The protection now being extended to Senator Bato is the same protection this state denied thousands of Filipinos during the bloody years of the drug war.
No warrants served with caution. No guarantees of due process. No Senate shielding them from arrest. No powerful institution rushing to defend their rights after they were branded guilty without trial.
For years, ordinary Filipinos were told that fear, violence, and death were necessary. Now that accountability is approaching the powerful, suddenly the language has changed to rights, dignity, and protection under the law. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Ang dine-demand mong due process at pagrespeto sa iyong mga karapatan ay ang siya mismong ipinagkait mo sa mga biktima ng bogus na drug war ninyo ni Duterte. #BatoArestuhin
Manila Apostolic Administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo on Palm Sunday called on the faithful to spend the Holy Week contemplating injustices in society.

During these days, the Church enters into the great meditation of the Lord's Passion. The suffering Christ is present in the person of the poor, the excluded, the sick, the hungry, those who bear the mystery of the cross with Him. #HolyWeek
