asr-000024Distinguished members of the Committee on Appropriations,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000025my esteemed colleagues in the House of Representatives,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000026Officials and Personnel of the Commission on Human Rights,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000027magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000028Allow me to begin by...
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000029putting the CHR budget in perspective through one figure
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000030that I hope will remain with this committee throughout this day,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000031deliberation of 0.02%.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000032Sa kabuang 7.2 trillion proposed national budget for 2027,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000033the Commission on Human Rights is provided 1.273 billion pesos
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000034under National Expenditure Program,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000035or just 0.02% of the entire national budget.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000036The CHR, however, proposed a total budget of 2.749 billion pesos.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000037Even if Congress were to provide this entire amount,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000038it will still account for only around 0.04% of the national budget,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000039from 0.02% provided under the NEP,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000040to 0.04% if the entire CHR proposal were funded.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000041Ganoon po kaliit ang hinihing bahagi ng Commission on Human Rights
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000042mula sa ating pambansang pundo.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000043Yet the responsibility entrusted to this constitutional institution
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000044is anything but small.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000045The CHR remains among the lowest funded institution of the national government,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000046yet its mandate extends across the country
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000047and touches the lives and rights of every Filipino.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000048We expect the Commission to investigate,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000049allege human rights violations and assist victims.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000050We expect it to monitor jails and other places of deprivation of liberty,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000051help prevent torture and abuse,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000052educate our people about their rights,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000053and advise Congress and government on human rights laws and policies.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000054Habang lumalaki po at nagiging komplikado ang haman sa karapatang pantao,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000055kailangan din po natin tiyakin na meron po tayong sapat na kakayanan
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000056at resources ang institusyong inaatasan ng ating konstitusyon para tumugon sa mga ito.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000057Mga kasama, we cannot continue to demand more from our constitutional institution
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000058without ensuring that it has the resources necessary
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000059to effectively perform the responsibilities to entrust it.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000060And let us also be careful.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000061We need to be clear.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000062The CHR is not advisory of government.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000063Kakampi po natin ang CHR sa mabuting pamamahala.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000064Ang independent and adequately funded CHR helps government identify gaps,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000065prevent abuses, protect vulnerable sectors, and strengthen accountability.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000066When the CHR tells us where government can do better,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000067it helps us build stronger and more accountable,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000068more responsible institutions.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000069This is why the budget before us should not be viewed simply as funding for another government office.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000070When we invest in CHR, we invest in justice, accountability, good governance, and human dignity.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000071Kaya habang sinisimulan po natin ang debilirasyon ito,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000072I ask my distinguished colleagues, tatatlo po tayong nandito ngayon,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000073Consider not only how much? Apat na po ba?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000073-split-2Apat na.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000074consider not only how much we can afford to provide the CHR,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000075but also what we expect the Commission to accomplish with the resources we give.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000076After all, while CHR is provided only 0.02% of our national budget,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000077the right it is constitutionally mandated to protect belongs to
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000078one hundred percent of the Filipino people.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000079With that, may I request the Chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-000080Chairperson Richard Palpal frase
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000085Distinguished Members of the Committee on Appropriations,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000089For most, I would like to thank our budget sponsor, Representative Maria Cristina Talavera Lopez, for her opening statement and continued advocacy and support for the CHR.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000090The CHR's proposed budget aims to strengthen the Commission's delivery of services in line with its constitutional mandate for human rights protection and promotion,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000091prevention of human rights violations in places of deprivation of liberty, and policy advisory services to strengthen the Philippine government's compliance with its human rights obligations.

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000094Let me begin by sharing the CHR's budget allocation and utilization rate.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000095Historically, the CHR's annual obligation rate has averaged 95% since 2019.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000096The CHR strives to maintain its disbursement rate, which has stood at 100%.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000097Since 2024, and by the end of fiscal year 2026, it is estimated that the CHR will be able to maintain similar budget, obligation, and disbursement rates.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000098Now, allow me to present a detailed breakdown of the CHR's proposed budget for the fiscal year of 2027 in comparison with the 2027 National Expenditure Program.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000099As shown in column 3, the CHR's original proposed budget for 2027 is 2.749 billion pesos.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000100A total of 1.173 billion was proposed under Tier 1, while 1.576 billion was proposed under Tier 2.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000101The CHR's total allocation under the 2027 NEP has been reduced by almost 53%,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000102which is equivalent to 1,272,592,000 pesos.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000103As shown in column No. 5, there is a deficit of 1.477 billion in the 2027 NEP proposal compared to the CHR's proposal under Tiers 1 and 2.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000104And this deficit mostly accounts for the Commission's capital outlay for 2027.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000105As such, the breakdown of the CHR's 2027 NEP
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000106is as follows.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000107718,805,000 for personal services plus an additional 61.33 million for RLIP,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000108or a total of 780,138,000.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000109And for the maintenance and other operating expenses, 492,454,000.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000110Of course, the CHR is grateful to the Department of Budget and Management

asr-000124there's an overall decrease of 74,882,000 out of the budget of the CHR.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000125The decrease is primarily due to the lack of capital outlay allocation

asr-000127For MOOE, there is a decrease amounting to a negative variance of 34,888,000.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000323Looking at your budget,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000324isa lang po yung conclusion na pwede nating sabihin.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000325Lagi pong sinasabi namin dito sa Kongreso,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000326ang budget ang pinaka-concrete expression of priority.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000327And in this case,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000328given the massive cut in the proposed,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000329in the actual NEP proposed budget,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000330mukha pong hindi talaga priority na administrasyon ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000331Ang human rights.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000332Sa isang panahon na ina-assail ang human rights,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000333hindi po natin makita yung pagbibigay-prioridad.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000334Batay po sa binigay na budget sa Commission on Human Rights.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000335So, halimbawa po,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000336talaga pong tayo ay nababahala
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000337na kinakailangan nyo pang isama sa wish list nyo

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000341of the CHR.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000342Ibig sabihin po ba nito,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000343kung sakali po na hindi natin maisama
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000344itong wish list number 20 natin,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000345ay hindi mababayaran
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000346ang ating mga job order workers.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000489Sa human rights discourse sa Pilipinas, ang paglilitis kay former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000499So, eto po, may kinreate po kasing task force ang komisyon na nag-review, nag-re-evaluate, nag-reopen ng mga cases.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000500Totaling to 493 reinvestigated cases.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000501140 cases na po yung for disposition nitong task force na ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000502Madam Chair, while we appreciate...
