Copycat drug campaign
Should Bangladesh copy Philippines’ anti-drug campaign?
First of all, I do not agree with our style of anti-drug campaign. Are we in fact succeeding? No, I don’t think so. The campaign only takes down the branches, not the root of the problem.
Each country has it owns need. Each country is unique. Research is essential to solve a problem. – HOWARD VILLOSO, 23, student
Agree ako pero dapat siguraduhon nila nga addict gid man na napamatay nila. Kay ang isa ka addict gapamatay man, so dapat amo man na ubrahon sa ila eh. An eye for an eye dapat sa mga notorious nga addict. Hindi pwede mercy. – PAULETTE GOLEZ, 48, virtual assistant
No, I don’t agree. No matter how grave a person’s sins are, we are in no position to kill him/her.
How can we expect erring people to change if they are dead already? – DIANA GRACE BARCEBAS, 21, call center agent
Ako wala ga-agree sang anti-drug campaign even diri sa Pilipinas kay ka inhumane sang ila nga methods. Bal-an ko man nga ang mga napanghimo sang mga pushers nga ‘ni are inhumane man towards sa mga victims pero the thing is some things cannot be resolved with a bullet or violence. – KEITH CLARENZ TERNE, 21, student

Farming Boracay
Should the entire Boracay be placed under land reform?
IT ‘S a good idea – the equitable distribution of agricultural land. But the government must also think about how it can affect the thriving tourism business there. – JASON ANTIOLA, 20, fresh graduate
No, I don’t agree. My family there runs a business which supports my education. Although small-scale business lang siya, dako gid nga epekto sa amon because dira kami gasalig sang amon pang-tuition and damo kami nga ginabuligan nila.
There is a big possibility nga some of us indi na makaeskwela tungod dira. – KAREN TULIO, 17, student, Iloilo City
I agree. I believe the reason of our President is to improve the beauty of Boracay.
Change is coming. Let us believe in his power and capacity to change and improve this matter. – ROLAND GANZON, 18, student, John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University
I beg to disagree. Boracay Island is one of the world’s top tourist destinations. A lot of people will lose their jobs and businesses displaced.
Placing Boracay under land reform is not a good idea. – FRANCES CELIS, 22, customer service representative, Teletech
