is the perspective of the woman on the War on Drugs. Except for a general description of as
a family member, no standard personal information was asked about the victim and how he

victim)Their ages range from below 18 (age was not specified) to 53 years old. Six victims
are members of indigenous cultural communities. One victim was identified as gay.
Majority of the EJK victims were earning an income when they were killed (35 out of 46 or
76.1%). Their employment ranged from managerial positions in their offices to informal
sector jobs such as collecting bets from jueteng, cockfighting and peddling drugs. Five
