Vice President Leni Robredo hopes the commemoration of International Human Rights Day will be a call to speak the truth in the face of oppression and replace inequality with compassion. Read:

In a statement on Friday, Robredo, who is seeking the presidency in the 2022 elections, said the International Human Rights Day reminds the public of “common humanity,” which means that “regardless of race, color, religion, gender, we are a single human family, bound by a shared commitment to building a better and fairer world for all.”“We can accomplish this by relentlessly standing up for our rights, and the rights of others, at every opportunity.

“It requires embracing solidarity, and the conviction that an injustice committed against a fellow human person is an injustice committed against us all,” she added.
