The people have spoken and have elected a very popular Supreme National Leader in the last national elections. He was elected mainly because of his national agenda which is to effect CHANGE. He vowed to effect change by obliterating corruption, criminality and the proliferation of illegal drugs.
After having been elected to the highest elective position of the land, the Supreme National Leader has made his promise a reality regarding his war on illegal drugs. Plenty of crackdowns, arrests and killings in relation to his dreaded DRUG WAR happened, two thousand plus government led executions happened and four thousand plus vigilante killings came into being, all of which happened in the name of CHANGE and in the pursuit of a DRUG FREE Philippines.
The surveys would show that eighty percent of the PEOPLE WHO SEEK CHANGE approve the bloody moves of the State in its war against drugs. Does this mean that the people in general becomes blood thirsty in the pursuit of change? Change is good but it has to be effected in a humane manner, change has also to start from every citizen for the same starts from within.
Niccolo Machiavelli, one of the leading political thinkers of Europe during the medieval times had said and I quote that "the end justifies the means", applying this statement to the recent spate of killings IN RE:DRUG WAR, the end really justifies the means. However, in a christian nation and a democratic loving country like the Philippines, the end does not justify the means when human life is already disrespected and the democratic processes in connection to an individual's pursuit for happiness, liberty, life and property are already violated in the name of change.
