Human Rights are inherent to all human beings regardless of the race, social status, religion, gender, and ethnicity. It should be upheld anywhere at any given situation.
Fundamental human rights are protected in Article III of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines. Under Section 4, no law shall be passed abridging the right of the people "peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances".
Walang pinipiling lugar o mukha ang paglabag sa karapatang pantao. Kaya mahalagang alam natin ang ating mga karapatan

UPHOLDING HUMAN RIGHTS AND INT’L HUMANITARIAN LAW: The relevance of CARHRIHL in the Philippines
27 APRIL 2023

Liwasang Diokno, Commission on Human Rights compound
The Philippines justice system needs an overhauling from top to bottom. Our justice system is broken and definitely unfair. If there were no human rights violations then there's nothing to hide. So why has the government been uncooperative with the ICC?
In the Philippines, anyone who criticizes the government can be red-tagged. The regime falsely accuses journalists, activists, community leaders, and politicians of being terrorists or communist members.
The Philippines is ruled by a competitively authoritarian regime in which freedom of expression & peaceful assembly are constantly threatened.
Since 2016, many human rights defenders, activists, & journalists have been killed after being red-tagged.
Red-tagging has since become a destructive tool to quash dissent.
The international community should take a hard look at the exacerbating human rights situation in the Philippines. Far from its platitudes of improvement, the reverse is taking place — unabated spate of extrajudicial killings to threats against dissenters.
All of us, especially our children, have the right to spend our years in a safe, nurturing space that promotes dignity and mental well-being pursuant to the human rights principles set in domestic law and international instruments.
