Opposition Senator Leila de Lima, a detained critic of Mr Duterte, challenged the president to order the police to stop killing. "You had no choice but to confront his death because his narrative was compelling," she said of Delos Santos. Senator Paulo Benigno Aquino said that without the CCTV footage, the case of Delos Santos would have gained no attention. He said Mr Duterte should stop the killings and strengthen the judiciary, education, law enforcement and rehabilitation. Previous article: Philippine churches to ring bells to protest drug killings
