NOT LIVE · PHILIPPINES RECORD RUNS 3 JAN 2024 → 30 MAY 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 3 Jan 2024 and 30 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 175 events of organised violence in Philippines from published sources. Their best estimate is 469 people killed — and their own range runs 451–469, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
