Go defends Duterte's war on illegal drugs

Sen. Bong Go defended the Duterte administration's war on drugs and called for an impartial Senate inquiry on the alleged human rights violations committed in executing the campaign against drug suspects.

Go dismissed as 'diversionary tactic' the allegation of retired police colonel Royina Garma that Duterte wanted to replicate the so-called Davao model drug war, which gave law enforcers P20,000 for each street-level drug suspect killed.
