The president with the strange speech: Hell awaits drug users

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte warned those involved in drugs, whom they faced with “burg or hell” during an amazing state speech in front of the nation in which he attacked critics and upheld the death penalty such as “punishment” for crimes.

A year in his presidency, the controversial leader of the Philippines has been charged with running a drug campaign that has violated human rights laws and has claimed the lives of thousands.

In a broad speech at the Quezon City House of Representatives, Duterte said that since his election in 2016 he has been trying to remove addiction and illegal drug use.

And I believe that even now that progress and development cannot be achieved if criminals, illicit drugs and illegal drug users are allowed to move freely on the road”, He said.

Duterte told delegates that the country's economy can flourish only in peacetime, before warning that the government's crackdown on narcotics will be the shameless “”.

“The fight against illicit drugs will continue because this is the main cause of so much evil and so much suffering. [Basies] weaken social structure and hinder foreign investment”,He added.

Despite international and local pressures, the war will not stop until those dealing with this [drug] realize they have to stop, because alternatives are prison or hell”, He said.
