Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism student fellow Pat Nabong will be posting from the Pulitzer Center's Instagram account from March 12 - 18, 2018.
According to local media reports, thousands of alleged drug users and dealers have been murdered by vigilantes and police loyal to President Rodrigo Duterte since July 2016. In low-income communities, people witness friends and family members' deaths on a regular basis, triggering a nationwide mental health crisis. As a Pulitzer Center student fellow, Nabong returned to her home nation to explore how witnesses and family members are coping with the killings.
