Aren't those things exactly what China wants? If yes, do you think China is behind all this?
All the artificial islands in South China Sea aren't as good as 2 naval bases in the Philippines for China.

If he needs to kill people so much that are involved in drugs why not start with the corrupt police officers that keep the business alive instead of the users?
Duterte never actually said that civilians should take vigilante action against drug dealers. In a speech to top level police officials he stated that suspected drug dealers should be arrested and processed through normal judicial channels and incarcerated if found guilty. He did say that if suspected offenders resisted with weapons the police had every right to defend themselves with deadly force if necessary.
Still it may be possible that some rogue policemen took justice into their own hands. You have to remember that there are many cartel type drug rings operating throughout the Philippines and some of the killings may have been drug dealers protecting their territory from other drug dealers just like what has been seen in places like Columbia and Mexico.
