Members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) examine the scene of a crime where an alleged drug dealer was summarily executed in Manila, Philippines, 01 July 2016. Controversial politician Rodrigo Duterte, who was sworn in as the new president of the Philippines on 30 June, advised policemen to do their duty. He won voter confidence vowing to wipe out crime and drugs - two of the biggest issues in the country - but he has been harshly criticized by rights groups for advocating extrajudicial killings to bring down crime rates. The number of traffickers killed in the Philippines since Duterte won the elections has increased by 200 percent, according to police data. (Photo by Francis R. Malasig/EPA)
