Bayan Muna and human rights advocates launched the “White Ribbon: Duterte Panagutin” campaign at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, calling for justice for victims of former president Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war.
The campaign was marked by a symbolic protest attended by victims’ families, church groups, and civil society organizations, who tied white ribbons and distributed materials to raise awareness.
Former lawmaker Neri Colmenares said the movement seeks accountability for what he described as crimes against humanity, criticizing the thousands of killings during Duterte’s term.
Organizers urged the public to wear white ribbons and support the International Criminal Court’s investigation, with hearings expected to begin in September.
The campaign aims to sustain pressure on the government and rally public support in seeking justice for the marginalized and victims of extrajudicial killings.
