In the Public Square: The truth about EJKs

Another day, another episode of the so-called Senateflix. But we can draw a straight line from the shameless conduct of the Cayetano majority in the Senate to the impunity that marked the Duterte years and that led to the extra-judicial deaths of thousands of Filipinos.

Will the hearings of the newly launched Truth Commission help us remember the larger context—and will memory and story help lead us to healing?

On May 27, the Philippine Truth and Reconciliation Commission was launched: a Church-backed, civilian-led, civil society-based initiative to get at the truth behind the extrajudicial killings.

In this new episode of In the Public Square, Rappler columnist John Nery is joined by the driving force behind the Truth Commission: The bishop of the Diocese of Kalookan, Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David.
