 MANILA, Philippines – The bodies of suspected drug personalities are continuously piling up as the war on drugs by the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte intensifies. </div>
<div class="p1">
As of Tuesday, August 30, 895 drug suspects have been killed in legitimate operations under the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) Double Barrel, data from the PNP show. </div>
<div class="p1">
Latest <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">PNP</a>  data as of August 22, meanwhile, show that over 1,160 have been killed  outside police operations. This brings the total number of drug-related  deaths to at least 2,055.</div>
<div class="p1">
Meanwhile, 12,923 individuals have been arrested and 626,556 voluntarily surrendered within the same period. </div>
<div class="p1">
Critics, however, say Duterte’s <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">anti-illegal drugs campaign</a> has yet to go all-out after the high-profile drug personalities – also the ones overseeing the drug trade in the country.</div>
<div class="p1">
According to data from the <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">PNP</a>,  as of August 22, 32 high-value targets (HTVs) and 34 local chief  executives (LCEs) have been arrested. Some of these drug lords, however,  have been given the chance to explain and undergo due process, while  small fry – small-time drug users and pushers – were either killed or  put behind bars, critics pointed out.</div>
<div class="p1">
An instance of this was when individuals allegedly linked to the drug trade in the <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">list</a> Duterte read out were asked to “clear” their names. Not all were fortunate.  </div>

Rappler lists alleged drug lords killed – during  legitimate operations or otherwise – under the Duterte administration  starting July 1. This <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">list</a> will be constantly updated as the <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">war on drugs</a> continues:</div>

Businessman Melvin “Boyet” Odicta Sr and his wife Merriam Regalado Odicta were <a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/144483-alleged-top-iloilo-drug-lord-wife-killed-aklan" target="_blank">killed by an unidentified gunman</a> after disembarking from a passenger ship in Barangay Caticlan, Malay, Aklan on August 29.</div>
<div class="p1">
A suspected drug lord in Iloilo City involved in drug trafficking, Odicta Sr is part of the watch <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">list</a> of drug personalities of the <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency</a> (<a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">PDEA</a>).

<div class="p1">
Their death came barely a week after the couple  surrendered to Local Government Secretary Ismael “Mike” Sueno on August  25 to “clear their names.” <a href="http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/144659-war-on-drugs-suspected-drug-lords-killed-duterte-administration-list#">PNP</a> chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa, however, said he did receive surrender feelers from the couple.</div>
<div class="p2">
Duterte said that the death of the Odictas was no surprise, stating that Melvin Odicta was “<a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/144540-duterte-odicta-iloilo-drug-lord" target="_blank">really being hunted</a>.”  Western Visayas regional director Chief Superintendent Jose Gentiles  further said that the “protectors or big-time associates” of Odicta Sr  were behind the killings since "both disclosed something when they  visited [Sueno].”</div>
