On Rodrigo Duterte’s Arrest and Detention at the International Criminal Court-The Hague
“Hope does not disappoint” (Romans 5:5). No despotic leader and their instrumentalities can ever escape the triumph of Justice. The cries of the victims of their murderous acts will hound them until JUSTICE is served!
We are inspired by the strength, courage and unwavering hope shown by the families of victims of extra-judicial killings (EJK) of Duterte’s bogus drug war. Truly the years from 2011 to 2019 were dark years for the Philippines. But the families of EJK victims held tenaciously together and never lost hope that justice will soon triumph!
We, Good Shepherd Sisters and Lay partners in mission in the Philippines will continue to demand for accountability from the past and present governments for their sins against the people especially the poor. We will support and act on the continuing clamor for justice of all victims of extra- judicial killings and human rights violations during the Duterte regime which continues until now under the Marcos regime.
We shall unite our efforts in solidarity with the international and global community to pursue and work for Justice and fight against impunity and corruption in all its forms!
