Catholic churches in the Philippines have offered protections to cops who testify against Duterte's anti-drug campaign. Archbishop Socrates Villegas wrote "They have expressed their desire to come out in the open about their participation in extrajudicial killings and summary executions." The Catholic Church has led demonstrations against the drug war ever since the death of Kian delos Santos. Many others have been killed by police or vigilantes for allegedly using drugs or selling them. What are your thoughts?

I believe that there are many unwise extrajudicial elements of Duterte's anti-drug campaign.
Do you believe that the Catholic Church protecting police officers who simply testify is considered ample evidence to support against Duterte's policies?
Catholic churches do seem to play a major role in Philippine society, as roughly 83% of the population identify as Catholic.
