The illegal drug trade in the Philippines remains a serious national concern. Two of the most used and valuable illegal drugs in the country are methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) and marijuana.Ephedrine and methylenedioxy methamphetamine are also among the list of illegal drugs that are of great concern to the authorities. According to Reuters, the President-elect of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte has predicted the country could become a 'narco-state' if the country's tide of drug addiction is not pushed back. In 2012, the United Nations said the Philippines had the highest rate of methamphetamine use in East Asia, and according to a U.S. State Department report, 2.1 percent of
Filipinos aged 16 to 64 use the drug, which is known locally as "shabu". On Metro Manila, most barangays are being affected by illegal drugs.[1] According to the 2011 UN Drug Report, the Philippines has the highest methamphetamine hydrochloride abuse rate.

Well, what about the legal drugs that destroys the minds and hearts of millions of Filipinos in the Philippines than illegal drugs have been doing so? Look at what Catholicism, Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Dating Daan, Son of God church, Jesus is Lord Church, etc. keeping us Filipinos historically poor and aimless as the Sick Man of Asia; and, keeping the Philippines morally thoughtless and economically rudderless as a nation?
Indeed, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES, thanks to the legal drugs of religion, we Filipinos only know how to love a divinity up there by hating our fellow-citizens in own country down here! Even the sick, rotten, and corrupt officials of our government are always proud to publicly declare that they are all MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS - which means that all of their sins and crimes are easily forgiven by a God or by Jesus - the Son of God from heaven up there. - Poch Suzara
