Even Filipinos who didn't finish school can speak and understand English very well. A foreigner can easily ask directions in English on a local. The grammar may not be perfect, but communicating will be effective enough. It's because Philippines is heavily influenced by the Americans since world war 2, even until today. Americans movies and shows, American brands and foods. It's ingrained into the Filipino culture. You can say that pinoys idolize Americans because they see them in movies and commercials, and also pinoy think every American is rich. that's why Filipinos try to emulate Americans. Most Filipinos learn English just by watching movies, they mimic the American actors

Great idea. I'd really like to see that. That would answer one of the biggest curiousities about what Duterte is doing. How effective are the mass killings of both users and dealers? How much is Duterte really correcting or hurting the situation? Do they have statistics on typical shabu prices on street in Manila or any place through years? I wonder how much the prices went up since Duterte.
Its not as bad as before because the war on drugs campaign really lessen the users and pushers. I live in caloocan and it used to be a drug infested area and you can see thugs everywhere on the street. After the war on drugs caloocan has change, it became more safer and tons of users/pushers were eliminated.
I grew up and was born in the Philippines, but I moved to the states when I was younger. Sad to see this side of my country, usually the people are very kind and it’s really a beautiful country... hopefully we don’t end up struggling with drugs like Mexico, this is very sad
Well Mexico’s cartels have modern day guns and vehicles so I don’t think it will get as bad as Mexico’s drug problem but it still sucks how much drugs can effect countrys
I am not much of a fan of Duterte, in fact, I disagree with a lot of his platforms. But I think Duterte is having a good enough fight to neutralizing dealers. I feel much safer in today's Philippines (when it comes to drugs, of course). But other aspect of Philippine Government, idk.

@@rappydope5975 maybe but what they were saying were true theres like lots of bodies in the streets of manila with a sign on their bodies sometimes they dont even have a head
This documentary holds true only in Philippine areas where the urban poor lives. But if you go to places where the middle and upper class and working citizen lives, you will be shock to learn that druglords have decent daily jobs, active in religious and social communties, doing charities, and most of all they dont need guns and bodyguards to play the game. It's a network deeply seated and deeply rooted that only with a political will and power can destroy it. Purging them would take decades and only time will tell who will win the Drug War. The vigilante or the syndicate. God bless the 🇵🇭.
Indeed, a lot of the best drug traffickers' are not the monsters many people often thing of. They are usually the most unassuming of people. However if you think about it that makes sense cause being very unassuming and non-threatening is a very significant advantage.
vice: I fear for the "informants" being shown on camera without enough censor / blur in their voices, body shape, clothes, skin color and how they move. people who know them would more likely still recognize them. just their face covered is not enough... they could end up dead because of this documentary
My personal experience from drug abuse is that it turn your world upside down. You became far from family and friends. You will be alone.you can't do normal jobs in Society. You can not be the man that you were be using drugs. You can't think properly and you wish to die at last. İt's a horrible feeling you can't help your self to avoids drug. Thanks God i am now safe because of my family and friends helped me. They have suffered a lot but they didn't quit. Plz don't hate your love ones for being addicted to drugs they have fall in a trap and need serious help. Plz help them
It's best to never start to begin with, because it never ends well even if you stop, it's just a bunch of wasted money and misery for both you and your family.

