MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Friday reiterated that the findings of the investigation of the questionable killings of drug suspects in connection with President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs would be released to the public in due time. ADVERTISEMENT“I encourage [the] publication of the panel’s findings so its work can be evaluated,” Bachelet said. Guevarra said Duterte had already approved the release of the review of his bloody anti-drug campaign being conducted by a panel headed by the Department of Justice (DOJ). “The government has no intention of keeping its review and investigation of the anti-illegal drug campaign secret as this matter is openly reported to the people as the process goes along,” Guevarra said in a Viber message. The National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL), whose members were representing some of the drug war victims, welcomed Bachelet’s latest statement.
