The Church and human rights advocates have expressed alarm over the series of execution on people suspected to be in illegal drugs trade in different parts of the country, coinciding with the call of incoming President Rody Duterte for the people to help in fight against drug personalities.
Police, however, would only say follow up investigations are being conducted for possible arrest of the suspects.
