ISRAEL is willing to work with the Philippine government in its campaign to rid the country of what it has termed as a widespread drug menace that is affecting millions of Filipinos.
Israel Ambassador Effie Ben Matityau said no country is spared of the illegal-drugs problem and that they are willing to cooperate and share their know-how in handling the issue with the administration of President Duterte.
“The illegal-drugs trade is global.  It is an industry that is present and being distributed worldwide. It is a constant struggle against its supply and infrastructure.  We are willing to share information and best practices. We can all learn from one another,” Matityau said.
He added: “Socially and economically, illegal drugs combine to make a disaster.  It is a major destabilizer of society.  It can destroy families.”

Matityau even said in the Middle East, the spread of illegal drugs can even be directly related to terrorist groups.
However, Matityau said the problem of illegal drugs differs from one country to another and that there is no singular solution to the menace.
“The nature of illegal drugs varies in every country.  You cannot copy what is being done in another country but you can learn elements, methodology and techniques from them,” he said.
Matityau said the best solution toward controlling the illegal-drugs problem is through education, as he believes it can act as a preventive measure in its use spread.
He also said to reduce the number of drug users, there has to be a deep level of cooperation between the government and non-governmental organizations.
Still, Matityau said they are able to control the drug menace from spreading in their country through good police work.
“We are a small society of just 8 million people. It is not a major epidemic. Still, law-enforcement operation is vital and gathering of intelligence is a serious issue,” he said, while adding that in principle they do not have a death penalty in their country even for terrorists.
According to Matityau, the youth in Israel are the most vulnerable to the drug menace.
“They young are very impressionable young people.  It is not a major percentage but it can get serious from time-to-time,” he said.
After drawing the anger of the international Jewish community, President Duterte has apologized for drawing a parallel to how Adolf Hitler massacred 6 million Jews during World War II and his plans to kill 3 million Filipinos who use or are involved in illegal drugs.

Just drop me a line!

Just drop me a line!

OPINION In My OpinioNIN MY OPINIONKlaus Doring
“Drop me a line while you’re away” has been one of the most listened to phrases in my life. Yes, I confess, I’ve been always a restless contemporary, who needed to go “somewhere out there” after a couple of days spending with a computer. And, NO LAPTOP, if I am taking my time out. Amazing for many, but it’s really true! Living hidden away – but just to finish some more write ups – has been always okay. But then, I need to go out again and meet people.
When the MINDANAO DAILY MIRROR is hitting the roads, I’ll be staying in Manila for almost a week. I am looking forward to several events and meetings. Celebrating the German National Day of Unity (October 3) in Manila with several diplomatic people is an old annual tradition and a chance to talk with important people about everything under the sun.
Talking about the sun: my problem before –  if somewhere has been very beautiful, my impulse to live there permanently let me quite a to-do about it.
Once upon a time: vacation in Italy. I even enjoyed the nasty weather and decided to stay here for good. I loved (and still love) the Italian language, the Italian pasta, the landscaping, which is really beautiful. One can enjoy real blooming lemon trees.
Vacation in Scandinavia. At that time, I was pretty sure, that this should be my future place, clean air, no pollution, and heaven’s width, mountains and dream lakes.
Vacation in France, and, I knew I couldn’t survive any more without blooming lavender fields, secluded  valleys  and castles nearly falling into ruins. Here, I’ll keep animals for breeding and enjoy my red wine while writing the long awaited book entitled “My Way”. Mmmh, no way…. I am not yet finished.
New York, and, I really enjoyed everything without respite: life, different languages, different people, great variety, explicit restaurants, malls, and a breathtaking view of life and always-new ideas of incredible lifestyle. Let’s rent an apartment in Manhattan and let’s all forget the pendants, sticklers and small-time fellows. Sure, it’s not cheap, but many a mickle makes a muckle….
Yes, I am really blessed having been in many countries around the globe. But guys, I also found out that life isn’t content with dreams only. Reality meant moving up to almost 20-times, the last with  several containers via Singapore to Davao City.
Now I stay here for good and you can tell me anything. I am happy. Just from time to time I still need a lonely island beach and the ocean.
Drop me a line, while you’re away. Yes, sure! Many times I have forgotten to do so. Before  as a globe trotter, and even  now,  as an expatriate living in the Philippines for good…..
