The death toll of drug suspects has increased significantly over the past two months since President Duterte waged war aginst illegal drugs.
A recent documentary report by BBC has presented a shocking revelation that no one could have thought; alleged female assasins are being hired to kill in the "government-sanctioned" war against illegal drugs.
When you meet an assassin who has killed six people, you don't expect to encounter a diminutive, nervous young woman carrying a baby.
"My first job was two years ago in this province nearby. I felt really scared and nervous because it was my first time."
BBC's Jonathan Head interviewed one of these female hired killers nicknamed "Maria."
Maria is part of a hit team that includes three women, who have been contracted to kill drug dealers.
Since President Duterte urged citizens and police to kill drug dealers who resisted arrest, Maria has killed five more people, shooting them all in the head. She revealed her orders came from her boss who is a police officer.
Maria's husband used to kill for a police officer who want people who owed him money dead, and that started it all for the man.
Maria and her husband come from an impoverished neighbourhood of Manila and had no regular income before agreeing to become contract killers. The team now earn about P20,000 per hit which will be shared between the three or four of them.
Senator Alan Peter Cayetano doubted the BBC story on alleged female assasins being hired in the Philippines. He says it is almost impossible to search for these killers among the 100 million Filipinos.
Cayetano added, no hired killer will confess willingly, much less implicate the PNP in the crime. “Lahat ng report, hindi ko binabalewala, dapat pa rin imbestigahan pero mahiwaga lang sa akin kung, unang-una, mga gun for hire, hindi basta-basta umaamin."
The public must be cautious in immediately believing in such kind of report.
