United States Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. about the ‘importance of respect for human rights.’ Full story:
MANILA, Philippines – United States Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. about the “importance of respect for human rights,” the White House said in a statement.
After opening statements from Marcos and Harris, journalists – Manila-based media covering Malacañang and those embedded with the US Vice President – were escorted out of the meeting area. “They also discussed our nations’ shared democratic values and the importance of respect for human rights,” said the White House’s readout from the vice presidents’ meeting.
At least 11 member-states called on the Marcos administration to address extrajudicial killings under Duterte’s bloody campaign against illegal drugs. Marcos is considered an ally of the former president, although Duterte did not explicitly endorse his candidacy in 2022.
