Episode description
Over the weekend, the Philippine Department of Justice announced that more than 150 police officers could be held criminally liable over abuses in the government’s drug war.
But these officers tagged in a total of 52 cases will still be investigated presumably by the National Bureau of Investigation.
When the investigation would be completed and whether charges would be filed — and whether cases would lead to convictions — all still remain to be seen.
In this episode we talk about these pending investigations — more than five years since President Duterte unleashed his brutal crack down.
