ICYMI: “I think like any other government program, we cannot claim to be perfect. Pero ang sinasabi natin, ‘wag naman ‘yong gawain ng ilang mga bugok e maapektuhan ‘yong buong programa,” Roque said.
“At saka itong decision ng ating DOJ nagpapatunay nga po na ginagampanan natin ‘yong ating obligasyon bilang estado, na kapag meron pong napatay, eh iimbestigahan, lilitisin, at paparusahan ang mga pumapatay,” he added.
“So nothing is perfect, and itong findings ng DOJ prove that the Philippines nga po is undertaking and performing its obligations in so far as the right to life is concerned,” he noted.

Of this number, 52 cases were probed by DOJ.According to human rights organization who awaited the DOJ probe, officers involved in the drug war deaths were meted with light punishments or eve when there was clear evidence of abuse of power, they were absolved of any responsibility.
