‘PATTERNS OF DRUG USE DO NOT EXIST IN A VACUUM’
Paolina Massidda, common legal representative of victims of former president Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war, highlighted the realities of why poor communities are vulnerable to drug use.
“In these communities, structural conditions including the absence of adequate mental health services, limited access to quality education, scarce employment opportunities, and the chronic stress associated with poverty, create an environment in which substance use is more likely to emerge,” she said during the confirmation of charges hearing on Tuesday.

No country will take us seriously if Rodrigo will be found guilty and then Inday becomes president in a matter of a couple of years.
They will think we are a bunch of schizophrenics or indecisive fools.
In all my years of travelling, today was my first terrible experience with PH immigration. The officer who cleared my entry just radiated rudeness and hostility unprovoked, that i felt demeaned (and that’s not easy to do).
Unprofessional and entitled.
