The Government regularly urges the Philippine government to ensure all deaths associated with the war on illegal drugs are investigated. Most recently, on 4 December, the Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific raised this with Under Secretary Manalo of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, as did officials through the UK-Philippine High Level Talks the same day.
