CWN Editor's Note: The president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines called upon the nation’s president to form a National Truth and Reconciliation Commission that would investigate extrajudicial killings in the Philippine drug war.
“Truth-telling is not an act of reopening wounds—it is the only path by which wounds can finally heal,” said Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David of Kalookan. “It would reaffirm a principle that lies at the heart of our democracy and our shared faith traditions: that every human life has dignity and worth.”
