  • Drug Recycling' Officers in the Recycling of for Operations (DRDO) in Cen- Leged Involvement in Illegal Seized Illegal Drugs
    MDM MONday | SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 P3 TIT FOR TAT Go wants some US senators banned from PH over de Lima Senator Christopher Lawrence Go on Saturday said he will suggest to President Rodrigo Duterte an equal retaliatory action against US senators who want to ban Philippine government officials from their country for their involvement in the detention of Senator Leila de Lima. “I will suggest to President Duterte to ban American legislators from entering our country for interfering in our internal affairs. These senators think they know better than us in governing ourselves,” Go said. Significantly, the senator made the statement in his speech at the 118th Balangiga Day Commemoration in Balangiga, Eastern Samar on Saturday, September 28. The Balangiga encounter was a successful surprise attack carried out by Filipino fighters against US troops during the Philippine-American War. It is considered by historians as one of the greatest displays of the bravery of the Filipinos fighting for their freedom. Commenting on news that a US Senate panel had approved an amendment in an appropriations bill that will ban Philippine government officials involved in the detention of de Lima, Go had choice words for the US senators: “Nakakaloko kayo.” “I condemn this act by a handful US senators… It is an affront to our sovereignty and to our ability to govern ourselves. It unduly pressures our independent courts and disrespects the entire judicial process of the Philippines by questioning its competence,” he said. Go said the US senators who proposed the initiative must themselves also be banned from the Philippines.

  • Urgent Appeal - the Observatory
    URGENT APPEAL - THE OBSERVATORY PHL 005 / 0820 / OBS 095 Killing The Philippines August 18, 2020 The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a partnership of the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and FIDH, requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in The Philippines. Brief description of the situation: The Observatory has been informed by Karapatan - the Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights - about the killing of Ms. Zara Alvarez, Karapatan Paralegal in Negros Occidental Province and Research and Advocacy Officer of the Negros Island Health Integrated Program (NIHIP). According to the information received, on August 17, 2020, at around 8pm, Ms. Zara Alvarez was fatally shot by unknown individuals along Santa Maria Street in Eroreco in Barangay Mandalagan, Bacolod City. Ms. Zara Alvarez was a well-known human rights defender who received repeated threats and was subjected to harassment as a result of her human rights work. She was detained from October 30, 2012, to July 22, 2014, on trumped-up murder charges, which were dismissed for lack of evidence, on March 4, 2020. She was also among the frequently red- tagged activists in Negros Island, and in 2018 she was tagged as “terrorist” along with more than 600 individuals in a case filed by the Department of Justice1. Her name and that of many others were subsequently removed from the list, but the threats against her continued. The Observatory condemns in the strongest terms the killing of Ms. Zara Alvarez and urges the authorities of the Philippines to carry out an immediate, thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation into her murder, to identify all those responsible, bring them before an independent tribunal, and sanction them as provided by the law.

  • Happy Independence Day to the Philippines!
    Happy Independence Day to the Philippines! Saturday, June 12, 2021, is Philippines Independence Day, or as locals call it, “Araw ng Kasarinlan” (“Day of Freedom”). This annual national holiday honors Philippine independence from Spain in 1898. On June 12, 1898, General Emilio Aguinaldo raised the Philippines flag for the first time and declared this date as Philippines Independence Day. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo, and Delfina Herbosa designed the flag of the Philippines, which is famous for its golden sun with eight rays. The rays symbolize the first eight Philippine provinces that fought against Spanish colonial rule. After General Aguinaldo raised the flag, the San Francisco de Malabon marching band played the Philippines national anthem, “Lupang Hinirang,” for the first time. Spain, which had ruled the Philippines since 1565, didn’t recognize General Aguinaldo’s declaration of independence. But at the end of the Spanish-American War in May 1898, Spain surrendered and gave the U.S. control of the Philippines. In 1946, the American government wanted the Philippines to become a U.S. state like Hawaii, but the Philippines became an independent country. The U.S. granted sovereignty to the Philippines on July 4, 1968, through the Treaty of Manila. Filipinos originally celebrated Independence Day on July 4, the same date as Independence Day in the U.S. In 1962, President Diosdado Macapagal changed the date to June 12 to commemorate the end of Spanish rule in the country. This year marks 123 years of the Philippines’ independence from Spanish rule. In 2020, many Filipinos celebrated Independence Day online because of social distancing restrictions.

  • Children in Armed Conflict: Philippines
    CHILDREN IN ARMED CONFLICT: PHILIPPINES Processes and Lessons Learned | 2009-2017 Action Plan on the Recruitment and Use of Children in Armed Conflict United Nations and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front FOREWORD The successful implementation of the UN-MILF Action Plan was a significant milestone in the international community’s global commitment to fulfil the rights of children in situations of armed conflict. The eight-year implementation started in 2009 and ended in July 2017 with the disengagement of nearly 2000 children and the delisting of the MILF- BIAF from the annexes of the UN Secretary General’s Report. Reaching its completion was challenging and required tremendous effort by all involved. I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of the Government of the Philippines and the MILF leadership toward ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Action Plan. Particular appreciation is also owed to the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict for its oversight and guidance, and to the United Nations in the Philippines. We also recognize the large number of our civil society partners in Mindanao who worked tirelessly on the ground to achieve the results highlighted here. This report acknowledges their special contributions. This report is a valuable resource, locally and internationally, for understanding how to effectively implement a plan that has successfully stopped and now prevents recruitment and use of children by armed groups. However, while we celebrate this success, we must not forget that armed groups in Mindanao and many other locations around the world are still recruiting and using children in their struggles.
