Dead or alive: Is the Philippines' war on drugs out of control?

   New Filipino president Rodrigo Duterte campaigned hard on a no-nonsense approach to crime -     and now the full impact of what exactly this means for those on the streets is emerging.
Shocking photographs published in local and international media show suspected drug dealers -- the front line on his war against drugs -- often bound hand and foot, shirts soaked in blood, their faces sometimes covered in duct tape, wearing crude signs proclaiming their alleged crimes. Murdered in the streets or in ramshackle, crowded rooms.And no one can say they weren't warned.
