Duterte promise to the solve illegal drugs activity in 3-6 months. Can he fullfill his promise? Can he do it in this short period of time. I hope he will be successful at the end of the day. Life must go on. So live our life to the fullest. Its Philippines time so we can work together to change the Philippines for the better country.

It's an impossible mission to stop all illegal drug activity, but in terms of solving the main problem he has done a heck of a good job on that metric, with issues of course but they are necessary ones as the Phillippines is not like some first world countries that can afford drug rehab clinics and go about treating the symptom (Drug addicts) but not the disease to a large extent (Dealers). In order to resolve that reducing supply and forcing demand aka prices up decreases the market ideally but well we will see how that pans out, public support is high though for this top level scrubbing at least, the underground will take more time to clean up.
It also is clearing up some of the internal corruption although a lot of that still exists given the temptation of high salaries to corrupt officers to turn a blind eye to their dealings.

Although I'm sure the Triads and US ones are not that happy he is messing with their business and are pressuring some of the higher echelons to stop him.
