Expletives and threats unleashed by former President Rodrigo Duterte in a Senate inquiry brought back the nightmare of the bloody 'war on drugs' for many in Philippines.
The cockiness, expletives and threats unleashed by former President Rodrigo Duterte in a Senate inquiry brought back the nightmare of the bloody “war on drugs” for many families of the thousands of victims who were gunned down under his rule. Speaking under oath in Monday's televised hearing into the killings, a defiantly combative Duterte returned to the national spotlight for the first time since leaving office in 2022 with little show of remorse. He got away with it again, critics say.
Marcos had retorted that Duterte was a user of fentanyl, a painkiller and powerful opioid. With Duterte appearing frail and misstating his age as 73 at one point, the daylong Senate hearing also served as the latest reality check on the political restraints that he and his family face after he relinquished his grip on power.
