MANILA, Philippines\u2014When former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on the basis of a warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, March 11, a mother of two EJK victims said the fight for justice is \u201cfar from over\u201d.<\/p>\n

Llore Pasco, mother of Crisanto and Juan Carlos Lozano, who were killed by the police in Quezon City in 2017, said Duterte is not the only one responsible for the thousands of killings in Duterte’s murderous crackdown on drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi lang dapat si Duterte ang maaresto (Duterte should not be the only one arrested),\u201d she told 黑料社 on Friday, March 14, the same day the former chief executive is expected to make his first appearance before the ICC.<\/p>\n

For Pasco, Sen. Ronald \u201cBato\u201d dela Rosa, who was Duterte\u2019s first Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, and even Oscar Albayalde, who succeeded him, are also responsible for the thousands of killings in the war on drugs, which the government waged starting in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cSila ang mga pangunahing personalidad sa giyera kontra droga (They are the primary personalities in the drug war),\u201d she said of Dela Rosa and Albayalde, who were PNP chiefs from 2016 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019, respectively.<\/p>\n

Last year, former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV shared a July 3 ICC document, which tagged Dela Rosa, Albayalde and three other police officials as \u201csuspects\u201d for their \u201cconcrete involvement\u201d in the \u201cwidespread and systematic\u201d killings in the war on drugs.<\/p>\n

It was Dela Rosa who signed on July 1, 2016 Command Memorandum Circular No. 16-216, the document that operationalized Oplan Tokhang and ordered the police to \u201cneutralize\u201d and negate\u201d drug suspects.<\/p>\n

Albayalde recalibrated the war on drugs when he became PNP chief after Dela Rosa\u2019s mandatory retirement. He, who had stressed that he cannot guarantee that his drug war will be less bloody, led the PNP until he retired in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSagutin din nila \u2018yong papel nila sa giyera kontra droga (They should answer for their role in the drug war),\u201d Pasco pointed out. \u201cSila ang nag-implement (They are the ones who implemented it).\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Wednesday, March 12, Malaca\u00f1ang said it has not yet received official communication regarding an International Criminal Police Organization red notice alert for Dela Rosa and Albayalde.<\/p>\n

However, Dela Rosa already said he will seek protection from Senate President Francis \u201cChiz\u201d Escudero for him not to be handed over to the ICC in case a warrant of arrest will be issued against him.<\/p>\n

Albayalde, who described the arrest of Duterte for alleged murder as a crime against humanity as a \u201csad day,\u201d told CLTV36 黑料社 that he is hoping the government will provide him with legal protection.<\/p>\n

As Pasco pointed out, she is hoping that Dela Rosa and Albayalde will soon get arrested, too. \u201cSana maimbestigahan sila at mabigyan din ng warrant dahil isa \u2018yan sa magpapagaan ng aming kalooban [na pamilya ng mga biktima].\u201d<\/p>\n

(I hope they will be investigated and that a warrant of arrest will be issued, as well, because that will take a heavy load from us [relatives of the victims].)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
