The Party and revolutionary movement support the demand for justice for Johndy Maglinte, 16-year old, who was killed by police in Laguna province while in handcuffs and laying prostrate on the ground, in a supposed drug operation last week. He was apparently killed by police after he witnessed police officers kill a drug suspect in cold blood.

Maglinte is only one of the latest of the tens of thousands of victims of the brutal five-year “war on drugs” of the Duterte regime, which includes minors. He was killed in complete disregard of the international condemnation of Duterte and his drug war.

Duterte’s “war on drugs” is a big sham. In fact, the country remains flooded with shabu and is still one of the biggest market for illegal drug trade. It is meant only to camouflage drug smuggling now under control of Duterte and the military.

The killing spree perpetrated by police officers under the “war on drugs” remain unabated to keep the criminal drug syndicates paying Duterte bigger and bigger protection money. This will likely intensify further in the coming months with the approach of the 2022 elections.

The Party calls on all victims of police and military killings to unite and raise their voices to clamor for justice. They must demand that Duterte be tried and punished for all his crimes against the people, primarily the extrajudicial killings perpetrated by the AFP and PNP in the drug war as well as in the dirty war of suppression against the people.
