The Philippines may have to issue a formal apology and pay reparations to South Korea for the killing of businessman Jee Ick-joo by police officers at Camp Crame under international law, a lawmaker said on Friday.

Kabayan Rep. Harry Roque, a former international law professor at the University of the Philippines, said the Philippines “may be held liable for failure to protect the life of foreign nationals in its territory.”

Such international responsibility, according to the congressman, “may arise given the circumstance of the killing and most specially, when the Tokhang cops responsible for the murder are not investigated and punished for their act.”

Duterte may have his fans, he may be honest but this recent incident is where an innocent South Korean businessman was killed there.

He has admitted (bragged) about carrying out extrajudicial killings (murder) himself.

This is a big story; apparently this businessman is totally innocent; innocent people are getting killed. It's their country.

Without rule of law and a dirty war being carried out, of course innocent people are dying left and right. Up to now the dictator just declared them criminals and waved it off.
