Cash rewards for drug killings just tip of iceberg–legislators

Quick Summary:

TWO members of the House of Representatives’ "Young Guns” bloc on Sunday hinted that retired police colonel Royina Garma’s exposé on the Duterte administration’s alleged payments and rewards to police officers during the brutal war on drugs—following the Davao model—is just the tip of the iceberg.

Espinosa made the revelation in the course of his testimony before the House QuadCom where he recounted his family’s personal ordeal as victims of extrajudicial killings (EJKs) associated with the Duterte administration’s brutal war on drugs.

Reacting to Garma’s claims, Go said, “malicious and unsubstantiated statements should have no place in any credible investigation.“The affidavit and statements of Colonel Garma during the recent QuadComm hearing, Go said, “are clear diversionary tactics to muddle the true issue she is facing—her participation in an alleged murder plot.
