MANILA (AFP) – Rodzon Enriquez’s skeletal remains are pulled out of a coffin-sized tomb in Manila and placed in a body bag. Five years after the 21-year-old was killed in the Philippines’ drug war, the lease on his grave is expiring.
Activists estimate tens of thousands of people have died since Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte ordered police to go after drug addicts and dealers in a widely-condemned campaign that has largely targetted poor men.
Many of the dead were put in “apartment” tombs stacked metres high in jam-packed cemeteries across the sprawling capital, where a five-year lease on a rectangular concrete box costs about PHP5,000 (USD100).
