The Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has gained quite a reputation inboth national and international sphere due to his controversial war againstdrugs. Accordingly, this article aims to determine the media frames used inreporting the issue. By employing mainly content analysis, three Philippinenational newspapers (namely, Manila Bulletin, Philippine Daily Inquirer,and The Philippine Star) are analyzed to observe the repeating media framesand the depictions of actors involved in the drug war. It is revealed thatthe Law and Order, Crime and Justice Frame, Security and Defense frame,Conflict frame, and Responsibility frame are mainly used by the three newspapers.The study also reveals that media narration of the anti-drug campaignis rather neutral in tone and there is no observable extreme manipulationof stories favoring one group over another.
