Mayuga April 30, 2020 The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), through the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), is addressing human-macaque conflict on a case-by-case basis “with the most humane approach possible.” This was the assurance by DENR Assistant Secretary Ricardo Calderon in response to an appeal made by an animal-rights activist in response to government’s plan to allow capture of native monkeys on an island in Romblon Province for research and development purposes. Responding to NE dim C. Byukmihci, emeritus professor of Veterinary Medicine at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Calderon said the position of the DENR is that the removal of macaques, or any wildlife, in conflict with humans is considered as the last resort after all other measures had been exhausted in consideration of the welfare of both humans and wildlife. According to Calderon, the concurrent director of the BMB, other approaches to addressing human-macaque conflict are forest restoration, appropriate disposal of wastes, and the massive public awareness campaign on avoiding interaction with macaques. “As we endeavor to achieve human-wildlife co-existence, rest assured that the future actions of this bureau on the sustainable use of wildlife resources shall be guided by the national wildlife conservation law and regulation and in accordance with the Multilateral Environment Agreements to which the Philippines is a party,” he said.

  • CONTRA-SONA We Would Like to Lend Our Voice to the Commendation Of
    CONTRA-SONA (PRESIDENT DUTERTE’S DEFAULT IN ROADMAP RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAGUES THE NATION) By: Rep. Edcel C. Lagman We would like to lend our voice to the commendation of President Rodrigo Duterte in coming to the House of Representatives yesterday despite the still raging pandemic to discharge his constitutional duty of delivering the State of the Nation Address (SONA). The grave and ominous setting of President Rodrigo Duterte’s 5th State of the Nation Address is unprecedented in Philippine history. It is for this reason that the nation expected him to announce and discuss his administration’s roadmap in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, albeit belatedly. GRAVE HEALTH STATISTICS As he spoke yesterday, a total of 80,448 persons in the country have tested positive for the novel coronavirus; 1,932 have died due to the infection; and only 26,110 have so far recovered, 1 leaving 52,406 still infected, hospitalized, in isolation or in the throes of death. The Philippines has held the dubious distinction of being the ASEAN’s laggard in comprehensively and coherently countering the contagion – from mass testing and controlling the spread of the virus to promptly treating those infected and protecting healthcare frontliners. This unbelievable complacency, if not incompetence, of government officials is clearly reflected in our COVID-19 statistics. On July 21, 2020, Reuters reported that the German online statistics portal Statista found that of the 30 countries worldwide most affected by the pandemic, the Philippines ranked 24th in terms of testing rate with only six countries worse than us.

  • Pushbacks and Lack of Accountability at the Greek-Turkish Borders Roberto Cortinovis No
    Pushbacks and lack of accountability at the Greek-Turkish borders Roberto Cortinovis No. 2021-01, February 2021 Abstract Amid escalating geopolitical tension with Turkey, in March 2020 the Greek authorities announced a hardline approach towards asylum seekers attempting to cross its land and sea borders with Turkey. The framing of cross-border movements as a ‘threat’ to the country’s national security served to justify a derogation from the human rights standards and procedural guarantees that are granted to people seeking protection under EU law. Since then, a pattern of systematic pushbacks at the border and informal returns represents the most visible expression of this hardening of border policies at the EU’s south-eastern borders. This paper analyses the negative impact of this heavily securitised approach on asylum seekers’ fundamental rights, in particular its implications for the right to asylum that underpins the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). The paper also reflects on the limits and ambiguities that have characterised the EU’s response to the situation at the Greek-Turkish borders, focusing on the role and responsibilities of the Frontex Agency. It underlines the need for the EU to remedy the shortcomings in existing accountability mechanisms, to guarantee effective remedies for victims of fundamental rights violations at the border. Establishing a sustainable human- rights-compliant management of migration in the eastern Mediterranean also requires that the EU move away from its focus on containing and restricting asylum seekers’ mobility – a focus that has characterised cooperation on migration and asylum with Turkey within the framework of the 2016 EU-Turkey Statement.