I'm from philippines, salute to this guy risking his own life, just to document and to interview some drug users and drug dealers here in phil. what a balls of steel sir.
I was in Cebu 3 weeks ago driving downtown in a taxi at night. The driver told me that before Duterte, it was very dangerous down there, even for Filipinos. They were selling drugs on every corner. People being mugged and murdered raped etc. He told me 3 months after Duterte was elected, it all disappeared. The city has been clean to this day. The only way to deal with evil is with evil. I wish we could do the same in the USA.
So detailed and accurate. This guy is ballsy enough to go through the inner workings of poverty-striken part of Manila and interview low-level players. Maybe being from the outside (a foreigner) helped getting the trust of these low-level narcos. Shabu, or poor man's cocaine, destroyed countless number of families and the society.
@@based_mediumchungus1788 I can sense sarcasm but all drugs are okay in moderation. The violence comes from prohibition and the theft comes from desperation. No one is stealing money for drugs if they have plenty of drugs. If people want to do dangerous things to themselves they should be allowed to. We allow people to get alcohol poisoning and jump from planes not to mention risk their lives and die in the military.
Meth didn’t destroy anything. The people did that. Millions of people are prescribed amphetamines and aren’t destroying their families. You can use meth the same way. The problem is when you have a disgusting person and introduce a super addictive drug into their lives it often allows them to be the person they really are without hiding it anymore.
After seeing that regular smg you would think they are low-level, but you see at 9:14 this man has a Glock 18 (where even high level narcos have a hard time finding this machine pistol due to it being rare and available only to military and police) this man is just highly connected 💀

Out of 100 cops, there are only 10 who are good cops. I can totally relate. I live in the Philippines and I can say that this veteran is telling the truth. Although I haven't finished Police Academy, I've done the pre-requisite training before becoming a cop. My classmates are all scum say for a few. They cheat a lot during exams and tests and are really good at lying. You might ask? What does that have to do with being a corrupt cop? Well, let me tell you that what you learn in school is what you bring with you once you graduate. So, what happens if people learn how to cheat in school and take the easy way out? They will also learn how to cheat with their jobs.. Simple as that. That's why I never pursued being a cop because I could already see the future environment I''ll be working in.

I really enjoyed this reporter. Was able to get both perspectives without adding his personal opinion all while staying extremely respectful and informative.
This really opens up a new perspective on drugs. As said in this documentary, many do it for money, some do it because of peer pressure, and some do it because they are neglected. With this information, we understand that we have to take another approach at reducing drug usage. We have to help people, we have to give them attention, and we have to strengthen them.
I'm actually amazed that the dealers agreed to be interviewed by a foreigner for some documentary which can be viewed online. I've never seen a documentary like this in the local news channels. Never. Well done, VICE News.

Man, i salute to you. It is very risky to do this kind of documentary, especially in my country because theses kind of people really sneaky if they wanted to kill you any moment. Thank you for your sacrifice
Being poor in the Phillipines is different than most other places, spent a while there and in this video they say 25% of people are living in poverty, if you walk around manilla for a day you'd probably estimate closer to 75% The outer provinces are even worse especially up north
Im from the northern side of the country, i like it better here. We have less meth, although we do have lots of marijuana. Meth is way more dangerous tho, messes up the brain. I hope they dont bring up the meth business up in here. Im glad our president Duterte is doing his part to destroy these drug cartels.
police can find criminal easily and drug traffickers it’s just they can’t get money from them that’s why as much as possible they are hunting some druglords since druglords pay more in exchange of freedom,and oh some police are drug protectors,even some of them have children that are selling drugs.
+Rudrigo Abrigana Yeah...even in this video now that person can be recognized. They should have blurred the t-shirt, too. That seems to be a pretty common mistake among journalists. I'm always wondering how blurring the face should help, when you still can identify a person from other details such as clothes.
wasistdortlos Yeah exactly. Body features too. There should be a big black box where the informant is, covering ALL parts. They shouldn't even show where they pick up the infomant either, that's really fucking stupid. All those people around there can ID her.
Yep. I've never understood why they blur someone's face.. Unless you're half blind or mentally handicapped, you can still pick out somebody's facial features.. If you want to keep someone's identity secret, don't show their face, AND BODY for that fucking matter, at all.. But black the person's face out at least.. Blurring it does fuck all

