As the new Philippines government takes an uncompromising line on crime, will it finally end rampant gun violence?
In 2014, 101 East went to investigate gun culture in the Philippines, where love for firearms is not restricted to the country's most crime-ridden neighbourhoods.
In "Stray Bullets", the question at the time was whether recently introduced guns laws were going to put an end to the gun violence then plaguing the Philippines.
As REWIND discovers, it is an issue that current events have made just as relevant today - with a new Philippines government taking an uncompromising line on crime.
Steve Chao returned to Manila to see what has changed since the documentary was made, and especially since President Rodrigo Duterte came to power. He talks to Jose Manuel Diokno, a human rights lawyer, about Duterte's war on drugs and its effect on gun violence.
