The Philippines I like the Philippines. As I mentioned in the previous notebook entry, I stayed there for about 6 months to study English. I met a lot of people there, all of them are very friendly. Still now, I like to go there whenever I have spare time for that. But I read an article from some magazine about the Philippines. Since the president of the Philippines was replaced with the guy who I forgot the name of him, his most priority of political measure is to kill drug dealers. I do understand that a drug, especially the most dangerous drug that have been flourishing around in the Philippines called Shabu, needs to be eliminated. But how he organizes policemen doesn't make me understand. To put it simply, You can get paid if you kill a drug dealer. based on that policy, he already killed more than 3000 people so far, and the number is growing. I assume that some people of that number was killed accidentally or in a way that they didn't necessarily need to be killed. Killing people who get involved in drug business isn't the only way to solve this issue. Maybe I just don't know what really happens there, what really deeply drug issue is. But one thing for sure, I am now scared of going to the Philippines. You can't deny the possibility to get involved in the drug business or incident. On the other hand, there is certainly this kind of opinion that innovators do and act unprecedented things that ordinary people wouldn't do, even come up with which more or less make sense. So the conclusion is that maybe this might be a good way for them to be a better country. There might be happy ending by doing this which no one has ever imagined except for the president of the Philippines. I hope one day I can go visit my Philippino friends without any concerns like that.
