What is the 'war on drugs' in the Philippines that everyone's talking about?

As of the beginning of 2017, more than 7,000 people have been killed since President Duterte launched his 'war' on drugs last year, according to Human rights group Amnesty International.

The controversial campaign was aimed at wiping out the drug trade in the Philippines, but has resulted in a huge number of deaths.

Amnesty have also accused Philippine police of planning extrajudicial killings.

According to the group, officers have planted evidence and falsified reports, receiving "financial incentives" for the killings and a payment for each death.

Some 32 people were killed last Tuesday alone in drug raids, believed to be the highest death toll in a day under the campaign.

President Duterte praised the crackdown, saying that if the country "could kill another 32 every day, then maybe we can reduce what ails this country."

He has previously said that he was "happy to slaughter" drug users and dismissed the death of children as "collateral damage."

On Delos Santos' death, he said he was in support of the investigation, adding that he saw the CCTV footage of the incident.

"Should the investigation point to liabilities...there will be a prosecution and they have to go to jail if convicted," he said.
