    Environment, human rights converge in group show

    By Elizabeth Lolarga  |  Mar 01, 2022 8:00 PM

It is also in parts an indictment of the violent nature of the Duterte Presidency. This fading regime has spawned extra-judicial killings (EJKs) and red-tagging during its brutal war on drugs and insurgency.
