Relatives of victims of extrajudicial killings (EJKs) under former president Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs brought flowers at the Dambana ng Paghilom in the La Loma Cemetery.

The Dambana ng Paghilom is a memorial site for EJK victims even as relatives and friends continue to seek justice for them.

The Libingan ng mga Bayani, on the other hand, is the cemetery  for Philippine presidents, national heroes, patriots, National Artists and National Scientists.
