KRISIS 2024: The Special Drug War Issue

Rodrigo Duterte won on a promise to end the scourge of criminality by wiping them off the earth.

He did not end crime.

But he made good on that promise to eliminate those labeled as “enemies of the people.” On top of this list were drug suspects.

In Duterte’s name, a relentless and deadly campaign began—a “war” that left a bloody trail of tens of thousands of murdered Filipinos in its wake.

Here are 500 of them.

This special issue of KRISIS delves deeper into the poignant stories of lives cut short and the chilling legacy of a regime that blurred the line between justice, impunity, and brutality.
