Duterte slams anew groups spreading fake news about war on illegal drugs 385 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Genalyn KabilingPresident Duterte has slammed anew groups spreading fake news about his drug war, including the controversial Pietà-like photo of slain drug suspect being cradled by a woman. The photo, which claimed Siaron was shot dead by an unidentified gunman in July, triggered widespread debate on the cost of Duterte’s brutal war on drugs. “The relentless attribution of such killings to police operations was both premature and unfair to law-abiding enforcement officers who risk life and limb to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs in our society,” Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said last week.
