(Bullit Marquez, File/Associated Press)MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Commission on Human Rights on Thursday condemned the killing of a 3-year-old girl in a police raid in which her father, a drug suspect, was gunned down along with another civilian and a police officer. Despite international condemnation and two complaints for alleged mass murder filed before the International Criminal Court, Duterte has warned that the drug war will become more dangerous in the final three years of his presidency. Police said the drug suspect, Renato Dolorfina, grew suspicious of an undercover police officer who was buying prohibited drugs from him. Their hopes and dreams fall short once bullets enter their bodies,” said the commission, which Duterte has repeatedly denounced along with U.N. human rights rapporteurs for raising alarm over his anti-drug campaign.
