It is the most shameful, and so far most sickening, of Monsod’s string of Duterte-demonizing pieces. If it did, I don’t think its most efficient head, Martin Andanar, would have lasted this long in his post. He added the PNP’s 2,550 figure of “drug personalities killed in police operations” to the 4,525 cases of “deaths under investigation or investigation concluded.” Voila: 7,080 EJKs. And in the first place, how could Rappler even assume that all of the 2,550 “drug personalities killed” were executed unarmed, that none tried to fight back? Monsod added the 3,967 “drug personalities who died in anti-drug operations” at the end of November 2017 to the 16,365 cases of homicide in the entire country.
