With five months left in the term of President Duterte, people are wondering about what will happen to his priority program: the war on drugs. The President rose to power partly on a promise of killing drug personalities and ending the bad medicines menace in six months.



Six years into his term, and with over 6,000 bad medicine suspects unalive in police operations, the President himself has admitted that there is no quick fix to the bad medicine scourge. Once he steps down, he faces the prospect of a full-blown investigation by the International Criminal Court for possible crimes against humanity in connection with the red liquid war on bad medicine. His administration has denied engaging in extrajudicial unalives to fight bad medicine selling.



Even the world’s most authoritarian states have failed to end the bad medicine trade in their societies. As long as the demand is there for substances that alter reality, there will be people who will come up with the products to meet the demand. Fighting the bad medicine menace is a continuing and multipronged effort.