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000503We appreciate the efforts of the CHR in the reopening of these cases.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000504Napapansin lang po kasi ng marami, particular po yung nasa community,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000505that CHR's voice is notably absent from the public discourse surrounding the ICC proceedings of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000506Siguro po, humble appeal to the CHR.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000507Yung drug war victims po and their families deserve to know that the CHR has always stood and will stand with them in their pursuit of justice.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000508Kung naging very vocal po tayo on the issue of rejoining the ICC,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000509sana ganun rin po tayo, ganun ka-vocal sa pag-suporta doon sa mga biktima po ng EJK
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000510na ngayon po ay patuloy na binababoy sa daang mga masasamang puwersa habang ongoing po ang trial ni former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000511I cannot overemphasize the role of CHR in reshaping public discourse on human rights.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000512Alam po natin, tayo ay nasa panahon ng recovery sa ngayon.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000513Sa mahabang panahon po, na-demonize ang human rights sa Pilipinas.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000514At may pagkakatoon po tayo ngayong panahon ito para itama yung pagkakamaling iyon.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000515And we hope that we start that with rectifying these false narratives na ngayon po ay bastalong lumalaganap because of the ongoing ICC trial of former President Duterte.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000516Let me move to the last theme of my questions for this afternoon.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000517The CHR previously announced its intention to strengthen work on the relationship between corruption and human rights.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000518Nag-adapt na po ba tayo ng policies, investigative framework, or strategic plans para i-frame ang corruption bilang isang human rights concern?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000519Yes, Madam Chair. Mayroon na pong ginawang activities and policies on ang Commission.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000520In fact, we conducted two public symposiums on corruption.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000521One on corruption and human rights upang alamin yung interrelation ng corruption and its effect on human rights.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000522Ito po ay ginawa ng Commission at in attendance po dito ay some government agencies and civil society organizations as well as, of course, Your Honor, umattend po kayo doon under the focal chief of Commissioner Beda A. Epres.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000523And one activity is conducted by Commissioner Maria Amifaith S. Fider-Reyes.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000524Madam Chair, thank you very much again for the efforts of the Commission in this area.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000525At siguro po, mahalagang tanungin, para po may pagpatuloy yung trabaho natin dito sa pagbalangkas sa usapin ng korupsyon bilang isang human rights violation at human rights concern, ano po ba yung kailangan resources ng CHR para dito?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000526Yun pong...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000527Siguro po, Madam Chair, ibabalik ko lamang po doon sa aming tier 2 request or proposals pagkat ito po ay makakatulong sa pagtupad ng Commission sa kanyang mandato.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000528Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000529The government and the public must recognize that corruption is a human rights concern.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000530Sa bawat piso na pupunta sa bulsa ng iilan, maraming karapatang pantao ang nilalapastangan.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000531At ito pong ating investment sa Commission on Human Rights.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000532is not just about framing human rights as a civil political issue, but more than that, a socio-economic concern given the massive corruption happening in our country.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000533That's why Akbayan Partylist is fully supportive of restoring the tier 2 proposal of the Commission para po tunay na masabi natin sa Pilipinas, pinahahalagahan natin ang karapatang pantao.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-000534Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000549My distinguished colleagues, a pleasant good afternoon to our family of the Commission on Human Rights, Richard, the chairman, Richard Palpal-latoc.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000557So, thank you, ma'am, for being here.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000558Thank you for my victories, legal victories in your court.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000559And we have Faydah Dumarpa, the daughter of my good friends, the Commissioner,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000560the Congresswoman, Dumarpa, and our Executive Director, the Commissioner, Lawrence Salazar, and all the rest.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000561I am here, Mr. Chairman, to really support the budget of the CHR, including its increase,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000562because I have seen the reduction of the budget of the CHR from last year's level.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000563In fact, Mr. Chairman, I...
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000564I am a co-author of the bill strengthening the CHR.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000565And we hope that this will be passed because I have here my fellow co-authors who are very interested to strengthen the CHR.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000566So, we are here for that.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000567Now, going to the budget, so, as a premise, I support the strengthening of the Commission on Human Rights.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000568But this budget will not strengthen them because we have reduced from 1.3...
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000569million pesos, 1.3 billion. It has now become 1.2 billion, a decrease of 74 million 882 thousand pesos.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000570Does this include the tier 2?
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000571Combined neto?
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000572So, therefore, you wish that the 74 be restored?
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000573And how much is the tier 2?
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000574So, that we can have everything here.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000575So, for tier 1, 74 was removed?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000576Yes.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000577How much is your tier 2?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-0005781.5 billion.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-0005797.6 billion.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000580Okay.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000581Now, we have given the agencies up to Wednesday next week.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000582I belong to the...
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000583I am the vice chair of the Corporations Committee.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000584And can we request you to submit first this tier 1, 74 million,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000585and your...
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000586Majority on the 1.4.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000587We don't think that everything will be given,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000588but you give us the first three,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000589probably amounting to about 300 to 400 million.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000590You have to give us the fiscal space.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000591So, you submit that to our committee chairman Lopez,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000592so that our chairman Lopez here will be able to bring that
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000593in our meeting of the vice chairman after Wednesday next week.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000594Will that be okay with you, Chairman Richard?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000595Yes, Honorable Vice Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000596We appreciate the support of your honor.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000597So, as far as the tier 1, what is given to you,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000598you have a reduction of 34 million.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000599It's very, very important that it be restored.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000600For capital outlay also, zero.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000601What are these for?
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000602For the building or for the transportation?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000603Mostly retrofitting.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000604I see the building.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000605I see the vehicles.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000606That is really required.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000607So, I hope that this one will be 150 to be restored,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000608plus 300 to 400 million of your priority in tier 2.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000609We'll try to have increases here.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000610Because anyway, it is Congress, the power of the purse,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000611and with the vice chairman present here,
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000612we'll be able to...
