Not even the rich, the famous or the politically connected are safe from The Punisher’s army of killers as they carry out what amounts to a state-sponsored massacre.
The death toll from Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs is about to hit the 6000 mark, just five months after he took office.
That figure, while shocking, is not even close to the target.
“You can expect 20,000 or 30,000 more,” Mr Duterte told reporters in October.
To the majority who voted for him, the 71-year-old is simply honouring his election promise to dump the bodies of “100,000 (drug dealers and users) in Manila Bay”.
However, comments Mr Duterte made this week may also have signed deaths warrants of the human rights activists campaigning against the brutal policy.
“The human rights (defenders) say I kill. If I say: ‘OK I’ll stop’. They (drug users) will multiply,” the president said on Monday.
“When harvest time comes, there will be more of them who will die. Then I will include you among them because you let them multiply.”
