An impassioned post admonishing the loud few who are criticizing Duterte’s anti-drug campaign is making the rounds online.
On a Facebook post shared more than 4,000 times as of Tuesday evening, netizen Sass Rogando Sasot published her passionate argument thus far why Duterte’s bloody anti-drug campaign must continue.
In the post, Ms. Sasot expresses her empathy with the pain of the critics.
You are crying because of the alleged 530 victims of extra-judicial killings of suspected drug pushers, criminals, and addicts. You called them: “Casualties in Duterte administration’s war on crime.” I want to cry with you, but those tears are like the proverbial useless damo because patay na ang kabayo.
Then, she explicitly told the critics of Duterte to stop crying about the 500 or so casualties because those tears are like the proverbial hay and the dead horse.
The truth is she said, “We have been at war for a fucking long time already. But you didn’t care about the casualties before because they weren’t attributed to Duterte who you hate so much.”
Moving forward, Ms. Sasot proceeded to enumerate what these people whining about human rights have overlooked and quote:
You didn’t count the numbers of families destroyed by shabu, individuals who lost it and became a danger to themselves and to society. You didn’t count how many were raped, murdered, and robbed because of shabu. You didn’t count them because you didn’t really care about them. They were the stuff daily tabloids are made of. Those who belong in the laylayan ng lipunan know this very well because those are the newspapers they read, the lives they live, and the dangers they face every day.
Ms. Sasot then went on to ask the critics if they also shed tears on the nameless people killed by the drug-crazed addicts before Duterte bashing became a fad.
I want to cry with you but where were you when my friend was brutally murdered in his own house, allegedly by someone he knew who was allegedly addicted to shabu. Where were you when another friend was brutally murdered in her own house. She was stabbed to death several times, 10? 15? 20? What difference does it make? She was found dead, naked, and almost frozen in her own house. They said the murder was allegedly related to drugs. It’s always allegedly.
Their murders are unsolved.
Where were your fucking tears when “Bunso,” the youngest sibling of an OFW in Saudi Arabia, was found dead on “January 20, 2013 at 11 o’clock.” “Si Bunso ay nakahandusay at wala ng buhay sa damuhan.. kalat ang gamit, pasa ang mukha. Naghahalong luha, sipon at dugo ang nasilayan namin sa kanyang mukha. Nagpapahiwatig na hindi sa paraang ganun gusto niya mawala sa mundong ito.” The culprit? “tatlong adik na hanggang ngayon malayang nakakagala.” Unlike your Pieta, they didn’t make it to the Inquirer, to ABS-CBN, to the New York Times. Hence, you didn’t shed even a single tear for them.
Ms. Sasot told the Duterte critics that it is time to rally behind the president because he is the only who has the balls to take the bull by the horn so to speak.
We have been at war for a long time.The only difference? We now have a president who has the burat to fight back, who would stake his life, honor, and the presidency in this war, a war that has been waged for a long time and that we have already lost a long time ago.
She reminded them the initial victories scored by the Duterte campaign in the war on drugs.
At least 600,000 shabu addicts and pushers have surrendered.
Tell me, in your best estimate, how much suffering did they cause before they surrendered to the administration that is now fighting back a war long waged by those who let 600,000 happen? And who allowed to let it happen? Tell me. Tell us.
Ms. Sasot ended her post by indirectly lambasting the human rights activists for misplacing their sympathy in favor of the criminals.
Tell your children, your students, our countrymen. Tell us who let the Sinaloa Drug Cartel, the most powerful and violent drug cartel in the world, take root in our country? Tell us who connived with the Chinese and West African Drug cartels? Tell us how our country became like this if indeed “human rights is the soul of our nation”? What kind of nation produces at least 600,000 shabu addicts and pushers? Is it a nation that really cared about the dignity of its people? There’s a war going on. Duterte didn’t start it. He is just fighting back. Hate him all you want. Hate us all you want. But we want our country back. And we will take it back by all means necessary. We don’t want 600,000 casualties of shabu anymore.

How could Filipinos in their right mind critize and hate the President for waging a war against drugs.
All of us should be appalled how inmates in prison could manufacture shabu freely.
All of us young and old should be ashame that we live in a very chaotic country where no one is safe.
And now that there is a man who is willing to stake his life, his honor and his position to wage this war what should we do? Condemn him? Noooooo. We should stand up and help him in whatever we can. Everbody let us him, please.
