Paghilom gathers the lived experiences of families left behind by victims of extrajudicial killings during former President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war. Through the voices of widows, children, mothers, and relatives, the book traces how victims became both central targets and collateral casualties in a brutal state-sponsored campaign.

More than a chronicle of Duterte’s violent legacy, Paghilom is a testament to the Filipino capacity for grace and endurance. These stories confront the raw truth of loss and injustice, but they also illuminate the quiet power of rebuilding—of finding hope and voice in the aftermath.

In assembling these narratives, Paghilom insists on remembering not only what was taken, but also what endures.

A Death Foretold: The Ninoy Aquino Assassination Remembered

On August 21, 1983, Ninoy Aquino returned from a three-year exile to continue his incarceration as a political prisoner, and, it was widely held, to discuss terms of reconciliation with the government that sent him to prison. Minutes after his arrival, he was shot in the head in broad daylight, just as he was being escorted out of the aircraft.

This book gathers personal recollections and impressions of individuals who were there when it happened, whether they were home or away, whether they were politically allied or opposed, or indifferent.
