Human Rights In The Philippines Should Be Strengthened

In the Philippines, human rights are secured by the Constitution, which ought to

guarantee that citizens can live in harmony and pride, liberated from abuse by people or

[Link] Philippine Constitution of 1987 was written with the Filipino people's

in heart. Article III of the Bill of Rights was declared unconstitutional in 22 sections.

The law guarantees that individuals have the right to speak freely of discourse, right to

utilize the media, right to data, right of affiliation, right to hold public occasions, right to

take an interest in government, right to engage the public authority, private property

privileges, work opportunity, right to well being and clinical consideration, right to

lodging, right to social security, and right to [Link] likewise gives the chance to

partake in political and social exercises by casting a ballot and social association and to

help practicing the [Link] notion of human rights applies to all Filipinos and

prohibits discrimination based on any characteristic, including sex, race, color, or any

other aspects. Despite having all of the human rights and freedoms, The truth remains

that there are widespread human rights violations all around the Philippines which are

largely caused by harmful propaganda from high-ranking officials. The majority of the

people who are mostly victims are suspected drug dealers and users, journalists,

indigenous people and political activists that are lacking sufficient money to have a

lawyer and does not have connections. Extrajudicial killings, power abuse, and enforced

disappearances are some of the major human rights violations in the Philippines.

Although human rights already exist in the Philippines, they should be strengthened for a

variety of reasons, including the reducing the number of extrajudicial killings, and abuse

of authority, as well as improving the justice system.

Strengthening Human rights in the Philippines is the best way to protect the interest and

the well being of every Pilipino individual. Furthermore, by strengthening the law, it is

possible to reduce the number of people killed by government officials without any legal

procedure, to achieve equality for all races and social groups, and to have a fair court

system and by enhancing the human rights law it can helps every citizen in the country

create the kind of society that everyone wants to live in.


The current Human Rights Law still has significant flaws and inconsistencies. The

Extrajudicial killings, one of the most serious violations of Human rights in the country,

It will be reduced if the law is strengthened, and it will bring harmony and assistance to

every Pilipino. The groups that have their own courts and sentence someone to death

without the consent of a previous judgment properly reported by a constituted court that

provides all the legal guarantees will not occur again. Extrajudicial killings, that claimed

a large amount of lives of the Pilipino people can possibly will not happen again due to

the much more respect to the rights and privileges of the citizen. The bill that the officials

pass will be properly examined and investigated to ensure that it does not harm other

citizens and that it promotes equality for all. The Cops and paramilitary organizations that

targets the under privileges and innocent will be punished for abusing the people . The

Well-being, safety, and access to equity that are all important factors in the life of a

citizen will be present in and much more enhance. The past catastrophe that happen

before will not repeat itself once the government strengthens the human rights law,

ensuring that each Pilipino to be protected and secure.

Many are aware that the Philippines has an unfair justice system, particularly for the

poor. The Philippines' court system favors wealthy individuals with numerous

connections and the officials in the court are blinded with the money of rich people that

violated the rights of the fortune less. If the human rights are enhanced,not only the

wealthy personalities will be protected by the laws in this country. Even the poor will

have the same amount of respect as the people of powers. A person with a lot of money,

influence, or clout will be also in prison if they really do a crime .

If a wealthy and poor individual appears in court, they will not be condemned to prison if

they are found not guilty both of them can go home free of the crime. The court will

unbiased and free of corruption and if that happens, Everyone will observe the rules

in the courts and law enforcement institutions are impartial to every social class not just

for the rich and educated person that it will make our government’s law fair to everyone.

The Philippine system can be trusted again if that ever [Link]

underprivileged individuals have experienced more than they ought to have due to the
existing patronage system, in which justice is defined as having enough money to buy

oneself out of any situation. If events like this continue to occur, the Filipino people's

faith in the government will be shattered, and citizens' willingness to participate in

government would [Link] is why we must improve the legislation of human rights and

re-establish the Filipino people's trust in the government in order to improve cooperation

and reduce prejudice. If this is accomplished, the Philippines will be better than ever.

In the Philippine Government, the abuse of power and authority is rampant from Average

to High Ranking Officials and even Organizations. In case the Law of Human rights will

be strengthened ,abuse of power by someone in a position of authority who can use their

influence to mistreat individuals in a low-status position or compel them to submit an

illegal demonstration will no longer [Link] is because the power will be examine and

mistreating individuals that will be against the [Link] Philippine National Police (PNP)

is one of the well-known abusers of authority and power. According to reports, police

stormed into homes and shot unarmed people, including those who were about to

surrender, based on unverified lists of people allegedly using or selling drugs. The police

have a habit of claiming responsibility for the first shots fired and then fabricating

incident reports.

Raids were carried out late at night, no arrests were made, and unarmed people were shot,

directly contradicting police claims. Drugs and weapons were allegedly planted by police

and later claimed as evidence . Many police officers abuse their authority, taking

advantage of unarmed citizens and harming them without cause. We need to improved

the laws and not less of it, and we must uphold human rights for there is no battle more

important today than fighting for the abusers . The human rights is a important enablers

of human development that will create conditions for people to reach their full potential

and realize their worth. If the Human rights is strengthened, it will give everyone the

freedom to make their own decisions in life in order to reach their full potential as a

human being much more and stand with them self without fear of discrimination .If the

human rights are able to ensure the respect, protection, and fulfillment especially the
poorest and the most marginalized the Philippines society and community will be free of

prejudice