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000613Can you give us now the first three priorities of tier 2?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000614So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000615The top three priorities.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000616The priorities would be, of course, strengthening the preventive mandate of the Commission.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000617Meron na pong initial increase na binigay ang DBM dito, but we still request na i-grant po yung remaining.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000618And then, how much is that? How much?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000619Ang naiwan po ay around 4 million na lamang.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000620Ang request po namin ay 21, nabigyan po kami ng additional 16.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000621So, mga 5, which we think, the DBM, then. So, mga 5 po yung remaining.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000622Okay. 5 million. Next.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000623For number 2 would be the augmentation of mandatory expenses for the central office and regional offices,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-000633Okay.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000649As well as the Southeast Asia National Human Rights Institution Forum.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000651Sa ngayon po, ang request po namin under Tier 2, only 1.9 million.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000895Thank you, Madam Chair.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000896Well, I don't think I need
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000897to go into details, no,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000898as to the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000899budget of the CHR.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000900Apparently, there's been a
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000901if you would ask me,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000902Madam Chair,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000903the capital outlay is
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000904completely wiped out. Am I correct,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000905Chairman Palato?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000906Yes, Your Honor.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000907That's correct. So, I
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000908just want to make sure that
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000909the CHR
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000910can actually perform its mandate.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000911Kasi, you know,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000912we've been expecting CHR to do a lot
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000913of things, and yet
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000914we are not providing them,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000915we are not arming them
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000916with the necessary and sufficient
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000917funding in order
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000918that they can sufficiently deliver
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000919and do that.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000920their work, no? According to their mandate.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000921That's so unfortunate, looking at
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000922the budget, that
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000923the capital outlay
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000924is completely wiped out.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000925And we're talking about coordination of
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000926CHR with the local government units.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000927How can they do that if they do not
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000928even have the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000929funding for maintenance
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000930of their regional offices, di ba?
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000931I mean, that would be illogical
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000932to say that we're expecting
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000933CHR to do this and to do that,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000934tapos wala naman silang
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000935pondo.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000936Now, just like to
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000937emphasize,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000938Chairman, you mentioned
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000939also about the status

asr-000940of the CHR being part
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000941of the international or global
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000942national alliance
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000943on human rights
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000944coalition.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000945Did I get it correctly?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000946Madam Chair, it's Global Alliance of
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000947National Human Rights Institution,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000948or GANRI.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000949With the reduction
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000950of your budget, how
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000951does this affect
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000952your obligation to the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000953international
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-000955wherein you are supposed
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000958Pinipili lamang po namin kung ano yung
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000959importante yung puntahan
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000960ng komisyon
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000962kadahil sa limitadong budget.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000963Pero kung titignan po natin kasi
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000964napakalawak po ng human rights,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000965we have seven
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000966human rights
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000967treaties po. At lahat pong ito
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc

asr-000976sa human rights committees
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000977na ito. And kung
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000978wala po kaming pondo
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000979for us to participate in this
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000980exercise
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000981sa global as well as regional,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000982of course, mahirapan po at mawawalan
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000983po ng boses ang Pilipinas
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-000984in terms of human rights advocacy.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000985Hindi lang po boses, no,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000986Mr. Chair,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000987Madam Chair. I think
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000988if you recall,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000989in the last State of the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000990Nation address of the President,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000991or I think it was the first son of the President,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000992he mentioned about
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000993the Philippines re-entering again
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000994or reintroducing itself to the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000995global community.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000996I think the premise for the President to
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000997say that, and I'm not
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000998adding words to the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-000999mouth of the President,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001000I think it's mostly on the issue
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001001that prior to this
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001002administration, the Philippines,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001003in terms of its global,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001004you know,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001005the global,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001006how do you call it,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001007yung
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001008standing of the Philippines
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001009when it comes to human rights,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001010it's very, very low.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001011It led to, again,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001012without being,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001013without sounding too political about this,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001014I'm citing this because
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001015it's a matter of fact,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001016it led to the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001017arrest of the former
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001018President, no?
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001019Because in the previous administration,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001020there was really that
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001021damning image of the Philippines
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001022having to resort to killing people,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001023resulting to thousands of lifeless bodies in the streets,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001024and the issue of human rights in the Philippines
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001025has been,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001026you know,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001027tremendously questioned.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001028And not,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001029and this is
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001030diametrically opposed to the fact
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001031that the first executive agency,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001032if I'm not mistaken,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001033I would be embarrassed,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001034if I'm counting this wrongly,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001035I'm seated beside
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001036one of your predecessors,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001037former DOJ Secretary,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001038former CHR chairperson,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001039former Senator Laila de Lima,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001040I'm sure she would correct me,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001041she would probably tap my back
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001042kung nagkakamali ako dito,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001043pero I think this is diametrically opposite
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001044to the fact that
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001045the first executive agency
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001046that was
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001047created,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001048no,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001049in 1986,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001050was the creation of the Commission on Human Rights.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001051Imagine that,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001052ang unang-unang ginawang ahensya
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001053ay Human Rights Commission.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001054Tapos,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001055ang image natin
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001056sa buong mundo
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001057ay naaresto ang ating dating Pangulo
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001058dahil of the human rights violation.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001059So, with that,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001060juxtapose that,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001061to,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001062to the
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001063um,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001064sona of former,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001065ah,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001066of President Bongbong Marcos,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001067that we need to reintroduce
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001068Philippines to the global
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001069and international community.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001070I would suggest, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001071that one of which
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001072is the fact that we need to strengthen
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001073our Human Rights Commission
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001074and their work
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001075to preserve the dignity of every Filipino
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001076man and woman.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001077I mean, that would be
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001078my line of thinking.
