A Philippine rights group says policies that governed former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs continue to apply and could still be used by police under the current administration unless the Supreme Court explicitly overturns them. In a newly filed Manifestation and Urgent Motion for Resolution, the Center for International Law (CenterLaw) represents petitioners including Sr. Ma. Juanita R. Daño and others and argues that existing police and department circulars have not been modified, suspended, or revoked. The group points to PNP CMC No. 16-2016, as amended by CMC No. 01-2017, and to DILG MC No. 2017-112. It also cites PNP CMC No. 16-2016, known as Project “Double Barrel,” as part of the framework it says remains active. The group’s motion asks the court to address the continued legal status and use of these rules, asserting they are still available for law enforcement operations. The filings reflect the group’s position on how current authorities may implement prior drug-war policy guidance pending any Supreme Court action.
