Last week the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the US House of Representatives examined the thousands of murders as well as other human rights abuses being committed by the Government of the Philippines and its current president, Rodrigo Duterte. The witnesses testified that Duterte's so-called "war on drugs" is really a brutal war on the poor #DumpDuterte
