Long road to justice
THE dismissal by a Muntinlupa City court of all the remaining drug charges against former senator Leila de Lima last week and the conviction of four police officers earlier this month for the killing of a father and son during the bloody war on illegal drugs raise serious questions on how justice was pursued in former president Rodrigo Duterte's administration.In February 2017, the Department of Justice, then under Vitaliano Aguirre II, filed three separate drug cases against de Lima.
How he answers these questions may well address the suspicion among some quarters that the previous administration may have filed criminal cases to harass and silence its political enemies.Meanwhile, we welcome the conviction of four police officers who killed a father and son during the Duterte administration's war on drugs. Luis and Gabriel Bonifacio were 45 and 18, respectively, when police barged into their home on Sept.
