Last week, in the biggest public show of opposition to the murderous "War on Drugs" of Philippines’ President Duterte of the Philippines, more than 1,000 people demonstrated against the continued killings. While the spark for this demonstration was the latest murder of a child by police, this time 17 year old Kian de los Santos, it allowed many other victims’ families to come out, to demand justice, and to call for an end to these mass killings. Over the last year, Filipino working class communities have had to endure death squads with an estimated 10,000 people murdered so far.
