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

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.
