On 17 March 1995, Filipino domestic worker Flor Contemplacion, 42, was executed at the Changi Women’s Prison and Drug Rehabilitation Center in Singapore.

The execution sparked mass protests and a diplomatic row between Singapore and the Philippines.

20 years later, it moved then presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte to tell a crowd in 2015, "I burned the flag of Singapore. I said: 'F*** you ... You are a garrison pretending to be a country.”

About the case
Delia Maga, a fellow domestic worker, was found strangled to death on 4 May 1991. Nicholas Huang, a three-year-old boy under the care of Maga, was also discovered drowned.

Singapore police connected Contemplacion to the deaths through a diary that Maga kept. During interrogation, she confessed to the murders of Maga and Huang.

Contemplacion was sentenced to death by hanging.

Aftermath
Protests erupted across the Philippines following Contemplacion’s execution.

One of the protests was led by then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who burned a Singapore flag while leading a protest by city hall employees.

Duterte would later recall his actions during his presidential campaign, uttering his controversial remark.

His spokesperson would later say that Duterte’s remark was meant to be a joke.

President Duterte’s administration should be held accountable for the killings of activists and human rights defenders in the Philippines, say human rights groups - The Online Citizen Asia
The government of the Philippines must face international accountability for its widespread killing of activists and human rights defenders, as well as other human rights violations it has committed, seven human rights groups said in a statement on Thursday (18 Mar).

The groups cited several incidents which highlighted President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration’s human rights violations.

On 7 March 2021, members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the military killed nine community-based activists and arrested six in coordinated raids across four provinces, in a massacre that highlighted the continuous attacks against the government’s critics.

Two days prior to this incident, Duterte had issued a shoot-to-kill order targeting communist rebels, saying, “If the enemy is holding a gun, kill them. Kill them right away”.

“Ignore human rights. That is my order,” he said.

Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu, executive director of FORUM-ASIA said that Duterte’s act of inciting “terrorist-tagging of human rights defenders, activists and critics have resulted in the harassment and violence against them, as well as their death”.

“This demonstrates the increasingly dangerous space, not just for human rights defenders, but for all of civil society and the Philippine people at large,” she added.

The groups stated that under Duterte’s government, civil society and human rights defenders have found themselves in danger particularly for opposing the government’s “war on drugs” and his repressive policies.

Duterte has consistently incited violence against his critics while blaming human rights defenders for the increase in the number of drug users.

He has threatened to behead human rights activists, and justified the assassination of “corrupt journalists”, as he continues to promise protections to police who follow these orders.

There have also been allegations where evidence was planted by the police and military forces to justify the violence.

“Despite the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights report that details widespread and systematic human rights violations by the government, including the killing of human rights defenders, and a subsequent resolution providing technical assistance on human rights to the government, the violence and harassment against rights defenders have only intensified.”

“These killings highlight the need for an immediate international investigative mechanism to ensure accountability for all perpetrators,” the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders said.

The groups noted that this crackdown on civic space is being institutionalised through state policy.

In July last year, the government implemented an Anti-Terror Law, which allows a Council composed of state officials to designate individuals as terrorists, without a court order.

A local resolution targeting left-leaning personality with “drug-style” operations was released in the Cordillera region in February 2021.

Government officials, and the security sector continue to tag activists and civil society members as terrorists, communists and subversives in their public speeches, endangering their safety and security.

Since 2016 when Duterte took power, FORUM-ASIA has documented at least 59 killings, including extrajudicial killings of human rights defenders in the country.

“These attacks go beyond individual killings; they reinforce an environment where people are afraid to question and dissent, further perpetuating this cycle of impunity,” said CIVICUS Asia Pacific researcher, Josef Benedict.

“This proves that the UN Human Rights Council’s recent resolution has been ineffective at stemming these violations, and the international community must immediately initiate clear and sustained action to hold the perpetrators to account,” he added.

“Domestic human rights mechanisms remain compromised, while human rights defenders face threats every day. An international investigative mechanism for the extrajudicial killings related to the ‘war on drugs’, and the killings of rights defenders, is even more imperative today, than it has ever been,” the groups concluded.