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001079Again,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001080I will not go into details,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001081pero this is,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001082ah,
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong
asr-001083I've heard that there have been manifestations

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001241Opo, opo,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001242madagdagan po yung
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001243frequency of visits
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001244kasi po ang strategy po
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001245ng komisyon sa ngayon
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001246because of the limited budget
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001247isinasabay sa mga investigation activities
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001248yung jail visitation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001249So with this dedicated budget
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001250for jail visitation,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001251mas mapapadalas po
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001252at matutugunan yung pagbisita
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001253sa mga places of deprivation of liberty.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001254At isa pa po,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001255dahil po doon sa inilonsad po
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001256ng komisyon na isang programa
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001257yung torture-free facilities
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001258kung saan in-identify po,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001259ng komisyon,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001260yung mga PODs
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001261na may high incidence,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001262reported high incidence
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001263of torture or other cruel
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001264or inhuman treatment or punishment.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001265Mas dinadalasan po yung pagbisita
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001266ng komisyon dito.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001267Dahil po sa limited budget,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001268maliit lang din po yung frequency.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001269Pero because of this,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001270kung pag bumadagdagan po,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001271mas dadalas po yung ating
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001272pagdalaw at pagbisita dito sa mga
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001273places of deprivation of liberty.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001274So tama po no,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001275dahil po sa yung limited budget,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001276kalakhan,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001277ang bisita ay sinasabay na rin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001278sa imbestigasyon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001279Hindi rin po nagagawa yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001280supposedly no mandate na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001281random ang visits.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001282So siyempre,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001283dapat doon po natin makikita yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001284candid picture kung kamusta po yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001285observation respect of human rights.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001286Pero dahil may in-identify po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001287dahil may investigation na mangyayari,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001288parang nahahanda.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001289Tama po ba?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001290Ililinawin ko lamang po yung konteksto.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001291Kasi po ang komisyon po ay may
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001292mandato mag-investiga
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001293ng human rights violation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001294Ito po yung mga kaso
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001295or complaints of human rights violations.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001296Isa po yung prevention,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001297yung jail visitation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001298Ang sinasabi ko po na isinasabay
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001299ay dahil,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001300limited po yung budget,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001301lalo na ng regional offices.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001302Kapag po mayroon silang iniimbestigahan
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001303sa isang lugar,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001304halimbawa sa isang probinsya,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001305kung ano po yung madadaanan nila
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001306mga places of deprivation of liberty
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001307along the way,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001308bibisitahin na po nila.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001309So para matupad pa rin po namin
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001310yung aming mandato sa jail visitation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001311Pero kung mabibigyan po kasi ng
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001312additional budget dedicated for jail visitation,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001313mas makakatutok po ang komisyon
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001314sa kanyang mandato sa jail visitation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001315At tama po kayo,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001316nabanggit nyo kanina yung
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001317stratehiya na kailangan ay mas madalas
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001318at hindi ito announced or
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001319uncoordinated yung pagbisita
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001320upang malaman natin yung totoong sitwasyon.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001321Yun po yung idea,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001322ang dahilan kung bakit namin
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001323itinatagi yung aming torture-free facilities.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001324Kung saan in-identify po na ng komisyon,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001325ano-ano ba yung mga PODs na ito
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001326na merong report na merong high incidence
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001327of torture or inhuman treatment.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001328Para ito yung bibisitahin regularly
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001329and more frequent ng CHR,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001330kasi po ang binabago natin ay kultura.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001331Kultura sa isang place of deprivation of liberty.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001332At hindi po mababago yan sa isang visit lamang.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001333Kundi dapat mas madalas at hindi alam kung saan
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001334mas madalas at hindi alam kung kailan ka darating
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001335upang magbago yung kanilang kultura.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001336Kung paano nila tinatrato ang isang person deprived of liberty.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001337Maaari po bang makahingi ng kopya
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001338at ibigay po sa committee
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001339yung sinasabi po na,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001340well, siguro report tungkol sa mga napansing mga facilities
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001341na mas frequent.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001342Yung human rights violations,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001343yung incidence of torture.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001344At syempre gusto natin na hindi na ito maulit
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001345and through the budget nga na maibibigay ay magawa yan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001346Kaya po ba yun, Mr. Chair?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001347Yes. Yes, Madam Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001348Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001349Important po na magawa po ng CHR yung mandate niya at syempre in support po tayo sa pagtaas ng budget.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001350Lalo na po itong number one dahil ito po yung pinag-uusapan natin ngayon, di ba po?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001351Kamusta po ba yung mga bahay pag-asa para maalagaan yung mga kapakanan ng kabataan?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001352Paano po ba natin may ensure ng ating mga PDLs ay hindi po unduly deprived of their human rights?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001353Kailangan po, nagagawa ng CHR yung mandato sa pag-check
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001354and through the means and measures na mas nagagawa at hindi ito, as you said niya po, uncoordinated.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001355My next question is in relation to the 2025 National Inquiry of the CHR on red-tagging.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001356So this representation welcomes the executive summary na nirelease po ng CHR
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001357na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001358report niya po that it remains an entrenched systemic practice that acts as a precursor to physical harassment,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001359arbitrary detention, and extrajudicial killings.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001360And meron pong preliminary recommendations ang CHR included po doon yung criminalizing yung red-tagging
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001361which this representation has filed a bill for.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001362So we eagerly await the full report but habang hinihintay po natin yun,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001363gusto po natin itanong sa commission.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001364Given that the findings say that red-tagging acts as an immediate precursor to arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killings,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001365how much po sa MOOE ninyo, kung meron man,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001366ang directly allocated to operationalized rapid response legal deployment teams,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001367especially for rural and conflict-afflicted areas where access to counsel is severely limited?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001368Hingi lang po ako ng permiso, Madam Chair, to check our...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001369Wala po kasi kaming budget dedicated for red-tagging.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001370For it right now. Dahil bago rin po yung...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001371Opo. Naka-lump po siya sa aming protection service.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001372Ang total po kasi ng aming budget, allotment for protection program ay 323,278,000.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001373Ito po yung...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001374kabuuan ng Human Rights Protection Service.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001375So kung yung kabuuan, ibig po sabihin nito ay investigation,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001376legal services, legal assistance,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001377forensic services,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001378witness assistance and protection,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001379and then,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001380humahati pa po dyan yung budget for the prevention service, yung pong jail visitation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001381So, hindi po ako makapagbibigyan.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001382Hindi po ako makapagbibigyan ng exact figure dedicated for this activity na tinatanong po ninyo, Your Honor.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001383But, to give you the figure in totality, yun po siya.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001384Protection service. Kabuuan po ito ng protection program ng komisyon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001385And siguro, tanong ko na lang din po, given na may report po tayo,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001386and then may recommendations tayo,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001387bahagi po ba yung recommendations, yung pagbuuan ng protocols or guidelines,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001388kung paano po gamitin yung pondo na ito para po mag-rapid response kung kailangan po?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001389Yes po. Kasama po yun sa recommendation and of course, the strategy of the commission.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001390Maaari po bang makahingi din po ng kopya ang representation na ito through the committee