Benny Antiporda matapos sabihin nito kay City Mayor Rowena Tuason na ikinasa na ang isang malalimang imbestigasyon laban sa Coal-Fired Power Plant ng DMCI sa utos naman ni DENR Sec. Roy Cimatu. Sa isang panayam kay Boss Benny sa PTV4 program ni PCOO Sec. Martin Andanar kamakailan, isiniwalat ni Mayor Tuason ang ilan sa mga residenteng nakatira sa labas ng plantang nagkaroon ng sakit sa baga na animo’y may COVID-19 sanhi ng maitim na usok na ibinubuga nito. Ipinakita rin sa video ng alkalde ang pinsala nito sa karagatan ng Multi Awarded Buntod Reef Marine Sanctuary na may isang kilometro lamang ang layo mula sa planta makaraang magkaroon ng oil spill dito sa kasagsagan ng ECQ. Dinarayo ng mga turista ang lugar na ito dahil sa iba’t ibang uri ng yamang dagat na posibleng mangamatay kung patuloy ang operasyon ng plantang inirereklamo rin ang napakalakas na ingay ng makinang para bang may lalapag na eroplanong C130. Ipinangangalandakan kasi ng DMCI na tanging ito ang solusyon sa nangyayaring brownout ngayon sa pobre kong lalawigan na alam nating lahat na ibinaon na sa lupa ng ibang bansa ang paggamit ng mapanira sa kalusugan at kalikasan ng enerhiya ng Coal. Bagama’t daraan sa tamang proseso ang pagpapatigil sa operasyon nito, naniniwala ang mga kababayan ko na posibleng ipasara ito dahil sa mga violation matapos ang imbestigasyon ng DENR.

  • Right to Freedom of Movement (CHR V A2020-013)
    HUMAN RIGHTS ADVISORY ON THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT CHR (V) A2020-013 The Commission stresses that it supports the government in its fight against the COVID-19 outbreak, and it acknowledges the need to impose restrictions on certain rights and freedoms enjoyed by persons in order to address the pandemic. In this time of public health emergency, the right to freedom of movement, being interrelated to the right to health, has to be considered in all the measures and interventions of the government. Freedom of movement, or the right to travel, is a concept encompassing the right of individuals to travel from one place to another within the territory of a country, and to leave and return to it.1 Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”) guarantees the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State. It declares that everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return. The same rights are reiterated under Article 12 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”), to which the Philippines is a State Party. Nevertheless, as discussed further, Article 12 of the ICCPR provides for permissible limitations, including those which may be imposed by law and are necessary to protect national security, public order, public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, provided that they are consistent with other rights recognized by the ICCPR. Article III, Section 6 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution guarantees the liberty of travel, which shall not be impaired except in the interest of national security, public safety, or public health, as may be provided by law.

P2 OFW deployment in HK normal by Paul R. Ang THE deployment of workers to Hong Kong continues despite the mounting protests and civil disturbance in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the labor department is yet to receive a recommendation from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) if the condition would warrant a temporary deployment ban, even as the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) is closely monitoring the situation. “The DFA has not yet raised the alert level in Hong Kong. We are waiting for their recommendation before we make any action or temporarily suspend the deployment of our OFWs in Hong Kong,” Bello said during a media forum in Malate, Manila. He also directed the labor officials in Hong Kong to provide him with periodic report on the situation and should tension escalates. The labor chief however advised OFWs to stay indoors and avoid going to areas where protests and tensions were concentrated. “We urge our household service workers in Hong Kong to stay in their workplaces for the time being and avoid the streets where protests are held. We are closely monitoring the situation,” Bello said.

What the Filipino people demand are mass testing and other measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. Millions suffer hunger, military arrests, police checkpoints, curfews and threats to be shot and killed. Duterte received approval last 30 April from the US State Department’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency to buy 200 AGM-114 Hellfire II missiles and other military equipment. Duterte has used the military to launch attacks against the New People’s Army (NPA). He neglects the people’s needs to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite his declaration of a unilateral ceasefire on 19 March to 15 April, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) mounted counterinsurgency operations in over 161 towns and cities in 42 provinces across the country. In 45 days, the AFP deployed troops in at least 446 villages – 43% in the Visayas and Mindanao islands, 31% in the Southern Tagalog region in Luzon, 19% in Bicol also in Luzon and 7 % in provinces north of the National Capital region. Armed AFP troops roam around communities, enter homes and accuse residents of being members or supporters of the NPA. In one village, they arrested five civilians, brought them to the river and shot them. They arrested 21 hungry people in San Roque, Quezon City, who were demanding food and medical aid.
