MANILA – Jane Lee has already lost count how many times she talked about her husband who was killed in the Philippine government’s war against illegal drugs. While it has been nearly five years, she still thinks of what-could-have-been scenarios, often asking herself if there was anything in her power that could have changed her husband Michael’s fate that evening of March 20, 2017.
“Go ahead. I will just wait for the jeepney,” she remembered her husband telling her as they walked along Langit Road (literally Heaven) leading to their home in Bagong Silang, Caloocan.
Lee told Michael, a jeepney driver, and musician, to go home as soon as possible. He responded saying it would take him an hour at most to check the jeepney which he would use the following day.
