“Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa and former president Rodrigo Duterte are among those charged before the International Criminal court for crimes against humanity over the killings related to the drug war.”
What Vera Files found
The ICC probe is still in the preliminary investigation stage and no suspect has been charged.
