This study is a deconstruction of Rodrigo Duterte's implementation of Oplan Tokhang as an attempt to answer the problem regarding illicit drugs in the Philippines through the use of a visual narrative, more specifically comics; the Duterte administration's anti-drug policy does not address the rampant poverty amongst people, which is cited as one of the main motivation o drug addiction. Instead, the government prefers the use of summary executions, claiming success in its body count. the extrajudicial killings as a result of Oplan Tukhang have been rampant; with the documented deaths committed in the hands of police have been with impunity. The relationship of addiction and poverty with its relation to extrajudicial killings of the poor as consequence of the "War on Drugs" will be the primary point of discussion. Poverty and drug addiction has long been prevalent problems for Philippine society; these societal dilemmas have a direct correlation with one another. Economical disadvantage is a major environmental factor that can contribute to the predisposition of a person into substance abuse. Further adding, it should be noted that addiction is actually a brain illness that emerges through the application of two (2) variables: internal (genetics) and external (environmental societal) factors. The approach and concept of the war against drugs is an inherently flawed operational method; it only serves to make the entire drug situation worse, instead of addressing the addicts themselves through comprehensive rehabilitation programs and putting forth policies to alleviate environmental influences such as poverty. Despite the fact of the anti-poor and abusive nature of Oplan Tokhang, a significant number of Filipinos still express approval and support to the concept of Duterte's War on Drugs, and the administration at large.
