The Justice Department in the Philippines says it's begun investigating former President Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity.

The government rejected a similar probe into Duterte’s anti-drugs campaign by the International Criminal Court.

But it now says testimonies in Congressional hearings, as well as Duterte’s own admissions, are too damning to ignore.

Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo has this report from the capital Manila.
