    By Ivel John M. Santos  |  Jul 21, 2023 7:22 PM

    If the Philippine government refuses to cooperate with an international inquiry of the bloody “Tokhang” operations during the Duterte administration, then it should undertake an investigation of the alleged role of former president Rodrigo Duterte to show it is not protecting perpetrators of crimes against humanity and other atrocities.

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  May 08, 2023 11:30 AM
