"One of my cousins died from Duterte's drug killings. We didn't think he was still addicted to meth yet but they killed him anyway.
He was just visiting my Lola's house and when he was walking back home, the police surrounded him and shot him.
I have an uncle of mine that has also been addicted off and on for years. Thankfully he wasn't in the area, if he did, I can only fear the worst.
Addiction is a terrible thing, I've seen firsthand what it does to people. For my family members, addiction was the only way out of terrible things that have happened to them. Duterte and his supporters are completely neglecting how addiction is tied with mental illness. Even throughout some turbulent moments in my childhood, I don't blame my uncle and cousin for being addicts. I understand that it was a personal struggle within them to stop and sadly, drugs were the only way to cope with that
I just wanted to say that this isn't just a news headline to some people, it's actually happening in their reality. It's a sad thing to say. I never expected any of this to happen to my family especially considering that we thought he was still sober.
fukk duterte."
