Some People Need Killing by Patricia Evangelista is a gut-punch of a memoir about covering Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war in the Philippines. Evangelista takes you straight into crime scenes, grieving homes, and courtrooms, telling the stories of the people left behind while dissecting the language and politics that made the killings possible. It’s about the human cost, the trauma of witnessing, and the messy truth of doing journalism in a country where justice feels out of reach.
