ICYMI: Former President Rodrigo Duterte’s alleged crimes against humanity in his brutal drug war cannot be “cleansed” by the House of Representatives, an opposition lawmaker said.

He said he saw “the gravity of the drug problem firsthand” from the viewpoint of the committee which he already headed during the Duterte administration.
