It's dubious....yessir. The president Ronaldo Duderte which is shown at left at the very start of the article...said it...he admitted half-wordly even before being elected.
Let me quote the article itself.
"In a campaign speech on April 27 to business leaders, he said his presidency would be "a bloody one", but that he would issue "a thousand pardons a day" to police and soldiers accused of human rights abuses, and would also issue a presidential pardon to himself for mass murder at the end of his six-year term."
He is the head of state (which is a
figurehead for that matter in many places). His speeches are more or less public and diffused to the whole country etc...so he is a figurehead but also a spokeman.
About drugs he said about drugs "Do not do it in my country because I will really kill you. That is a commitment."
He also admitted involvement in Davao Death squads.
Then to quote Benigno Aquino III "Killing a person is against the law. The President has been firm in the belief that no one is above the law. We must not resort to extralegal methods."
Is it that much neglected by authorities? Maybe Debold Sinas may've denied extra-judicial killings, maybe he said he would prosecute them, but answers to those claims vary.

OjuzKiopo, I believe you have mistaken the purpose of the Dubious-Discuss tag. No one is saying that the police are innocent. The tag should only be used to discuss the accuracy of citations and references, not whether or not what the PNP said is true or false. The PNP did deny the allegations of the EJK, that's something that they said hence why it is in the article. If you want to challenge what the police said, you can insert statements and references that you have found. But don't use the Dubious-Discuss tag.

No. The Phillipines' authorities do not deny it. They do not. The more they do is passively not refering to those. I have not found them...it's just contradicting the article. — Preceding

Actually, there are statements from the PNP and authorities denying EJKs. As seen here:
Should keep an eye on sources if the "drug war" officially ends. So far most sources are suggest Marcos would be "continuing" it. On the other hand it seems that there is a policy shift to a campaign that is not different to illegal drug policy of Duterte's predecessors.

Also how should we add information regarding President Marcos' pronounce policy shift? In an aftermath session? I am not sure on how to approach this to be honest.

Requested move 14 August 2022
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: no consensus. Unfortunately, this discussion has stalled despite 3 relists, multiple discussion advertisements elsewhere, and several proposed names. No consensus on any of the proposals has emerged. Indeed, several users have proposed creating other articles in lieu of renaming this one, which further complicates the issue. I would suggest this be revisited in a few months (say, around December/January?) to see if enough has changed to justify a rename. (

Philippine drug war → ? – "Philippine drug war" is not the
WP:COMMONNAME. Sources either describes this campaign as a "war on drugs" or a "drug war" (without the adjective "Philippine", and if they do add a modifier it is "Philippines' "drug war"). Its also occasionally called as "Duterte's Drug War".
Also there is uncertainty on how current President
Bongbong Marcos would approach this campaign so its difficult to determine the end of the "Philippine drug war" since the country has always been launching campaigns against illegal drugs even before Duterte. Though admittedly minus the notoriety of Oplan Tokhang. Marcos is unlikely to explicitly state to end the drug war and announced a policy shift
(PNA)
I suggest renaming this article to (but not limited to):
Also I emphasize that there is no need for this article name to be consistent with the
Bangladesh drug war and the
Mexican drug war.09:51, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
The situation is ambigious. Officially the "war on drugs" is still being pursued by President Marcos' administration but with a shift to rehabilitation and arrests rather than continuing the "Tohkhang" policy. The requested move is to provide a clearer scope on this article - or to provide some sort of stability for the lack of better term.
While the country has this hardline stance against drugs for decades already even before Duterte, the drug war of Duterte in particular has gained international notoriety and significant domestic support.
We don't know yet how Marcos would actually implement his own campaign and the operation is overwhelmingly associated with Duterte.
Also updated the article up to this point in time including President Marcos' decisions on the country's campaign against illegal drugs which would be relevant irregardless of the result of this move request. Rename the relevant section accordingly depending on the result of this request.

Scratch that; forget about "descriptive titles," as the most popular term for the drug war during Duterte's term is
Operation Tokhang. Even
Rappler uses it in its articles. (I used Rappler here as an example, as they are more of an "internationalist" in approach, vs other local media. Notice they used "
Haiyan" instead of "Yolanda", and that they use "drug war" in most article titles, but inevitably inserts "Tokhang" in prose anyway.)

I think that the PNP/PDEA Operation Tokhang or Oplan Tokhang should be a separate article since it is indeed what gained notoriety. Besides, most of this article's contents revolve around that specific operation, while there are barely represented content on the Barangay Drug Clearing program and the PNP's Recovery and Wellness Program, which have been part of Duterte's war on drugs. Perhaps detailed content (such as deaths during raids incidents) pertaining to Oplan Tokhang should be moved on its own article, while this article should summarize Tokhang and include summaries on all past presidencies drug policies/programs. –

Though again. As noted some time ago the "war on drugs" is not limited to Tokhang. So I'm not keen on renaming this article that. Tokhang is part of Oplan Double Barrel along with "Oplan High-Value Target". Double Barrel don't include the socioeconomic component of the war on drugs.
Most people associate "Tokhang" with the drug operations of the Duterte administration, even such operations formally did not happen under the "Oplan Tokhang" name. AFAIK, Oplan Double Barrel came after Tokhang but people would stare you blankly if you tell them about "Oplan Double Barrel".
