All elected officials, except those in the barangays have now completed one year in office. The President is expected to deliver his State of the Nation Address and as surely as tomorrow will come (unless Divine Providence intervenes) he will be telling the nation all the good things, the successes, that he had achieved.
Strong in this area will be his campaign against illegal drugs. If we measure this campaign in terms of the number of users, pushers and protectors exterminated, he has mainly succeeded. If we take it in terms of the guilty and innocents lives that paid for this “success” then he is a total failure.
