    VERA FILES FACT SHEET: Disparity in body count of drug war victims explained

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 13, 2022 2:32 PM

    The Marcos administration has revamped the government’s anti-drug campaign in a bid to focus on demand reduction and rehabilitation of users, as opposed to the all-out war that led to the death of thousands of Filipinos in the Duterte administration’s war on drugs.

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 13, 2022 2:32 PM

    Binago ng administrasyong Marcos ang kampanya laban sa droga ng gobyerno para pagtuunan ng pansin ang pagbabawas ng demand at rehabilitasyon ng mga user, taliwas sa all-out war na humantong sa pagkamatay ng libu-libong Pilipino sa war on drugs ng administrasyong Duterte.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Bato Dela Rosa’s shifting stance on ‘punishment’ for drug users

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 05, 2022 11:20 AM

    In a span of four years, Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa went from supporting the death penalty for all illegal drug offenders as director-general of the Bureau of Corrections to proposing rehabilitation for users. Now, the former Philippine National Police chief says he has “second thoughts” about his own measure.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Ang nagbabagong paninindigan ni Bato Dela Rosa sa ‘parusa’ sa mga gumagamit ng droga

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 05, 2022 11:20 AM

    Sa loob ng apat na taon, nagbago ang pananaw ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa tungkol sa pagtrato sa mga illegal drug offender. Bilang director-general ng Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), sinuportahan niya ang parusang kamatayan para sa lahat ng mga nagkasala kaugnay ng ilegal na droga hanggang kanyang iminungkahi ang rehabilitasyon para sa mga gumagamit. Ngayon, sinabi ng dating Philippine National Police (PNP) chief na “nagdadalawang isip” siya tungkol sa sarili niyang panukala.
