Well, I do get the sense that it's been mostly low-level people, working
in the streets, who have been killed.[0] But Duterte's list apparently
includes "government, military and police officials".[1] And the article
doesn't even suggest the possibility that they're just his political
opponents. And a Mirror article does claim that innocent people are
being killed.[2] So it's probably not a good model approach.
