When President Duterte assumed to power on 2016, he immediately started the so called “war on drugs” envisioned to halt the long time problems of the Philippines on illegal drugs. He tasked primarily the Philippine National Polince to lead this war with their so called “Oplan Tokhang” in going after illegal drugs activities and personnel. Unfortunately the Oplan Tokhang is allegedly used or abused by policemen for their personal interests or some sort of vendetta against their enemies which resulted to the problems of EJK (Franco, 2016; Johnson & Fernquest, 2018). In the Philippines, the term “extrajudicial killings” does not have a clear definition. Baldwin (2016) in Secretary v. Manalo, the Supreme Court, citing the rule on the writ of Amparo, opined that extralegal killings are “killings committed without due process of law, i.e., without legal safeguards or judicial proceedings” (Arceo, 2016).
