Imagine your own child tied to a tree. Beaten. Abused. Killed without mercy.
Left lifeless while the world keeps moving.
Then imagine the suspect being arrested—given food, legal protection, and the full weight of the law to defend his rights.
Many criticize former president Rodrigo Duterte for being harsh on criminals. They call his methods brutal. They question the campaign. They condemn the violence.
But what about the families who buried their loved ones because of drugs?
We talk loudly about human rights. There are exhibits, memorial walls, documentaries, and public spaces remembering those who died during the drug war. Their names are spoken. Their stories are told.
Pero unsa man ang para sa mga biktima?
Asa ang hustisya para sa inosenteng anak nga wala na nakauli?
Para sa igsoon nga wala na nakahuman og eskwela kay namatay ang breadwinner?
Para sa ginikanan nga hangtod karon nagmata matag gabii tungod sa kasakit?
Justice should never be one-sided.
Pain does not belong to only one narrative.
Kay sa matag “adik” nga namatay, naa pud pamilya nga naghilak.
Pero sa matag inosenteng biktima sa droga, naa pud pamilya nga forever nawad-an — walay second chance, walay closure, walay balik.
History should remember everything.
Not only the faces of those who died in the drug war,
but also the silent tears of families shattered by drugs and crime.
Kay dili lang usa ka side ang naay kasakit.
Dili lang usa ka side ang naay istorya.
