Yep. Police killed 110 suspects over the weekend and many bodies have been left on streets with notes attached saying they were drug dealers or addicts. Now they say that those non-police deaths will be investigated and should not be happening but when the president leading the way says things like this:
Quote:
"To me, that is not enough. How many drug addicts or pushers are there in the Philippines? Our villages are almost saturated [with drugs]," Philippines Solicitor-General Jose Calida said of the killings Tuesday, Agence France-Press reported. "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]."
"These sons of whores are destroying our children. I warn you, don’t go into that, even if you’re a policeman, because I will really kill you," Duterte said after being sworn in, the Guardian reported. "If you know of any addicts, go ahead and kill them yourself as getting their parents to do it would be too painful."

Now I believe he would say it was directed at police but, well you know...
Now thousands have apparently turned themselves in because they fear for their lives but I wouldn't really call that a victory based on the methods.
