Human Rights day? do you feel it...

You are all lucky that you have kept human rights active since this country. i wonder when will be my country be free from tyranny and opression and slavery. not to mention they're not even allowed to leave their country because if they do they will be killed.am glad to be in this country, i still believe human rights still honored.

Well my friend, i guess at this present time, the words "HUMAN RIGHTS" are now senseless or do not even exist especially in our country. It is really sad and pitiful to those family who became and becoming a victim of the greed for power. Have you heard the kidnapping? Will you believe that they are really a different group? Hmm... I do not know but, imagine, it will not be the only rebellion and violence that will happen to our country, i am sure there are future events that will happen and much bigger. So that, they can declare Martial Law in the whole country and then take advantage of it. taking advantage meaning, i am sure they will proceed with the process of charter change. have you thought about that? Anyway, actually i do not want to blame anyone why does this situation is happening to us right now, cause we are all part of it and we are the citizens of this country. But the moment i realized that we are just being played by people who have the GREED for power, I myself now is becoming a blamer, and i blame those people who are not content of what they have and i blame those people who have very much high, not only high but super high! GREED AND HUNGER FOR POWER AND MONEY! and that also make me thing that it is very impossible to cure and heal our country today.!

Philippines sure have gone way too deep. And you're right, it has been a series of embarrassing responses and none-responses by our government. People are dying, taken as hostage -- and how are they trying to keep things "in order"? They shut people up so that no one would be able to blow their whistles on the corruption that everybody knows about anyway.

I don't think if there is a respect of human rights here in the Philippines? Until the government of Arroyo, still on the position human right is not practices because there is no case that will win of her corrupt activities since she is the boss of those supreme court justices... The declaration of martial law in maguindanao, is a kind of suppressing the people's live with peace. That particular province is peace even do there is killing but people within that area is not affected but under the military. peoples in that area have fear that military violated their rights to live...

Hello Letran, This is really funny dear brother... there are humans....but the rights of these humans are nowhere to find...what more to celebrate then? Our country is now on the lists as one of the most dangerous country for tourism/media. What a shame...and i am glad that you are one of those concern people(few concern in the real sense)who's observing the country's rotten system.(phew) Keep it up dear brother

Hi LetranK, I don't need a big celebration for human rights. everyday i exercise my rights as a person. nobody can take it out from me. i am certain that in exercising my rights i am not doing any harm to others. i just saw it on tv but sad to say did not create a strong impact on me. anyway, happy human rights day friend! let's all exercise our rights the rght way of doing it and being considerate with others!

I don't think by generalizing the massacre in maguindanao would stain our way of recognizing the human rights day. remember that more of our humans rights had been recognized since the end of martial law and the fall of marcos. this recents was one of the worst things that has happened in our history but i still do not consider giving up or throwing in the towel if you assume that we have failed to attain our human rights.
