MANILA, Philippines — DFA Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano once again slammed New York-based Human Rights Watch for "politicizing" the Duterte administration's so-called war on drugs. Cayetano accused the international human rights watchdog of skewing numbers following its report that there are more than 12,000 victims of the anti-drug campaign. "It is about time Human Rights Watch stops politicizing the war we are waging against illegal drugs at the expense of the Philippines and the Filipino people," Cayetano said in a statement released Friday. On Tuesday, the international human rights watchdog said that Cayetano's accusations against them were a distraction strategy.
