None the wiser after the drug killings inquiry

The Senate inquiry into the drug killings and the drug war of President Duterte may be nearing its end. Sen. Richard Gordon, the substitute chairman of the Senate committee on justice, has announced that the committee will soon wrap it up and later proceed to write its committee report.

Two senators, Antonio Trillanes and Leila De Lima, who were the most gung-ho about the inquiry, got livid over the rush. Trillanes charged that the hurry with which the committee seeks to close the probe constitutes a cover-up on behalf of the administration. De Lima, for her part, claimed that it was a “travesty” that the Senate will abandon the probe.
