SA aking aklat “KILL KILL KILL Extrajudicial Killings in the Philippines; Crimes Against Humanity v. Rodrigo Duterte Et. Al.,” aking iginiit na naging polisiya ng gobyerno na patayin ng walang maayos na proseso sa batas ang mga pinaghinalaang adik at tulak sa droga. Inalis ni Duterte ang kanilang pagkakaiba sa ilalim ng batas. Basta pinatay sila na parang mga hayop. Ipinapatay sila mismo ng estado at nabawale wala ang mga batas kontra droga. Halaw:
STATE-SPONSORED CAMPAIGN
EVEN at the start of his presidency, Rodrigo Duterte was bent to pursue the war on drugs. In his June 30, 2016 inaugural address, which he immediately delivered after he was sworn into office, Duterte could not help but deliver conflicting statements. He proclaimed that, as a lawyer and former state prosecutor, he knew the extent of the presidential power and authority and that he knew what was legal and right. It was a statement that was met by thunderous applause. It was a statement that was later used against him by the international community of uncompromising human rights advocates. He said:
“My adherence to due process and the rule of law is uncompromising.”
In the early part of his inaugural address, he indicated that he would pursue a bloody war on drugs, using illegal means, which might include extrajudicial killings, or summary executions devoid of the legal processes. Little did the world know he would resort to the combined use of the Philippine National Police (PNP) as an institution and unnamed vigilante groups in his war on illegal drugs. Duterte had the gall to warn the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), the constitutional body tasked to protect every citizen from every conceivable human rights abuse and ensure the compliance of the Philippines on international pacts on human rights, asking it to get out of his way in his pursuit of the war on drugs. It was a statement that directly contradicted his purported adherence to the rule of law and its flipside – due processes. Sounding defensive but impetuous and imperious, by all means, Duterte declared:
“There are those who do not approve of my methods of fighting criminality, the sale and use of illegal drugs and corruption. They say that my methods are unorthodox and verge on the illegal. In response, let me say this: I have seen how corruption bled the government of funds, which were allocated for the use in uplifting the poor from the mire that they are in. I have seen how illegal drugs destroyed individuals and ruined family relationships. I have seen how criminality, by means all foul, snatched from the innocent and the unsuspecting, the years and years of accumulated savings. Years of toil and then, suddenly, they are back to where they started. Look at this from that perspective and tell me that I am wrong.”
The coup de grace:
“In this fight, I ask Congress and the Commission on Human Rights and all others who are similarly situated to allow us a level of governance that is consistent [with] our mandate. The fight will be relentless and it will be sustained.”

MADADAMAY talaga si Bato dela Rosa sa mga opisyales ni Gongdi sa masusing pagsisiyasat ng ICC. Si Bato ang lumagda ng pangunahing katibayan na ginamit ni Gongdi ang PNP bilang kasangkapan sa maramihang patayan. Halaw:
‘PROJECT DOUBLE BARREL’: THE LEGALIZATION OF EJKS
DUTERTE’S war on drugs officially started on July 1, 2016, or the day after Duterte was sworn in as president. Gen. Ronald dela Rosa, whom Duterte named director-general of the Philippine National Police (PNP), issued Command Memorandum Circular 16-2016 (or CMC), which specified the general guidelines, procedures, and tasks of police offices, units, and stations in the conduct of the anti-illegal drugs campaign plan under the “Project Double Barrel.” This was an elaborate project brandished by the PNP leadership as supportive of “the barangay clearing strategy of the government and the neutralization of illegal drug personalities nationwide.” It immediately went full swing.
In the statement of its purpose, the CMC used the word “neutralization” of the people engaged in drug trade as its main objective. This is noticeable because, in police parlance, “neutralization” means killing or, at the very least, maiming social offenders …
Saying the CMC would be launched and implemented on the first day of office of Ronald dela Rosa as the PNP chief, all police offices and units were enjoined to conduct massive and simultaneous operations to generate impact and public support. Project Double Barrel has two components: “Project Tokhang” and “Project High Value Targets.” Project Tokhang is the lower barrel approach, which is launched in all drug-affected barangays nationwide in coordination with the local government units (LGUs) particularly in their anti-drug abuse councils (ADACs), nongovernment organizations (NG0s), stakeholders, and other law enforcement agencies. The Project Tokhang is described as “a practical and realistic means of accelerating the drive against illegal drugs in affected barangays. This concept involves the conduct of house to house visitations to persuade suspected illegal drug personalities to stop their illegal drug activities.”17
Project Tokhang has five stages: first stage, collection and validation of information; second stage, coordination; third stage, house to house visitation; fourth stage, processing and documentation; and fifth stage, the monitoring and evaluation. The CMC said: “The collection and validation of information would be conducted in the first week of the first month of the President’s term. All local police offices, units, stations and anti-illegal drugs units shall conduct validation to acquire specific information on suspected drug users and pushers in every affected barangays. The identity and criminal activities of each target must be properly documented and verified with all possible sources to equip the team with accurate and solid proofs when confronting suspects during house to house visitations.” How the collection and validation of information went on Duterte’s first week of the first month of his presidential term of office went was not known. There was no report whatsoever. The CMC said:
“THE coordination shall be made with the following government agencies, stakeholders, and non-government organizations prior to the conduct of actual house to house visitations to ensure success of the activity. All concerned local police offices, units, and stations would coordinate with the LGUs to provide support for the activity and ensure compliance of subordinate offices. The house to house visitation stage of suspected drug personalities would highlight Project Tokhang. The processing and documentation stage has the following components: first, all suspected drug personalities who shall voluntarily surrender shall be required to fill-out a voluntary surrender form; second, persons, who voluntarily surrendered shall be urged to subscribe under oath before a notary public, to be assisted by a counsel and witnessed by parents/guardians and/or barangay officials; all suspected drug personalities who shall voluntarily surrender themselves to the visiting team shall be referred/invited to the local police station for interview, documentation, and other alternative actions. Provided that they execute undertakings to cooperate by giving voluntary information regarding illegal drug activities; all suspected drug personalities who shall surrender any dangerous drugs or its derivatives and drug paraphernalia shall be processed accordingly. Provided that they execute undertakings to give voluntary information about any violations of specific provisions of RA 9165 as stated under Section 33.”
