Corazon Enriquez’s 21-year-old son was shot dead by police in 2016, weeks after Rodrigo Duterte became president of the Philippines and ordered a crackdown on drug dealers and addicts. But five years later, workers at the cemetery in the capital Manila had to exhume the remains because a lease on the gravesite expired and the family could not afford to renew it.
