CHR laments Duterte’s veto on budget to set up Human Rights Institute in PH

The Commission on Human Rights has lamented President Duterte’s veto on an item in the General Appropriations Act for 2022 which would have set up the Human Rights Institute in the country.

“The CHR is saddened by the news of the President’s direct veto of the item in the GAA which seeks to help establish the HRI—a flagship program of the CHR that was launched during the 2021 Human Rights Day—to better carry forward its mandate under the 1987 Constitution ‘to establish a continuing program of human rights research, education, and information to enhance the respect for the primacy of human rights.

“We thank our legislators for their support for the HRI and their commitment towards the approval of our budget as a whole. This is not only a testament to the belief in the merits of the HRI but, more importantly, to ensure that CHR is enabled to independently discharge its constitutional mandates through sufficient resources.

“While the President’s veto is disheartening, we view this as an opportunity to press on. We shall continue to pound the walls of impunity to convey the message of human rights straight and across to our people. We are fully committed to continuously engage government and encourage them to do better as we work towards educating the people about human rights and promoting human rights of all,”

😀😃😄😁 umasa sila...

Sigurado puro pulahan ang mga appoint sa Institute na yan. Dapat iveto talaga yan.
