“Oh my Aldrin, how nice it was to be your mother …
The many dreams you had …
Shattered all of a sudden.
In an instant, you were gone.
On the night of October 2, you were killed
By motorcycle-riding offenders without license plates
Their faces were covered …
Ordered by the butcher .”
This is an excerpt from a poem written by Nanette Castillo, one of the innumerable mothers of victims of extrajudicial killings during Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs. She lost her only child, Aldrin, on Oct. 2, 2017.
