    KARAPATAN Monitor April - June 2011 t has been a year since President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III was elected president. His Iand his government’s performance has been mediocre. Specifi cally, his campaign promises relating to human rights remain unfulfi lled. Noynoy failed to render justice to the victims of human rights violations (HRV) under the U.S.-Arroyo regime. No one during his first year in Malacanang has been prosecuted among the perpetrators of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance, torture, arbitrary arrests, illegal detention and military atrocities in the countryside. It is to the victims’ and their relatives’ credit that civil suits have been filed against Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and criminal suits against the butcher general Jovito Pal- paran and other military officers. Six of the Morong 43 health workers promptly sued for justice and damages against those responsible for their incarceration for ten months on false charges. Linda Cadapan, Concepcion Empeño and Edith Burgos are the courageous mothers who are holding the perpetrators of HRVs accountable and are taking them to task for the disappearance of Sherlyn, Karen and Jonas. The United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) followed through with a class suit. Noynoy’s “righteous path” is stained with blood and Filipinos give Nonoy Aquino a failing mark for his fi rst year as president. tears.

Itinatag ang Sentro ng Wikang Filipino sa parehong taon upang tuparin ang mandatong ito. Bukod sa pagtalima sa probisyong pangwika ng Konstitusyon ng Pilipinas, ang Patakarang Pangwika ng UP ay pagsandig at pagtindig na pinakamabisa at pinakaangkop ang sariling wika upang isulong at palakasin ang makabayan, makatao, siyentipiko, at makatarungang oryentasyon ng edukasyon. Unang hakbang ang pagkakaroon ng Patakarang Pangwika sa UP. Sa pamamagitan ng Sentro ng Wikang Filipino, pinagyayaman at pinauunlad ang produksyon at distribusyon ng kaalaman gamit ang wikang Filipino. Noong 1994, sinimulan ang proyektong Aklatang Bayan na naglalayong maglimbag sa wikang Filipino ng mga aklat at pananaliksik sa iba’t ibang disiplina.

Bumabagal na ang takbo ng ekonomiya, tuloy-tuloy ang Npagkasalanta ng kabuhayan ng mamamayan dulot ng neoliberal na mga polisiya, habang papalaki ang ganansya ng iilan. Labis na sinunod ng gobyerno ang kapritso ng merkado, gayundin ang dikta ng malalakas na ekonomiya gaya ng US at China. Kasama ng kanilang mga lokal na kasapakat, kabilang ang mga oligarkiya sa ekonomiya at mismong pamahalaan, labis na pinagtubuan ng mga dayuhang namumuhunan at imperyalistang bansa ang lahat ng aspeto ng buhay ng mamamayan. l114 Timog Avenue, Quezon City, 1103 Philippines Tels. +63 2 927 7060 to 61 Fax +63 2 929 2496 www.ibon.org 2 IBON Praymer l Hulyo 2019 IBON Praymer Hulyo 2019 3 Sa kabilang banda, nakikinabang sa ganitong kaayusan si Duterte. Nakaayon ito sa kanyang interes na manatili sa poder. Naging malinaw ito sa nakalipas na tatlong taon sa paggamit ni Duterte ng mekanismo ng batas hanggang dahas para itulak ang kanyang mga interes. Ang atakeng pang-ekonomiya, pagdausdos ng demokrasya, at malawakang pagyurak sa karapatang pantao sa nakalipas ng tatlong taon ay lalo lamang nagreresulta sa paglakas ng pagkakaisa ng mamamayan upang labanan ang maling sistema. At ito ang kinatatakutan ni Duterte – ang nagkakaisang lakas ng mamamayan para panagutin siya at ang kanyang rehimen sa kanilang mga krimen sa sambayanan. Umunlad ba ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas sa 1 tatlong taon ni Duterte, katulad ng kanyang ipinangako? Hindi. Katunayan, tuloy-tuloy ang pagbagal ng ekonomiya. Sa unang 11 kwarto ng administrasyon, mula 7.1% paglago noong pangatlong kwarto ng 2016, bumagal ito sa 5.6% nitong unang kwarto ng 2019.
