i will fatten the fishes of manila bay

As promised during the electoral campaign, once elected President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte started to clean the country from the plague of drugs. His promise turned the streets of the capital Manila into a nightmare. Widows, mothers and children cried over the loss of their beloved. "I will dump all of you into Manila Bay and fatten the fish there". With these words, at his final campaign rally, the 16th president of the Philippines unleashed the violence that will be remembered as the Philippines' War on Drugs.