@@johndor7793 i think what he means is the Duterte war on drugs, at the start of the war on drugs Duterte ordered police and even civilians to execute all drug dealers and users, the last 2-3 years now the government in Philippines has offered them a chance to quit the drug first before any follow up action, but most of the criminals decided to turn themselves in cause it's better than death, that is what he means by saying most of them are probably dead now.
"They took me out to the brush to train with their weapons"... forward to guys holding weapons weakly and shooting at the ground 5 feet away hahahahaha
The fact that the state in the form of the police seem to be heavily in the drug trade says a lot. Systemic corruption like that combined with widespread poverty provide continuing feeding ground for the drug sellers/murderers. At the same time it is good to see that the police leadership is openly acknowledging the corruption within their ranks. It's an important first step in potentially stemming the tide and perhaps turning things around
By the way the “informant” in this show died a week later, she wore the same shirt and a spotter spotted it and reported it to there gang. They hunted them down and after a small gun battle they ran away
Yeah i ewas mad about5 how they barely fucking blurred anyones faces. People who live there wpoudl easily be able to strill identiofy all of them, WTF Vice is KNOWN to be snitches! They got El Chapo caught with Seann penn
Charlie Carl In countries and areas with few jobs and opportunity the selling of drugs is a way to make money. Also for some people use it to dull the pain of a miserable lives. Alcohol is just bad and in some cases worst.
These drug dealers do not live in slum actually. they live in subdivisions middle class areas. they just do business in slums. These people are protected by the Philippine National Police.. Those whom you've interviewed may be a protector of these cartels.
Most of these residents are born in to big poor families. They have nothing else going on in life, no extracurricular activities to keep busy. They hang out with friends that eventually lead to gangs. Young kids become part of gangs because parents aren't there. They are busy trying to provide for them. Shabu provides an escape. We can ressolve the problem by proving activities that keep kids off the street. Living in the ph, I saw kids in the streets late at night. No parents in sight. I hope one day I can start something to help. Maybe push sports and the arts more. Provide steady jobs. I just want to help them so bad. It hurts to see huge skyscrapers overlooking squatters. It hurts me to see the misinformation. One day I promise to help. Just gotta work hard. Great doc. btw
Totally true. My father lived this life until he was able to come to America on his own. To him, it was terrifying. He was only a teen when he got into the worst parts of this society. My grandfather left him so he can try to set a foundation for my father but it was a struggle for my grandfather here in America. So my dad relied on his friends and family while trying to make more out of the peso which is less than an American dollar. What my people need is more of a better education, if we did not have a weak education system, we would be prevailing more to what Americans failed to see back in the American-Philippine war. We have the capability, the population but not the money or education. And this goes to all third war countries that I have seen documentaries on.
@@luffydragneel2100 Yeah because the British and American military don't have competitions for their marksmen. What's the point in competing against pre-determined courses ? That's not reality. What makes a marksman is how they tackle real combat situations, not how they shoot at the range. Whilst the Philippine army is busy avoiding conflict and shooting targets, the British and American Special forces are out doing operations in reality and getting results. 5 members of the SAS would make a mockery out of they whole of the Philippine army. That is not me hating, that is just straight up facts. The SAS are one of the most elite special forces in the world and have a track record of excellence. Look how long it took the Philippine army to get back a city that was taken over by jihadist fighters. You guys where absolute clueless and out of your depth. Guerrilla terrorist sell made a mockery out of your army. So much so that you had to get America to come and help you guys out. Ask your soldiers as well, there is many documentaries with them during the conflict telling the world how much they where struggling. I've never seen the SAS or American special forces or the green berets begging other countries for help. Hell these guys are ones that go head first into trouble and most of the world doesn't even know the operations they have going word-wide. So sorry to say but the British elite forces, as the Americans would just laugh at your shooting team. Maybe next time you can pick actual special force operatives and not just some random army representatives. Oh and thank the Americans for helping you get marawi back from mere terrorist fighters and not combat veterans lol. If it wasn't for the Americans coming in and taking charge of your tactical approach, giving you intel and reconnaissance and showing you how it's done. You would have never get that city back. Your Army where out of their depth. Maybe if you spend less time focusing on Military competition and shooting drills and actually getting battle experience, then the people of Marawi would have never had so many innocents killed due to your Army being not trained enough to handle that situation.