I JUST WONDER WHERE WAS ABS CBN WHEN ALL THESE CRIME WERE COMMITTED BY THOSE CRIMINALS HIGH ON SHABU. AND YOU’RE RIGHT, WHERE ARE THE HUMAN RIGHTS FIGHTER TO ACCUSE THE CRIMINALS, AT LEAST ON RADIO OR ON TV. WHERE WERE THEY ????
Human Rights groups are founded to protect criminals.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Very well said Ms. Sasot. Human rights are for “HUMANS”.
Reading this, my heart is beating too hard or too fast, I want to shout I want to cry. It is damn correct!!! CHR, Where are you when a lots of babies toddlers raped by the drug addicts?? wala kayong ginawa, nanahimik kayo.ngayon marami na kayong sinasabi kasi may isang Duterte lumalaban para sa kapakanan ng mamamayan.Kapakanan ba ng mga pusher,drug lords mga kreminal ang mas pinapaboran nyo??Paano kung kayo ang magulang ng nabiktima?Ano mararamdaman ninyo??What the heck is going on….ganyan na ba kayo magisip CHR ?? Wala ba kayong mga pamilya na pinoprotektahan sa mga kreminals? or wala kayong pakialam kasi nakatira kayo sa mga subdivisions na todo bantay ang mga guards. puno ng cctv ang mga bahay nyo. at hindi kayo sumasakay sa mga pampublikong sasakyan kaya nd nyo ramdam yung panganib……grrrrrrr!!!! To you Ms.Sasot…you made me cry!! so proud of you kasi totoo lahat ng sinabi mo
indeed true, kindly read for those anti duterte,..if u dont like the president, please have mercy on your child/niece/
cousin/siblings childrens, they will be the one affected if this drug menace will not be solve..Think again who do you think will benefits of the war on drugs that our president is fighting for?? is he alone? no we people of the philippines will benefits the fruits of his labor to go and fight those drugs pusher. The life of our president is now in danger, he is already old enuf to do this for us, he should be leaving peacefully in our province,roaming around our city, but beacause oh his love for our country and his fellow filipino he choose to be in his shoes right now,. we are filipino we all have grand parents, tatay digong is old and already our grand father, have pity on him, we should support him and always pray for his safety, not only the life of those druglords/drug protectors/user and pusher are in danger also our president Digong..wake up people, this is out last chance for us to live on a peaceful country.
Who said that people are against his war on drugs? Everybody wants to get rid of this cancer that has infected almost every corner of the world. But, are they 100% sure that the people who are being killed really the perpetrators? Or are those poor souls being used as sacrificial lambs to put fear in everybody’s heart? Yes, fear is upon the hearts of every person now. But after the dust has settled, let us all pray that the people left standing would the good people of our society and not the big time drug traders.
Casualty of war…
Take that you YELLOW SONS OF BITCHES!!!
RECLAIM OUR COUNTRY
Tell it like it is. Dapat nang kalusin kapag puno na ang salop. The human rights activists fighting Duterte’s war against drugs don’t understand the true sentiment of the country. One addict affects the lives of at least two people. With 600, 000 known surrenderees, try to compound the number of innocent victims crying for justice and human rights activists will know the real condition of the country and the urgency of Duterte’s remedy against it.
To our dear PRRD, thank you! You identified the ROOT CAUSES of all evil acts. It’s about time to execute the remedies/cures to that effect, and everybody will benefit to the EFFECTS. The Phils. is a great nation, let us all build it up.
I think the parents and friends of the 600,000 drug addicts and pushers have to thank President DUTERTE who help change their lives for the better. Instead of relying on the government for help or assistance in their rehabilitation….The parents and friends should take up the responsibility that now their son/daughter/nephew/niece/friend have finally realized they can become a better person with their help!
Ang galing ni Mr Sassot.
How’s your drug status in your very own countries,all UN members?I ask this simple question because there’s a rumor here that ICC,(International Criminal Court courtesy of the opposition party here including CHR and organized crime syndicate groups conspire to bring the same complaints to ICC.It won’t be long for ICC to be the International Cricket Council should it heed such whining report again.Crab,Crying,Conspirators,etc Councils ensue,take your best pick.
Well said: I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT, JUST DO IT!!!
