A Filipino priest’s fight for justice for victims of Duterte’s drug war | 101 East Documentary

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs” killed thousands of people. For years, Catholic priest Flaviano Villanueva has gathered evidence of alleged extrajudicial killings. He exhumed victims’ bodies for forensic examination and protected a key witness who claims he worked as a contract killer for Duterte. In March 2025, the priest’s persistence paid off when Duterte was arrested and extradited to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court. 101 East follows Father Villanueva’s fight for justice for the victims of Duterte’s brutal crackdown.
