Sometimes they are music festivals — like the Close Up Forever Summer open-air concert just about a year ago that ended with 5 concert-goers dead from drug overdose. Not only is it far away from Manila — the focal point of the drug war — but it also spans days, this carefree, booze-fueled partying. These dealers are different from the ones in the news. They are not the ones who end up on the streets, packing tape over their mouths, corpses ogled by curious neighbors. They are the ones who sell only the top stuff. Cocaine, which induces a short-lived, intense high. Ecstasy, which causes a euphoric rush and affectionate behavior. And these dealers sell to those just like them — students in private universities, young professionals who earn a good living, and somethings from moneyed families. Few partygoers, especially under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, will risk smuggling drugs to the islands themselves. So the dangerous task lies on the dealers, who will have to find ways to get them to the island. Security is light compared to airports. When Duterte officially became president in July , he launched a controversial and bloody war on drugs that has seen a total of 7, killings as of April 23 — a combination of deaths from police operations and vigilante-style or unexplained killings. Reports about arrests or deaths of wealthier individuals are rare. Lim was said to push drugs at high-end clubs and bars in Makati and Bonifacio Global City. She was out on bail for drug-related charges. Her death sent shockwaves among the rich, who previously felt untouchable. He said a few dealers he knew did stop selling when the drug war started, with some Filipino American dealers even returning to the United States. But he said the effect wore off soon enough. Most dealers kept a low profile for a short time, then started selling again — although like him, more carefully. But a month or two after, all the tablets and capsules were back out. The suspension was triggered by the death of a Korean businessman, brutally murdered by corrupt policemen who used anti-drug operations as cover to extort from the victim. The source also said that obtaining the drugs to sell has become more difficult under Duterte, so when dealers are able to get drugs, they are able to mark up prices. Valium, a sedative, is popular among students and young professionals, who mix it with alcohol to increase its calming effect. Drug users from the middle- to upper-class whom Rappler spoke to, corroborated the prices and the information the dealer disclosed. They also agreed that the frequency of their drug use did not decrease, although what has changed is where and how they use it. If users previously took blow in bathrooms of clubs for instance, they now take it at home instead, or in cars, before stepping out. They are also likely to take it on trips outside Manila, where drug operations are far less common. Across the board, all felt that the focus of the drug war has been on the poor. They agreed that while users in their circles are more cautious about buying, when drugs are there and available, users will still take it. Especially when the killings were happening. Before Duterte, you could get it every day. Now people are more careful. They hide it more and they no longer go all together at the same time to the bathroom. Still another user, a young professional who regularly uses marijuana and cocaine, said the drug war made it harder to get drugs but it did little to discourage their use. And dealers of cocaine are still dealers. The PNP insists it does not discriminate in the drug war, and said it goes after cocaine, ecstasy, and other drugs as much as it does shabu. Like shabu, cocaine and ecstasy are stimulants, addictive, and over time, can cause irreversible damage to the brain. Data from the PDEA annual report says that shabu is indeed the most abused drug with The data is based mostly on its drug-related arrests, PDEA said. But while shabu is the choice of the poor, PDEA numbers could be skewed if they are based on arrests because the traditionally rich users of cocaine or ecstasy often evade arrest. The rise in prices of the drugs also hints at what the focus of the police is. The latest data also indicates that ecstasy is now cheaper than cocaine, and that the maximum price for shabu is now higher than ecstasy and cocaine. There was one time people would make it in Bacolod. But now, I get it from the black market. And directly. The roro to Boracay island for example, has 3 ports: Batangas, Mindoro, and Caticlan. Just last month, in March, the dealer had a close call when someone he said he did not know dropped his name to the cops, and tagged him as a drug pusher. A bar he frequented was under surveillance, he said, but he found out beforehand and made sure to keep his pills at home. Corruption is still here. The dealer said he has heard of at least two other dealers in their 20s who were raided and who were killed by police in their apartments in BGC, news of which never made it to media, perhaps because the police were paid to stay silent, he said. He also said that for the rich, dealers get caught mostly because someone squeals. With some cash, connections and some favors, dealers of the wealthy stay largely protected, resources the poor do not have access to. He currently has pills of ecstasy under his possession, and is set for pay day over the Labor Day weekend. Please abide by Rappler's commenting guidelines. There are no comments yet.
