The Duterte administration acknowledges that only a little more 6,000 were killed in the antinarcotics drive during his six-year term.The Democratic lawmaker also bewailed the different forms of harassment such as Red-tagging and arrests of labor organizers and opposition figures.
Wild’s move was hailed by civil society groups in the United States, including the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines , the Kabataan Alliance and the Malaya Movement.“Friendship between the people of the United States and the Philippines is demonstrated by genuine acts of solidarity, like those being exemplified by Rep.

The PNP at that time belittled any pullout of US assistance, saying it would not affect the organization since it had the “full support” of then President Rodrigo Duterte.
