it is important that we have human rights so we MAY NOT BE COMPELLED to resort to rebellion against tyranny and oppression. Our constitution provides legal framework for human rights, that's why we have Article III, Bill Of Rights and among other things the Commission of Human Rights, Article XIII.
Our current president made pronouncements in conflict of these principles. He and the party he belongs to is subverting the checks and balances within the constitution by removing the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and weakening the Judiciary. He has failed to protect our sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea. He continues to implement the brutal war against drug users, in complete disregard of their legal rights. He has issued statements encouraging the killings of suspects in the drug war.
