I had seen many human rights violations in our country especially during rallies. This past few days our provincial capitol was put into a very difficult situation. I had seen people being dragged in our tv screen. Our governor son's was being drag and those armed personnel broke down our provincial capitol doors and sniper were put into our governors office. Our governor was dismiss because of some cases , do you think that dragging civilians and aiming there weapons to them are considered human rights violations?, Government stated that what they had done is right ,and breakage of government property were also right.I would like to add that such order of invasion in our province must be done the day after. Do you think this act of police personnel and our higher government a sign of human rights violations?. Or its just a part of legal order which they had done.

In the Philippines, at least, many human rights violators can get away with the crimes that they have commited. Let's admit it, our law are lax. Even if there are stern laws, the law enforcers are not implementing them properly. But, sometimes, we have the bend the rules so that the majority will benefit. We really do not have to do anything by the book bacause that would be the height of hypocrisy.

I totally agree with you, human rights violations is very common here in Philippines. Law enforcers are also the law breakers here in Philippines. It's hard to implements laws if the government is protecting them.
