MANILA - A former police general who oversaw the bloodiest years of the Philippines’ war on drugs on Thursday shrugged off the killing by police of a 3-year-old girl in a sting operation, saying the world was not perfect, and “shit happens”.
Ronald dela Rosa, a Senator who once led the crackdown that has killed thousands of mostly urban poor drug users and peddlers, said “collateral damage” was inevitable in police operations, referring to Sunday’s killing of toddler Myka Ulpina in a province near Manila. The New York-based Human Rights Watch said the child’s killing should motivate the international community to do something to prevent more bloodshed.
Critics of President Rodrigo Duterte say his three-year-old campaign has largely been a failure, intended to create shock and fear and burnish his tough image without making a dent on big narcotics syndicates.
