin said one-third of the neighborhood’s 5,000 residents were actively involved in selling shabu, which they obtain in small amounts from the city’s drug networks. Pushing has become the only way to make ends meet in a former fishing community whose waters have been fished out, he said.
“Duterte doesn’t understand the problems we have in small communities where people depend on selling drugs to survive,” said Mr. Aliguin. “Duterte needs to prioritize jobs, not crime—then people wouldn’t need to sell drugs in the first place.”
But in nearby Barangay 26, community leader Tony Arroz said Mr. Duterte’s plan to eliminate drug dealers first and foremost was the correct approach. He identified several local dealers he planned to target in support of Mr. Duterte’s clampdown.
“He’s a pusher,” Mr. Arroz said, pointing to a young man loitering outside a food stall drinking a beer. “He’s a pusher, too,” as another rode past on a flashy motorbike. “Drugs are rampant here. I’ve been shouting about fighting drugs for so long, but until now I’ve been a one-man army.” -

He just pulled a white man comeback.
"Well what about black on black crime?"
Because we know white people don't care about blacks killing blacks, they just use it as a way to deflect. Same ? he's doing. -

Nearly 60,000 Filipino drug addicts have surrendered themselves to the government after President Rodrigo Duterte urged citizens to 'go ahead and ? ' drug dealers and users.
Mr Duterte, dubbed 'The Punisher', won elections in May and promised a law-and-order crackdown on drugs.
'These sons of ? are destroying our children. I warn you, don't go into that, even if you're a policeman, because I will really ? you,' the president told an audience during a speech in the country's capital, Manila. Presidential Communications Office Secretary Martin Andanar said close to 60,000 drug dependents have surrendered to authorities since the administration began its intensified campaign against drugs.

Police have confirmed killing more than 110 drug suspects since the president came to power, while local news reports suggest that figure is around 200. At least 43,000 alleged drug traffickers have been 'neutralised' and 300kg of shabu, a highly addictive methamphetamine, has been confiscated, according to local reports.
President Duterte has warned of widespread bloodshed as part of the government's war on drugs. He vowed on one occasion during the election campaign that 100,000 people would die, and so many bodies would be dumped in Manila Bay that the fish there would grow fat from feeding on them, according to the South China Morning Post. Duterte has also told police he would protect them from legal consequences if they killed drug dealers, the Post reported.
Last week, gruesome images showing slain drug dealers with 'I'm a pusher' signs covering their chests emerged. The grim scenes of alleged drug dealers found shot dead in Manila last week are growing increasingly common as police wage a ? war on narcotics.
The government's top lawyer called for police to ? more suspected drug criminals, as he defended president Duterte's brutal war on crime against mounting criticism.
As the official death toll has mounted, and other bodies not confirmed killed by police have been found with placards declaring them drug traffickers, human rights lawyers have expressed deep concerns about the war on crime spiralling out of control.
In response to the criticism, Solicitor General Jose Calida held a press conference on Monday at national police headquarters to insist on the legality of the police killings and to encourage more deaths of people suspected of being involved in the drug trade. 'To me, that is not enough,' Calida said of the killings so far. 'How many drug addicts or pushers are there in the Philippines? Our villages are almost saturated (with drugs).' A lawyer and a former prosecutor, Duterte has urged law enforcers to ? those they believe are involved in the drug trade, as well as other criminals.
In one of the deadliest single incidents, police reported killing eight 'drug personalities' during a pre-dawn raid on Saturday in a small southern town. One of the nation's top human rights lawyers, Jose Manuel Diokno, warned last week that Duterte had 'spawned a nuclear explosion of violence that is spiralling out of control and creating a nation without judges'.
Former senator Rene Saguisag, a prominent human rights lawyer during the regime of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, also criticised Duterte's statements naming and shaming alleged drug lords and police officers ahead of a formal investigation.
'Do we still probe and have a trial as part of due process? Useless, it seems to me,' Saguisag wrote in an online column last week. Some opposition lawmakers have also called for a congressional investigation into the spate of killings.
Calida, a Duterte appointee, said he would protect police from or during congressional probes, while emphasising it was up to critics to prove allegations of abuse rather than base inquiries on speculation. 'I am here to encourage the (police) not to be afraid of any congressional or senate investigations. We will defend them ... I am the defender of the (police),' he said. -
So let me get this straight some of are advocating a "cleansing" of drug addicts. Basically stating they are beyond redemption?
You do realize this man was a drug addict, thief and criminal right?
-
This is just a case of, "Me?! What about you?".
Doubt he cares that blacks are getting killed. -
Why punish the drug addicts tho? Go after how the drugs get into the country in the first place. Go after poverty. Cuz nobody cares about rich drug users, only the poor ones.
-
Im not listening to some Filipino president that tells people to murder people with drug addictions. Filipinos dont even ? with black people like that, and im suppose to listen to this guy.
Im listening to this dude like...

Exactly. This dude literally sanctioned killings of citizens from his own mouth. -
We don't need his kind of help.
-
This is good because it justifies the cries from the black citizens of Amerikkka. Everyone sees what's happening, so it's always a plus when other governments speak out, even if they do have an ulterior motive.
Anyone who has a problem with dude speaking out is suffering from some kind of post slave disorder or is still a slave. Ol' leave my ? alone ass ? . -

Lol wtf is wrong with yall?
"I dont think he really cares about us he is just saying stuff"
Who tf cares. He is just pointing out the hypocrisy of those criticizing him
The point is other nations do see that the US is full of ? when it comes to black people.
All that other ? about how he governs his country or fights crime is on him and the people that voted for him and the flips that are dumb enough to still be involved in crime over there. -

Yes, im a slave. You got me. That stupid ? youre saying only flies in circles of other morons. You go around actual smart people and use a president who called for the genocide of his own people simply because they were addicts, as some type of credible voice to be listened to, and see how they laugh you out of their circle.
Philippines is filled with racism against blacks, and darker skin Filipinos in general. Yet here you are taking the scraps from a dude who aint ? , just because it fits your agenda. Who sounds like a slave now? -
America is asking him about why he kills drug dealers and questioning his leadership.
His rebuttal is “well why are you killing your black citizens?"
Seems like a legit response and question?
Him caring about us isn't valid to his inquiry. -

I don't do the whole hand out thing, I'll handle my own problems. I just see the good in calling ? ? out, despite who says it. Hopefully it starts a trend, and we eventually get the spotlight, which can spark change a little quicker.
I don't see how this can be spinned as something negative if you're black in Amerikkka. -
I ? hate fiends.