I have had a battle with addiction to this drug over the last few years, but I am finally getting the better of it.

In New Zealand, its the same here, meth is the easiest drug to buy in this country than weed. Price has gone cheap than what it used to be, and it has increased every year for the past 20 years as well. Its like this in most countries now.
In Canada for the past 10 years the price of meth just kept dropping. Now it's so cheap it's unbelievable. Cheaper than weed and our weed was already really cheap

In Indonesia we also have the same problem with the shabu (we also call it with the same name), but the punishment is severe for the dealers and producers, which is the death penalty. maybe Vice can do a comparison coverage between the philipines and indonesia in terms of the Shabu culture
If we vote Rodrigo Duterte as next president of the Philippines this year, he will bring back the death penalty, just like Joko Widodo has done in Indonesia, and put an all out war against drugs and drug pushers.. He's the front runner now, so it's good news for justice and safety in our country

I grew up and was born in the Philippines, but I moved to the states when I was younger. Sad to see this side of my country, usually the people are very kind and it’s really a beautiful country... hopefully we don’t end up struggling with drugs like Mexico, this is very sad
do not worry president is cleansing
Well Mexico’s cartels have modern day guns and vehicles so I don’t think it will get as bad as Mexico’s drug problem but it still sucks how much drugs can effect countrys
I am not much of a fan of Duterte, in fact, I disagree with a lot of his platforms. But I think Duterte is having a good enough fight to neutralizing dealers. I feel much safer in today's Philippines (when it comes to drugs, of course). But other aspect of Philippine Government, idk.

I'm from philippines, salute to this guy risking his own life, just to document and to interview some drug users and drug dealers here in phil. what a balls of steel sir.
I was in Cebu 3 weeks ago driving downtown in a taxi at night. The driver told me that before Duterte, it was very dangerous down there, even for Filipinos. They were selling drugs on every corner. People being mugged and murdered raped etc. He told me 3 months after Duterte was elected, it all disappeared. The city has been clean to this day. The only way to deal with evil is with evil. I wish we could do the same in the USA.
How they zoomed on his watch after he said "the pillars of corruption"
Not defending these cops but the brass can afford these luxuries since the president doubled their salary.
So detailed and accurate. This guy is ballsy enough to go through the inner workings of poverty-striken part of Manila and interview low-level players. Maybe being from the outside (a foreigner) helped getting the trust of these low-level narcos. Shabu, or poor man's cocaine, destroyed countless number of families and the society.
meth is okay in moderation, just legalize it.
@@based_mediumchungus1788 I can sense sarcasm but all drugs are okay in moderation. The violence comes from prohibition and the theft comes from desperation. No one is stealing money for drugs if they have plenty of drugs.
If people want to do dangerous things to themselves they should be allowed to. We allow people to get alcohol poisoning and jump from planes not to mention risk their lives and die in the military.
Meth didn’t destroy anything. The people did that. Millions of people are prescribed amphetamines and aren’t destroying their families. You can use meth the same way. The problem is when you have a disgusting person and introduce a super addictive drug into their lives it often allows them to be the person they really are without hiding it anymore.
After seeing that regular smg you would think they are low-level, but you see at 9:14 this man has a Glock 18 (where even high level narcos have a hard time finding this machine pistol due to it being rare and available only to military and police) this man is just highly connected 💀

“The police themselves who are protecting us” what a shame
Out of 100 cops, there are only 10 who are good cops. I can totally relate. I live in the Philippines and I can say that this veteran is telling the truth. Although I haven't finished Police Academy, I've done the pre-requisite training before becoming a cop. My classmates are all scum say for a few. They cheat a lot during exams and tests and are really good at lying. You might ask? What does that have to do with being a corrupt cop? Well, let me tell you that what you learn in school is what you bring with you once you graduate. So, what happens if people learn how to cheat in school and take the easy way out? They will also learn how to cheat with their jobs.. Simple as that. That's why I never pursued being a cop because I could already see the future environment I''ll be working in.

