Another option that the government could take use is the decriminalisation of drugs. From the article, 'Decriminalization or Death: Portugal's Drug Policy vs. Philippines', it was mentioned that in Portugal, in 2015, "they had the lowest drug-induced death rate in western Europe: 10 times lower than the UK and 50 times lower than US. The number of active heroin addicts has dropped from 100,000 In 2001, to fewer than 25,0000 today." (VICE, n.d.), decriminalisation is really working well for the Portugal.
In my opinion, using decriminalisation in the Philippines might not work since there are a lot of people in the Philippines who are using and dealing illegal drugs are stubborn, they do not follow the governments instructions. A possible reason is, drug price in the Philippines became lower, therefore, it became affordable to the people. "PDEA earlier claimed that the price of shabu (meth) per gram has dropped from 6,800 peso ($192.83 NZD) to 1,400 peso ($39.70 NZD) at present."(Talabong, 2018).
