A major problem is that since many of the police are involved in the drug trade it becomes open season on their adversaries. Same thing happened in Thailand when Thaksin first because prime minister and declared open war on drug dealers. There were 2,500 extra-judicial killings, many of which were retaliation for drug deals gone bad and some just revenge killings of people who weren't even involved in the drug trade. There's bound to be a lot of the same thing in the Philippines.
