President order . Military kill 6000 people over drugs possesion

The death toll from Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs is about to hit the 6000 mark, just five months after he took office.

"You can expect 20,000 or 30,000 more," Mr Duterte told reporters in October. To the majority who voted for him, the 71-year-old is simply honouring his election promise to dump the bodies of "100,000 (drug dealers and users) in Manila Bay".