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001391kung nabuo na po yung guidelines?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001392Yes. Opo. I-submit po namin yung ito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001393Thank you very much. And siguro, ang final manifestation ko na lang din po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001394dahil red tagging also increasingly operates through digital platforms, doxing, deepfix, and coordinated online campaigns,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001395may funding po din sanang allocated and guidelines provided towards digital forensic tools, cyber threat monitoring systems,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001396and secure database infrastructure to preserve digital evidence.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001397Lalo na po mas nakikita natin yung state-backed vilification.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001398And of course, similarly sa pagtingin at pag-alam natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001399na may mga areas na mas frequent yung human rights violations or even yung incidents of torture.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001400I'm sure that is also the case for red tagging.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001401For example, may mas high-risk regions like Southern Tagalog, Bicol, Negros, Northern Mindanao, na statistically higher sila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001402So maaari po sana ma-consider yung internal allocation formula na, syempre, gusto natin spread out yung mga,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001403puwersa, recurso natin. Pero ang reality ay may mga iilang regions na mas kailangan ng focus.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001404Ang dulo naman po nito, Madam Chair, nakikita natin na ang human rights situation sa Pilipinas,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001405hindi po natin nakikita yung improvement.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001406And so, yung mas dagdag na pondo, suporta sa CHR, at lalo na rin po yung sa pag-capacitate at pag-empower ng mga civil society organizations,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001407people's organizations,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001408na mapag-aralan nila kung ano yung human rights nila, mapanghawakan, maprotektahan nila nang sama-sama yung instrument and key
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001409para po malabanan yung systematic violations na nararanasan natin ngayon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-001410That's all, Madam Chair. Maraming salamat po. And of course, tuloy-tuloy po sana ang gawain ng CHR.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001411Thank you, Representative Ko, for your manifestation of support, of course.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001412Before we proceed, I would like to recognize
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001413our former President, Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of Pampanga.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001414And also, Representative J. Vergara of Nueva Ecija.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001415Nandito rin po kasama natin si Representative Sara Ilago of Gabriela Partilis.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001416Moving forward po, from majority, I would like to recognize Representative J. Vergara.
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001417Thank you, Madam Chair.
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001418Simple lamang po.
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001419Magandang hapon po sa inyo, CHR family.
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001420In deference to my uncle, who was a chairperson.
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001421Ang pangalan po niya ay Atty. Sedfrey Ordoñez.
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001422At naging chairperson po ng CHR,
Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara
asr-001423nagmamanifest lang po ako ng buong pusong suporta sa inyo. Maraming salamat po.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001424Maraming salamat po, Kong.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001425Thank you. Talagang yan lang po ang ipinunta po dito ni Representative Vergara para sa manifestation of support.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-001426Next, from minority, Senior Deputy Minority Leader, Laila de Lima. You are recognized.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001427Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair. Good afternoon to everyone. Good afternoon to my colleagues. Good afternoon to the CHR family.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001428Alam niyo, I was looking at the faces and mukhang dalawa o tatlo na lang yung mga familiar faces sa akin.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001429O lima pala.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001430Lima pala because most of them, I think, have retired already and they are really new faces.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001431Including, of course, the chairperson and the commissioners of the commission.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001432Well, some of my questions have been touched already.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001433Although, I came here also to express my full, to manifest my full support for the budget of the CHR
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001434and to appeal for the restoration of
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001435of whatever it needed to be restored.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001436You're the Tier 2. You're Tier 2 proposals.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001437Para sa akin kasi, this committee must look at the CHR budget
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001438not simply as another item in the NEP,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001439but as an investment in the constitutional guarantees that protect every Filipino.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001440And in a democracy, Madam Chair, there can be no more important investment
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001441than the protection, promotion, and prevention of human rights.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001442Ang unang tanong ko po, we all know the three core mandates of the CHR.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001443These are the three P's.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001444Prevention, protection, and promotion.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001445Which of these three core mandates that CHR has been experiencing a lot of challenges?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001446In terms of resources and in terms also of implementation of your core programs
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001447and activities.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001448And if you're experiencing those challenges, can you tell us why exactly?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001449Madam Chair, thank you for the question.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001450In terms of resources, the most challenging mandate of the Commission would be the prevention service.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001451As I mentioned earlier, the prevention service is sharing budget with the protection service.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001452There was no dedicated allocation for the prevention service
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001453except for a small chunk from the protection service.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001454So that's why I was saying earlier that our field investigators would include jail visits
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001455when they proceed to conducting investigation in the field.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001456So aside from the investigation,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001457they conduct those visitations?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001458Yes, ma'am.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001459Para makatipid?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001460Para makatipid.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001461What else?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001462In the prevention itself, your cases, are there backlogs?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001463Cases?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001464Yes.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001465We have actually resolved the majority of the case backlogs of the Commission.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001466So from 28,000 cases,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001467from 1987 to 2025,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001468we have resolved 95.8% of the backlog cases.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001469And that would translate to around 27,000 cases concluded by the CHR.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001470So we have a pending case of around 1,200 backlog cases.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001471Okay.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001472What about the drug war killings?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001473What is the status of the investigation of the CHR?
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001474I have not been aware of any updates on the status of investigation into drug war killings
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001475because I suppose in spite of the ICC,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001476CHR continues to do its own investigation of these drug war killings.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001477And in conjunction especially with the DOJ,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001478yung AO35 na minensyon nyo kanina,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001479it's good to know that you are still supporting
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001480that.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001481And what exactly is the role of the CHR in the AO35 mechanism?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001482So, thank you Madam Chair, Your Honor.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001483In terms of the drug war cases,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001484majority of the cases when we assumed office have already been concluded.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001485So when we assumed office,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001486we decided to reinvestigate some of the cases
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001487because of the challenges experienced by our investigators.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001488During that time.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001489So as of today,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001490there are already 493 cases for reinvestigation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001491And our task force has concluded 289 cases related to the drug war.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001492You mentioned reinvestigation?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001493Reinvestigated.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001494Because as I mentioned,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001495there were challenges encountered by the Commission
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001496during that time in terms of...
