The Commission on Human Rights was subjected to criticism following the release of director Alyx Arumpac’s “Aswang,” a documentary on individuals detained in a “secret jail” in 2017.
In “HUWAG MATAKOT: An Aswang Post-Screening Forum” held July 23, Commissioner Karen Gomez-Dumpit said she understands people’s frustrations after seeing the documentary but she maintained, “It’s not really an exposé about CHR” maintaining it is more about “the ills that have happened in this campaign against criminality.”
“We are basically an investigative body, we monitor. Our investigations are not police investigations,” she stressed.She maintained, however, they are doing their best to make sure that people’s rights are protected. The CHR visited the “secret jail” on April 27, 2017. They subsequently filed a case before the Office of the Ombudsman regarding the incident on May 11 that same year.
