Kinukulong naman lang. Pero yung mga malalaking ano diyan, hindi naman nila mapapatay di ba? Siyempre, yung mga simpleng ano lang, bakit nila pinatay? (Region II) There are those who kill and no one is going after them especially the “riding in tandem”. Why don’t they go after the mastermind and not the poor since those who die are mostly poor? (Region VIII) Of course, we want justice for the child. There were so many bullets put into his body, not just one. Even one could kill him, how much more is 19, what did they think, he was a rampaging tiger, that they shot him? He is only human, a thin boy. Those people with money, they are the ones [who are involved in illegal drugs], but they are being protected. They are protected because they have resources. (Region VIII) They just select their victims. That is my understanding. My son was so poor, they cannot extort from him. I heard they asked PhP 10,000 from my son. (Region IX) Both women who claimed their loved ones were not involved in drugs and women who admit that their family member was into drugs point to alternatives such as imprisonment or rehabilitation, rather than killing. I am not in favor of killing other persons. If they did wrong, they should be arrested and imprisoned and given a chance to change. (Region X) Hindi ako diyan Ma’am ta ano, kung talagang makatulong siya sa mga drug addict, yung pera na ipatong-patong na ibibigay niya sa mga pulis na pinaghahanap ang ano, eh di itayo na lang sana ng building ta ano pagtrabuhin niya yung mga addict na maliliit na nagbebenta ng worth PhP 500, PhP1,000.00, tapos hanapin yung talagang nagluluto diyan ta yan ang ikulong nya, hindi yung kamatayan niya ang anuhin nila. Tapos pumapatay, utos ng utos na pumapatay, hindi naman niya alam kung totoo o hindi. Himayin niya muna huwag yung ano…. (Region II) Hindi maganda na patayin ang taong sangkot sa droga. Ang pagpatay ay hindi solusyon sa mga taong gumagamit o nagbebenta ng droga. Di lahat ng pinapatay ay may kasalanan. Ang solusyon dito ay ang mga magulang na tulungan ang kanilang anak na lulong sa droga. (Region III) There were also others who agreed with the War on Drugs, even how it is being implemented, as long as the process is fair, and the targeting is accurate. Sa EJK, dapat sana di naman agad patayin. Observe muna if totoo or hindi. Tingnan mo nga yung ginawa ng Caloocan pulis [reference to Kian delos Santos case]. Kaya yan, sa EJK pulis ang pumapatay. More on negative ang epekto niya kasi maraming kabataan ang nadadamay. Sana usisaing mabuti, sana magkaroon ng imbestigasyon. (Region I) Maganda naman yun kasi mawawala na ang mga drugs. Matatakot na. Mawawala na yung paggamit ng drugs. Kasi ako, gusto kasi siyempre may mga anak din ako at saka mamaya malay mo maano pa nila, hindi mo rin masabi. (Region II) Isn't that Extrajudicial Killing? It’s like they kill individuals without fault, its just pointing someone out randomly…. Only those who are really guilty should only be those who are targeted. (Region VIII) Panaghoy: The Philippine War on Drugs from the Perspective of Women March 2019 41