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001497Those resolved cases have been forwarded already to the DOJ.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001498Most of them were dismissed actually
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001499because of lack of evidence.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001500The challenges as I mentioned are
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001501the hostile environment,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001502non-cooperation of the victims or families of victims and witnesses,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001503non-provision of documents with the Philippine National Police.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001504So...
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001505I would note the very low disposition of cases of the drug war killings,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001506even in the DOJ.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001507Only a few are being pursued because of the same reasons or grounds that you just cited.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001508May I know the position of the CHR on the rejoining of the Philippines in ICC?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001509It's a consistent position actually, Madam Chair,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001510of the Commission on Human Rights for the State to rejoin the ICC.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001511It's an additional guarantee or assurance of accountability on human rights violation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001512So, we have been issuing statements to the effect that encourage the State to rejoin the ICC.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001513And only on those special kinds of cases,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001514the crimes against humanity, genocide, etc.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001515So, you have absolutely no reservation about the Philippine government rejoining
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001516or Philippines rejoining as a State party to the Rome Statute.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001517As for the NTFL,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001518because red-tagging has been mentioned earlier,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001519is there any oversight function
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001520or does the CHR exercise oversight function
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001521of the NTFL?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001522No, Your Honor.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001523We don't have oversight function over the NTFL.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001524And that's not at all possible?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001525I don't think so because it's a whole of government approach.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001526It's a whole of government approach because we're talking here about government projects.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001527Yes.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001528Although, basically, I do not agree with that,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001529that we should really have NTFL because it should be the government agencies concerned,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001530the relevant government agencies,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001531that should be implementing those projects,
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001532those programs and projects.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001533That's why we're talking about red-tagging.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001534Yes.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001535attributed also to NTF-ELCAC. So in spite of that, you don't have any intention of
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001536getting it into your work as oversight?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001536-split-2Basically, because we don't have oversight
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001537function over the NTF-ELCAC.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001537-split-2Over the NTF-ELCAC, even in your general monitoring and compliance, the government's
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001538compliance with this treaty obligations, we can go in there?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001538-split-2Yes, that's part of the work of the Commission, to monitor the compliance of the government.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001539But in terms of oversight, we don't have it because it's under the Office of the President and we are an independent institution.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001540So what we can do is to monitor, only to monitor the activities and investigate if there are violations.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima
asr-001541Okay, since I still have time, one minute and 45 seconds, I might as well also ask about the Human Rights Violations Victims Memorial Commission.
Rep. Leila M. de Lima

Rep. Leila M. de Lima

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001627another function
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001629does your
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001630function also include
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001631monitoring government agencies' compliance with laws.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001632For instance, the compliance of RA 9710 or the Magna Carta on Women.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001633Is that also part of your function?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001634Yes, Your Honor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001635So, are you closely monitoring the Philippine Commission on Women
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001636in their monitoring of the compliance of government agencies
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001637in the requirement of RA 9710?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001638Do we have findings or reports about that?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001639Thank you, Madam Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001640You're right. We have a connection with the Philippine Commission on Women.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001641And aside from that, we also do gender-based violence mapping of local government units.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001642And also, the monitoring of Barangay Baudesk, Violence Against Women Desk.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001643So, I forgot, I missed the other question.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001644Yes. Yung isa po kasing problema natin diyan from the last report that I saw from the Philippine Commission on Women,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001645madami pong government agencies ang hindi pa rin compliant doon sa requirement ng RA 9710.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001646So, meron po ba tayong ginagawa kapag
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001647um,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001648consistently,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001649ang nakikita po kasi natin, consistent yung failure to comply with the requirements of the law.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001650Parang taon-taon po talaga hindi nagagawa.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001651So ano po ang pwedeng magawa ng CHR diyan?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001652Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair, Your Honor.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001653Ang ginawa po ng Commission at ng PCW dito sa aspetong ito ay
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001654nag-issue po kami jointly with the PCW
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001655ng notice po sa mga agencies upang sila ay magpaliwanag kung bakit hindi nila
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001656nasusunod, natutupad yung requirements ng batas.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001657Meron na po bang mga paliwanag? Do we have anything na?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001658Ongoing po, kailan po?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001658-split-2This year po namin nagawa yun. So siguro ongoing po, wala po kasi akong data sa ngayon.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001659Ongoing po yung pasok siguro ng mga compliance ng mga government agencies dito.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001660We'll just provide update po kung ano man po yung merong available sa amin sa ngayon.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001661Yes po. Siguro ang pakiusap ko na lamang po sa CHR na maging medyo ano po tayo,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001662stricto siguro this time kasi antagal-tagal.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001663na po nung batas. Hindi po nako-comply talaga yung nakasaad doon.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001664Maybe it's about time that maging seryoso po tayo sa paghahabol sa mga ahensya
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001665to comply with the provisions of the law.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001666So my last question would be, Madam Speaker, yung budget cut from your original proposal
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001667to the NEP level, will that significantly affect the function and role of the CHR
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001668as the gender ombud?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001669Bago ko lang po sagutin, balikan ko lamang po yung kanina una on the compliance of government agencies.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001670So ang isa pong strategy na ginawa ng commission ng CHR at ng PCW is we come up with a memorandum of agreement
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001671para kami po ay we can jointly monitor the compliance of these government agencies under the Magna Carta of Women.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001672Ngayon po dun sa inyong...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001673sumunod na katanungan, as I said, katulad po ng mga tanong kanina na nauna,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001674of course, maapektuhan po yung aming serbisyo dahil sa budget and resources.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001675Dahil patuloy, ito po ay regular nang naging problema ng komisyon
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001676and we learned to adapt, actually, kung paano namin gagamitin yung meager resources of the commission.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001677But of course, it would help.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001678if the Congress would grant us additional budget for this.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001679Especially kung dedicated po, ang budget po ay dedicated for the compliance as the gender ombud,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001680mas makakatulong po ng gusto.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001681In fact, sa mga previous budget deliberation in previous years po,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001682isa po ito sa mga hinahilayit ng komisyon,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001683yung mga special laws providing additional mandates.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001684to the commission na wala pong additional budget na binibigay.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001685Yun po.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001686Patuloy pa rin namin hihingin, kung sakali pong, if you would be generous enough to grant the CHR budget
