Emily Soriano and Isabelita Espinosa, grieving mothers who lost their teenage sons in a massacre during the war on drugs in 2016, celebrate the recent arrest of former President Duterte. They believe this marks a critical milestone in their long quest for justice. The killings, which claimed seven innocent lives, including children, exemplify the brutal impact of Duterte’s policies and the extrajudicial violence that plagued their neighborhood. For the victims' families, accountability is essential, and they assert the importance of fighting against tyranny and ensuring justice is served.
"What matters to me now is that justice is served, Ms. Espinosa said. And that we don't allow these butchers and tyrants to remain in power. We must fight back."
"The massacre seemed senseless, like thousands of other extrajudicial killings carried out during former President Rodrigo Duterte's so-called war on drugs."
