The most infamous of course was Station 6 in Batasan, Quezon City. Thanks to the Reuters report of 2017, the name Davao Boys became synonymous with the killing orgies done by police at the height of Rodrigo Duterte’s so-called war on drugs.
After getting killed extrajudicially in Rodrigo Duterte’s so-called “war on drugs,” many of the dead were buried in “apartment graves” that had to be leased only temporarily.
Low-level peddlers, however, still make up the bulk of those killed in the drug war.
Families of the victims of the “drug war” are pushing for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to forge ahead with its investigation of the bloody campaign as they see no hope in getting justice even under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos.

The government has suffered another setback in its effort to stop the investigation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on drug-related crimes during the Duterte administration as an office of public lawyers in the tribunal shot down all the arguments it presented.

On March 29, Sen. Francis Tolentino said he had “accepted the proposal” to be counsel of his colleague, Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The government wants to refute the arguments made by International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan last week in pressing to continue its investigation into alleged crimes against humanity under the Duterte administration’s “war on drugs.”
Perhaps Duterte's defenders are well aware that it would be difficult to win the battle with the ICC legally, so they are trying to win over the public by engaging in disinformation and discrediting the ICC.
