Oplan RODY: Rid the Streets Of Drinkers and Youth

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Men who violated the 10pm liquor ban, seen drinking on public places, are temporarily detained and made to do 40 push-ups at a police headquarters in Las Pinas.

Those who finished the 40 push ups were allowed to go home while those who haven't completed the punishment were jailed temporarily, the report said.

The mass arrests were made in line with “Oplan RODY,” a campaign named after Davao City mayor and now incoming president Rodrigo "Rody" Duterte or otehrwise known as "Digong."

At about 10:00pm, elements of the Las Pinas city police station led by PSUPT CONRADO N BUNYI, ACOPA together with PCI LIBRETO BUISAN, ACOPO with the full cooperation of Las Piñas City Force Multipliers under the direct supervision of PSSUPT JEMAR D MODEQUILLO, ACOP conducted "OPLAN RODY" (Rid the streets Of Drinkers and Youth) at Barangay CAA, Las Piñas City.

The said successful operation resulted to the rescue of 57 minors and the arrest of 2 Drinking in Public, 16 Half Naked and 8 for violation of RA 9165 (COMPREHENSIVE DANGEROUS DRUGS ACT OF 2002). The number was said to increase to more than 100.

Flores de Pusher is the New Walk of Shame

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Tanauan, Batangas innovates their shame campaign against drug pushers with their newly repackaged and quite humorous walk of shame dubbed as Flores de Pusher reported to have been held on May 23, 2016.

Mayor Antonio Halili came up with his own version of the Flores de Mayo designed for the drug pushers of his city. The suspects, bearing the signs that say “Ako'y drug pusher, 'wag tularan,” were made to walk under a bamboo arch with the sign “Flores de Pusher." The Mayor explained that the “walk of shame” is an approach he found effective and conceptualized the thematic event. Eleven suspected drug pushers in Tanauan, Batangas, were forced to join the walk of shame campaign.

As a staunch advocate against illegal drugs, they say presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte supports the shaming of drug pushers.

Tanauan City is known to have a lot of drug addicts and pushers, and the Mayor's Anti-Crime Group lead by MACG Chief Mr Allan Fajardo is the one assigned to implement strategies to strengthen the fight against illegal drugs.

Sigh! It seems the iron-fist and unconventional style of governance of incoming President Rodrigo Duterte is slowly rubbing off on other people. But this is considered more humane than the Davao DEath Squad. Though the Commission on Human Rights is looking at this issue with a glaring eye, I doubt they have enough political will to implement any strong resistance against the Local Government Units.
What about you? Would you commend or abhor the Flores de Pusher?
