On the 2nd August 2023, Jerhode Jemboy Baltazar and his friend, Sonny Boy, planned a fishing trip to earn a couple of bucks. The boys set out to first clean their boats before sailing out but as they were minding their business, a group of police officers approached their area in Navotas and opened fire.
Sonny Boy saw his friend fall into the water, only to never surface alive anymore. Another young soul taken by the very authorities tasked to protect and serve Filipinos.
Jemboy's killing ignited discussions around the culture of corruption, violence and impunity within the PNP and how after Duterte's war on drugs, killings of unarmed, mostly poor Filipinos continue. Despite showing themselves as remorseful and willing to prioritise Jemboy's case, cracks would soon be seen that would expose how the police would always protect their own first instead of taking responsibility for their crimes.
