On Thursday, July 4, 2019, the Commission on Human Rights has condemned the killing of a three-year-old girl in a crossfire in a Philippine police raid in which her father, a drug suspect, was gunned down along with another civilian and a police officer.
“Myka Ulpina’s life was cut short in the hands of those who swore to protect it,” the commission said in a statement, stressing that it “condemns the death of another innocent life as a consequence of the government’s war against illegal drugs.” Police said the drug suspect, Renato Dolorfina, grew suspicious of an undercover police officer who was buying prohibited drugs from him. He got a gun from his house and shot the officer, sparking a firefight which left Dolorfina, his daughter, his companion and the officer dead.
