The government will investigate the murder of nine activists in Calabarzon region, Malacañang said Monday.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, however, said the recent crackdown on activists was not related to President Rodrigo Duterte’s order last March 5 to “kill” all communist rebels in the country.
“Doon sa mga napatay na mga aktibista, ang obligasyon ng estado iimbestigahan at kung makita nila na meron talagang dapat parusahan, ang obligasyon ay lilitisin at paparusahan ang mga pumatay,” Roque said in a televised briefing.
“Yung mga siyam na napatay, iimbestigahan natin yan kasi hindi sila sakop ng International Humanitarian Law dahil nung sila ay napatay wala naman silang hawak na baril,” he added.
The secretary also clarified that Duterte’s “kill, ,kill, kill” order only applies to armed communist rebels.
Authorities claimed that those who have been killed had resisted arrest.
