President Duterte Says 'It is now peaceful to walk anywhere in Manila'

President Duterte believes his war on drugs has good results, saying there are now fewer crime incidents, especially in Manila. 

ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group claims the total of 1,109 or 60% were killed during police operations. It was three months ago and at least 1,800 have been killed in Duterte administration's war on drugs.

President Duterte's anti-crime campaign has alarmed the international community but he has remained unfazed by criticisms, saying his war on drugs has resulted in fewer crimes, especially in Manila.

“Kita mo ngayon, nawala. Iyung reduction ng crime, the dive [was] almost 50 percent. Now, it’s a bit peaceful to walk anywhere sa Manila,” President Duterte said in a speech in Davao City.
