In a small, ramshackle home in Payatas, a girl named Jennifer sits on a blue couch that still bears the mark of a bullet. It was there, in December 2016, that she clung to her father, Benigno, as police officers barged in. Despite his desperate pleas for mercy—“Sir, if I

While legal experts argue over evidence of crimes against humanity, a daily flood of disinformation has turned the internet into a battleground for many Filipinos.

DOCTORED IMAGES SPREAD ONLINE TO SMEAR EJK VICTIMS' KIN More than two dozen pro-Duterte Facebook pages spread a doctored photo of drug war victims' kin carrying designer handbags with near-identical captions in just half a day. Read: https://t.co/uCiM6N9Jch
