President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday signaled openness to a reinvestigation into drug-related killings from the former administration.
Asked about initiating a Department of Justice -led inquiry into extrajudicial killings linked to Duterte administration’s anti-drug campaign, the President said he is awaiting findings from the Philippine National Police before deciding further action. “Right now, that is being done by the PNP. We are waiting for their findings,” Mr. Marcos said.
He emphasized that recent statements, including those from former president Rodrigo Duterte, will be assessed for any potential legal implications. Marcos also noted that families of victims still seek justice, adding the DOJ is responsible for examining all evidence and testimony to determine if it warrants filing new cases.
Duterte recently attended a House Quad Committee hearing over his administration’s “war on drugs” campaign, admitting the use of a reward system for cops who conducted anti-illegal drug operations.PAGASA lifts Signal No. 5 warning as ‘Ofel’ weakens back into typhoon
