For Whom the Bell Tolls

In the next forty days – as suggested by the CBCP – we honor the victims of Duterte’s war on drugs by asking their widows and orphans their deepest prayers and longings. It is they who are most affected by their husband’s or son’s death.
 
As we toll the bells, as we light the candles, we express our solidarity with them and join them in prayer daily, until November 1 when all the Filipinos go to the cemeteries and remember their dead.

Capacity Building

Financial assistance for basic survival needs and the education of the children will be made available to the families. Moreover, families will be trained and assisted in finding viable sources of livelihood to regain their economic independence.

Healing and Recovery

Healing and Recovery

Various psycho-social interventions and treatments will be in place to improve resiliency and to hasten recovery from trauma. Interventions and treatments that will be implemented will respect and promote the culture of the families.

Capacity Building

Justice and Accountability

Networking and coordination with other similar supportive agencies and organizations will be encouraged to maximize the utilization of available resources for the families’ empowerment. With the incidents and details of the killings documented, we network with legal bodies to prepare victims’ families to pursue legal accountability of the perpetrators.
