FRANCISCO S. TATAD
A NUMBER of friends called me on Wednesday morning to ask if I had already sold out to President Rodrigo Duterte. Whatever happened to you? they said, after reading my column, “Saving President Duterte.” In it I said I was rather delighted that although the Catholic bishops denounced the drug killings in their February 5, 2017 pastoral letter, they did not condemn DU30. They did not ask him to abandon his anti-drug campaign, but only asked to end the summary killings.
