From Afternoons, 3:08 pm on 24 September 2019

When provocative Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016, he was very clear that things were about to change. He promised to kill drug dealers, something the United Nations' Human Rights Council is now looking into.

Professor Judy Taguiwalo briefly served in Duterte's cabinet as Secretary of Social Welfare. Now she travels the world, giving an inside view of the human rights situation in the Philippines and sharing her personal story of hardship and resilience.
