On March 12, the remains of more than a dozen victims of extrajudicial killings were buried at a cemetery in Manila. This happened as former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte faces murder charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for killings during his drug war. The burial was part of a program by a non-governmental organization (NGO) to help poor families of victims find a proper resting place for their loved ones who were killed. One of the victims buried was the 44-year-old son of Josephine Comendo, who was killed in 2016. She said that Duterte`s arrest has helped her family begin to heal. Duterte, who was president from 2016 to 2022, was arrested on March 11 in Manila. This is a major development in the ICC`s investigation into the alleged crimes against humanity during his anti-drug campaign, which resulted in thousands of deaths and international criticism. At 79, Duterte could become the first former Asian leader to face trial at the ICC in The Hague.