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001687for these special laws or special mandates provided to us.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001688Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-001689Madam Chair, I therefore join our colleagues in their call

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001724At lahat po ng ating mga centers sa ilalim po ng CHR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001725Paano humaapektuhan ang trabaho ng mga centers na ito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001759Ngayon naman, Madam Chair, tungkol ho sa mga naisagawang community,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001760mga community dialogues, mga community-based dialogues.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001761Ang mga regional at local, ang mga regional offices po ba natin sa buong bansa
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001762ay nakapagsagawa ng ganitong tipo ng mga dialogues?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001763Yes po, Madam Chair, Your Honor.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001764Kasama po sa mga regular activities ng ating mga regional offices,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001765ang community-based dialogues.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001766Ilan po yung mga participants at mga naaabot ng mga dialogues na ito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001767At kung meron din kayong information,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001768sa mga NGOs, civil society organizations na naaabot natin pagdating sa mga diyalogo na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001769Mahalaga ito, Madam Chair, kasi ito yung magtitiyak na nakalapat sa katotohanan
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001770kung ano man yung mga programa, proyekto, aktividad na sinasagawa ng CHR,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001771lalong-lalo na sa pagtindig para sa karapatang pantao.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001772For 2025 po, nakapagsagawa po ang komisyon ng 34 community-based dialogues.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001773Sa ngayon po, as of June 2026, mayroon na po tayo nagawang 16 community-based dialogues.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001774Hindi po ako makapagbigay ng actual na bilang ng kung ilan yung participants,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001775but based on our promotion activities, kasi kasama po sa mga CBDs namin ay promotion activities,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001776meron po kaming talang 122,950 individuals who participated in promotion activities.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001777In 2025, sa ngayon po, as of June 2026, meron na pong 51,716 individuals.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001778Maraming salamat, Madam Chair, at marami tayong naaabot.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001779Pero kung itutumbas din natin ito, kung makikita po natin yung ulat ng CHR para sa Human Rights Education Program,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001780malaki talaga na limitation yung kulang na pondo pagdating sa pag-abot sa mas malawak pa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001781Kasi bagamat marami, nasa libo na.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001782Pero milyong-milyong mga Pilipino pa yung hindi naaabot ng ganitong tipo ng mga programa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001783Kaya nais ko rin malaman kung may pag-uusap ba sa ngayon sa DepEd, sa CHED,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001784at sa mga institutions natin na ma-integrate din yung Human Rights Education.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001785Alam ko, Madam Chair, may mga panukala dito sa Kongreso para ma-institutionalize ang Human Rights Education,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001786pero sa bahagi ngayon ng CHR, meron na ba tayong mga existing na mga partnerships sa iba't ibang institutions
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001787para mapalakas ang ating Human Rights Education Program?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001788Unang-una po, Madam Chair, Your Honor, unang-una po, patuloy po yung ugnayan natin with the Commission on Higher Education
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001789and DepEd on Human Rights Education, including the review of the curriculum ng mga kurso.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001790So, on the part of the...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001791On the part of the Commission on Human Rights, yun po palang ugnayan na yun with the DepEd and CHED
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001792ay kasama po ang may initiative po ang Commission on Human Rights as well as HRBBMC
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001793para maging part ng curriculum.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001794On, of course, for MEMCOM, yung pong martial law, ang CHR naman as the general concept of human rights.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001795On the part of...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001796On the part of the Commission on Human Rights, we have existing partnership with higher educational institutions all over the Philippines.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001797Ang tawag po namin sa kanila ay Center for Human Rights Education.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001798Partnership po ito with this higher educational institution for human rights promotion and research.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001799Then, we also have...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001800Ongoing discussion with the Philippine Association of Law Schools on the inclusion of...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001801Collaboration with the PALS on human rights activities and promotions.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001802Madam Chair, hingin na lang po natin yung ulat na tungkol sa extension of services or outreach efforts po natin
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001803para ma-enjoy pa yung...
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001804Public at private actors sa human rights education.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001805Ngayon naman ho, sa naulat nyo kanina, nasa 800 plus yung cases na lumapit ho sa inyo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001806na may kinalaman sa gender-based violence.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001807Lahat ho ba ito ay may kinalaman sa state-perpetrated, state-sponsored or condoned
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001808by any means na type ng violence against women and all genders?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001809Hindi po.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001810So, kailangan natin i-disaggregate yung data.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001811Kasi, halo po ito, merong state actor or state sanctioned or state agent.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001812Meron, karamihan dito actually ay private individuals ang respondents.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001813Pero dahil kasama po sa mandato natin na tignan, yung due diligence, compliance ng ating pamahalaan
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001814on the protection and promotion of human rights.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001815At kasama po sa inaimbestigaan ng komisyon ito.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001816So, ang objective would be to determine kung sapat po ba yung mga mekanismo at mga solusyon at tugon
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001817na ginagawaan ng ating pamahalaan sa mga kaso ng paglabag ng karapatan ng kababaihan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001818Madam Chair, kukunin ho natin yung disaggregated data at tungkol dito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001819Pero para sa mga kaso halimbawa na state-perpetrated or state-sponsored,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001820lahat ho ba ng mga kaso na lumalapit sa inyo ay nadidispose po natin agad, na-address po natin agad?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001821O may mga challenges pa ho?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001822Halimbawa, pag natitiyak natin na mapapatawag ang dapat mapatawag,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001823nagagawa ho ba ito? At meron bang nananagot?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001824Yes po, nagagawa naman po ito at natatapos din agad.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001825Although, katulad nung nabanggit ko kanina, Madam Chair, Your Honor,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001826tinutukan po ng komisyon yung backlog.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001827From 1987 to 2025, more than 20,000 or almost 30,000 cases po ito.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001828So, pagkatapos po yan, mas makakatutok na kami sa mga current cases na nasa around 2,942 cases na lamang po tayo.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001829So, mas mapapabilis na po yung investigation and conclusion of the investigation of these cases.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001830Maraming salamat po sa paghabon ng backlog at malaki po ang magagawa kung ma-restore yung pondo.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001831Hindi nga lang ma-restore dun sa previously approved, pero matiyak po natin na madadagdagan yung pondo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001832para sa human rights protection promotion, education, at mga policy-related programs.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001833Bilang panghuli po sa kalagayan ng mga human rights defenders, may mga kababaihan po na dumulog at naghahin ng complaint,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001834ng reklamo sa harap ng CHR.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001835Tungkol po sa presence ng mga civil-military operations battalion dito mismo sa National Capital Region
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001836na nagkakaroon po ng mga kaso ng profiling, surveillance, at threats at intimidation.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001837Meron na po bang ulat ang CHR tungkol dito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001838At ano po po yung mga kailangan natin para mapalakas po yung paggampa ng mandato?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001839Ang CHR pagdating sa ganitong tipo ng mga kaso?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001840Wala po akong actual data sa ngayon nung tinutukoy po ninyong kaso or insidente.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001841We'll just provide it to you, Your Honor, Madam Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001842Kung yung pong tinatanong po ninyo, ano pa ang dapat gawin upang mapalakas?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001843Ang isa po sa mga pinaplano ng komisyon ay isang national preventive mechanism,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001844national protection mechanism.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001845Tatlo pong pinaplano.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001846Pillars ito ng protection mechanism for human rights defenders.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001847Pillar one would be the early warning system o tawag po namin ay bantay