The fact that the state in the form of the police seem to be heavily in the drug trade says a lot.

Most of these residents are born in to big poor families. They have nothing else going on in life, no extracurricular activities to keep busy. They hang out with friends that eventually lead to gangs. Young kids become part of gangs because parents aren't there. They are busy trying to provide for them. Shabu provides an escape. We can ressolve the problem by proving activities that keep kids off the street. Living in the ph, I saw kids in the streets late at night. No parents in sight.

Totally true. My father lived this life until he was able to come to America on his own. To him, it was terrifying. He was only a teen when he got into the worst parts of this society. My grandfather left him so he can try to set a foundation for my father but it was a struggle for my grandfather here in America. So my dad relied on his friends and family while trying to make more out of the peso which is less than an American dollar. What my people need is more of a better education, if we did not have a weak education system, we would be prevailing more to what Americans failed to see back in the American-Philippine war. We have the capability, the population but not the money or education. And this goes to all third war countries that I have seen documentaries on.

Whilst the Philippine army is busy avoiding conflict and shooting targets, the British and American Special forces are out doing operations in reality and getting results. 5 members of the SAS would make a mockery out of they whole of the Philippine army. That is not me hating, that is just straight up facts. The SAS are one of the most elite special forces in the world and have a track record of excellence.
Look how long it took the Philippine army to get back a city that was taken over by jihadist fighters. You guys where absolute clueless and out of your depth. Guerrilla terrorist sell made a mockery out of your army. So much so that you had to get America to come and help you guys out. Ask your soldiers as well, there is many documentaries with them during the conflict telling the world how much they where struggling.
I've never seen the SAS or American special forces or the green berets begging other countries for help. Hell these guys are ones that go head first into trouble and most of the world doesn't even know the operations they have going word-wide.
So sorry to say but the British elite forces, as the Americans would just laugh at your shooting team. Maybe next time you can pick actual special force operatives and not just some random army representatives. Oh and thank the Americans for helping you get marawi back from mere terrorist fighters and not combat veterans lol. If it wasn't for the Americans coming in and taking charge of your tactical approach, giving you intel and reconnaissance and showing you how it's done. You would have never get that city back. Your Army where out of their depth. Maybe if you spend less time focusing on Military competition and shooting drills and actually getting battle experience, then the people of Marawi would have never had so many innocents killed due to your Army being not trained enough to handle that situation.

Ya accept Glock 18's are full size g17 frames, and that's a g19 compact frame which Glock doesn't make.. it's either a toy bb gun or a knockoff of some sort.
This a great documentation. Our local reporter here in PH can't do this kind documentary. Great job sir Ingat parati.
They fire those weapons like it's the first time ever touched a firearm.

In Indonesia we also have the same problem with the shabu (we also call it with the same name), but the punishment is severe for the dealers and producers, which is the death penalty. maybe Vice can do a comparison coverage between the philipines and indonesia in terms of the Shabu culture

+Gregorius Rooseno I would love to visit Indonesia. One of the countries in the world I really want to see.
If we vote Rodrigo Duterte as next president of the Philippines this year, he will bring back the death penalty, just like Joko Widodo has done in Indonesia, and put an all out war against drugs and drug pushers.. He's the front runner now, so it's good news for justice and safety in our country
2019 and they already all ded and massacred
Agree
I Love The Filipino People They're So Kind And Humble, And They Give You Their Iconic And Friendly Smile But. Their Smile Always Hide Something And It Is Sad When You Learn The Truth Of Why They Smile Even In Disaster And War I'd Love To Go Back To Their Beaches Again
