95 out of 105 countries that attended the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in Geneva, Switzerland last week were convinced that EJK is non-existent in the Philippines. It have been noted that figures reaching the said countries were "spoiled and rotten information" picked up from the local media.

The problem is we give the facts and figures but local media is not reporting our side. The total number of killings is the summary of all the cases including homicide and murder cases.   - Department of Internal Local Government (DILG) Assistant Secretary Epimaco Densing.

DILG Assist. Sec Densing further reiterated that the Philippines delegation's trip to Geneva last week was fruitful and a big success because we had opened the minds of the international community that the government do not tolerate extra-judicial killings in the country.

This is what I call success...but will it change the mindset of the international community about President Duterte?

It is still a hurdle, we can't easily change the stigma brought about by biased media but still it's better, I say baby steps muna. :)

Something is being done at least for the media. People can see through their lies now compared to before President Duterte.

Victory! Sorry to yellow cult, you failed again. Try again next time :P

The ICC next..they are running out of options. Such a waste of time, energy and effort for greed and power.

Lets pray for our country. :(

More than ever. Light ka candles for PRRD.
