and the corrupt.

“I agree. Mapanganib ang bansa sa mga kriminal, sa mga korupt, sa mga
kasama sa sindikato ng droga. Talagang mapanganib (The country is dangerous for criminals, for
corrupt, for drug syndicates. It’s really dangerous,” Panelo said in a Palace
briefing.
“Kasi hindi naman hihinto ang ating mga law enforcement (because our law enforcement
will not stop) against criminals and drug lords, pushers who are destroying the
fabric of our society,” he added.
Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project
(ACLED) claims that “President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs has driven this
violence, with alleged drug suspects accounting for almost 75 percent of this
year’s civilian deaths”.
On its website, ACLED, is known as the “highest
quality, most widely used, real time data and analysis source on political
violence and protest in the developing world.”
