On June 5, 2017, then-senator Antonio Trillanes IV and then-congressman Gary Alejano of the Magdalo party list submitted the first supplemental communication, entitled “Digong, The Grave Digger: A Look Into the Philippine President’s Bloody War on Drugs.” De Lima gave the best possible panoramic view of the Duterte drug war by presenting several facets not mentioned by the two previous communications. The first part, Duterte’s Drug War, begins with the Parojinog Raid in Ozamiz City on July 30, 2017. We all know what happened, that then-mayor Reynaldo Parojinog and his family were shot dead by raiding police “because they fought back” and hence there was a firefight.

De Lima then narrates the so-called Davao Group that shipped P6.4-billion worth of shabu through the Port of Manila using layers of grease money paid to the Bureau of Customs and private brokers. This is now part of the investigations currently being conducted at the House of Representatives.

Then she segues to the celebrated case of Kian de los Santos, narrating his murder by police and then the public outcry it sparked. Here De Lima narrates one of the most peculiar damage controls Duterte maneuvered, using the help of a state agency within its criminal justice system.Immediately, his administration started the damage control by appearing to champion the dead boy and his family.
