Filipino politician and former police chief facing legal and political scrutiny
The Philippine civilian Truth and Reconciliation Commission has launched to document killings in Duterte’s anti-drug crackdown, which ICC warrants target Duterte ally Ronald Dela Rosa and others. The commission aims to collect testimonies, produce an evidence-based record, and steer accountability, healing, and reform.
The anti‑graft Ombudsman has indicted Senator Jinggoy Estrada for plunder and related corruption over kickbacks totaling 573 million pesos from flood‑control projects. Estrada has been jailed before but has posted bail in related cases and remains active in politics as prosecutors press a second charge.
