Bayan Muna Chairman Neri Colmenares said the complaint filed by former Sen. Antonio Trillanes against Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte and several other individuals, if proven, will expose the Duterte administration's bloody war on drugs campaign as a sham.
Trillanes charges Paolo Duterte, Mans Carpio with drug trafficking
“If we fight the War on Drugs, this is a fake war on drugs. It could be that the illegal drug trade will be prohibited,” Colmenares said.
"The charges filed by former Senator Trillanes expose the hypocrisy of the Duterte administration's war on drugs. While thousands of poor Filipinos were killed under the guise of this campaign, it appears that many drug syndicates and suppliers involved in large-scale drug trafficking operations remained untouched. Dun sa mahihirap nakatutok si Duterte," he added.
Colmenares also stressed the importance of conducting a thorough and impartial investigation into “the true nature of the previous government's drug war.”
