while seemingly dispensing with the "law" part of law and order:
Jose Manuel "Chel" Diokno, one of the Philippines' foremost human rights lawyers, says that under Duterte, the country is experiencing a climate of fear worse than the dark days of martial law under late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Back in the 1970s and 80s, enemies of the state were branded "communist," he says. "Now, it's 'drug user,'" says Diokno, the chairman of the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG).
"The presumption is reversed -- you have to come forward (these days) and prove your innocence. It's harder than during the Marcos years. Anything goes."
