Sounds like Duterte is winning war on drugs?

I was never offered drugs in the Philippines (except for Viagra) before Duterte was president either though there was (and still is) plenty available. He is not winning the war on drugs. The only thing that happened is that lots of low level drug pushers and poor drug users got killed and a couple of mayors that were allegedly involved in drugs. He is not going after the real problem, lots of well known high level people are involved in drugs that he could easily put in jail if he wanted, but instead he puts his opponents in jail by making up stories that the are involved in drugs...
That being said, some things are changing for the better. The country does need change and he is doing an ok job on some other things unlike most of the previous presidents.
