Tiglao's column came with the following footnote: "To be accurate, the PDI in the article that accompanied the photo did not blame the police, reporting only that the pedicab driver was killed by 'two men riding on a motorcycle.' It was the photographer Lerma who would write four days later, referring to the victim: 'It was the third extrajudicial killing of suspected drug pushers that I covered on the graveyard shift last week.' Extrajudicial killing is defined as executions by the police or other state agents of suspected criminals without the sanction of a court."
