This incident shows that the drug problem in the philippines is serious.
On 21st may, 5 participants have died at the outdoors music festival held at a mall of Asia (MOA), in a Pasai city. This incident proved that drug culture, which also gets illicit drug easily at a public place stand out, permeated through Philippine.
Then why has such a case happened? I think that it is caused by the fact that security precaution at the time was too loose. The organizer of the festival said, “A prevention measure and as the strict guard was taken.” However, a guard isn’t arranged in the place, and a participant was uncontrolled condition. In other words, they just told the name, the age and a mail address by a reception desk and didn’t need presentation of a status proof certificate. Therefore a minor could enter easily.
It was also possible to hide a drug and a drink in the clothes because only the bag they held in their hand was checked. Therefore, even a minor easily obtained a drug and was able to bring it into the festival place.
Here is an idea that a regulation by police officer should be revised so that they can control a private event. However, there is a problem. It is that whether we can use authorities though it is a private event. we may spoil the pleasure of general people if we use authorities for a private event. Therefore without having to perform the use of authorities carefully, and being able to perform the regulation properly.
