Human Rights Watch on Saturday called on the Marcos administration to initiate reforms in the police force amid the recent exposés during congressional hearings on the war on drugs of the previous regime.In a statement, HRW urged “sweeping reforms” in law enforcement due to allegations of police corruption and abuse uncovered in recent probes of the four committees of the House of Representatives.

Duterte insisted that he never ordered the police force to kill anyone. “Hindi ko sinasabi na sinadya kong pinatay .

Totoo ‘yan ,” the former chief executive said.