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001848upang agad-agad naming matukoy ang mga human rights violations at agad din kami makatugon.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001849Ang pangalawa pong pillar nito ay the protection mechanism itself.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001850Yun po yung mga existing activities and programs of the commission.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001851Which include investigation, witness protection and support to victims.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001852At ang pangatlo po yung national monitoring mechanism
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001853kung saan ang tawag po namin sa pillar na yun ay tugon or gabay.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001854Ang objective po nun ay policy recommendation.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001855Ang objective po ay pulungin ang mga stakeholders including government agencies and civil society
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001856upang pag-usapan kung ano ang problema sa karapatang pantao at hanapan ng solusyon
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001857kung ano man yung pupwedeng tugunan agad-agad or ano yung pupwedeng unti-unting ma-address.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001858ating pamahalaan. So, three prong
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001859tatlopong pillars ng National
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001860Protection Mechanism. Hopefully,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001861sa ngayon po kasi
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001862ginagawa na namin ito,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001863iniintroduce na namin itong
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001864protection mechanism na ito, and hopefully
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001865we could be successful
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-001866in implementing them.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001867Madam Chair, pang huli na po,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001868papayagan po ba ng
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001933Chair,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001934Chair, yung tanong ko, kaugnay sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001935war on drugs,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001936Duterte war on drugs,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001937and impunity.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001938No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001939Last year,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001940sinare ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001941Commission on Human Rights
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001942na meron kayong sariling
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001943inulunsad na investigasyon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001944sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001945drug war at sa extrajudicial
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001946killings related
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001947to the bogus war on drugs.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001948ng Duterte.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001949Sa panahong ito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001950ay nasa ICC na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001951si dating
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001952Pangulong Duterte.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001953Tapos, of course, subsequently, meron
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001954pang warrant of arrest
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001955para sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001956well, yung dati niyang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001957PNP chief,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001958ngayon senador,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001959na nagtatago.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001960So, tinuturing
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001961na tagumpayan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001962in terms of pagpapanagot,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001963for crimes against humanity.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001964Pero,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001965napakalaki pa ng trabaho
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001966na kailangan gawin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001967para panagutin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001968yung mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001969opisyal
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001970na aktual na nagpatupad
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001971ng patakaran,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001972down to the ground level,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001973yung aktual na mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001974members ng PNP
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001975at iba pa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001976na pumatay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001977No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001978So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001979ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001980bakit mahalaga ito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001981Dahil,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001982kung sakali
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001983na makabalik ang Duterte
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001984sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001985gobyerno
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001986at posibilidad yan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001987dahil, of course, kung ayon sa mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001988survey, another Duterte
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001989is leading. So, kung sakali
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001990bumalik,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001991of course, ayaw natin mangyari
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001992na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001993i-debate,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001994ibalik muli ang patakaran
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001995ng War on Drugs.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001996Lalo pa ngayon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001997at
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001998nag-withdraw na sa ICC
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001999ang Pilipinas at mukhang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002000ayon sa pahayag ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002001Pangulo, ay wala siyang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002002intensyon na ibalik ang Pilipinas
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002003o sumali muli
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002004sa ICC.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002005So, kaya importante na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002006ngayon pa lamang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002007ay imbestigahan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002008at kasuhan

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002018sa posisyon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002457We will be complying, Madam Chair.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002458Okay, noted po, Representative Sara.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002459Since wala na pong another colleagues na magtatanong from majority and minority,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002460babasahin ko po, CHR, yung pong mga questions from our accredited NGOs, Civil Society Organization.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002461So for the record lang po, kahit po ito ay nasagot na natin kanina,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002462pakiulit lamang po ng kasagutan sa itatanong po ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002463For Fiscal Year 2027, Budget Shortfall and Requested Augmentation.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002464Galing po ito sa Caucus of Development NGO Networks.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002465May the CHR state for the record the total budget it proposed to the DBM for Fiscal Year 2027
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002466and the amount recommended for the CHR.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002467Under the 2027 National Expenditure Program, what is the resulting shortfall?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002468Both in peso and percentage terms, and what reason, if any, did the DBM communicate for the reduction or exclusion?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002469Which proposed expenditures under personal services, MOEs, and capital outlays were deducted or excluded?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002470What concrete effects will this have on
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002471CHR's investigations, legal and protection assistance,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002472detention facility visits, human rights education, regional operations, and response to urgent cases.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002473Which items does the CHR respectfully request Congress to restore or augment?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002474If what specific amounts and what measurable improvements in services and outputs
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002475would additional funding
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002476enable?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002477You are recognized, Chairperson Richard Palpal-latoc.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002478Thank you, Madam Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002479Can you?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002480So, for the resulting shortfall,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002481from tier 1,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-0024821 billion 173 million 237.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002483Sa NEP
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-0024841.272 billion pesos.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002485Pero po sa 2026 GAA, kung kukumpara po natin, ay 1.374 billion.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002486Sa tier 2 naman, or 0.02%, ay hindi.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002487Sorry, I'm sorry Madam Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002488So mayroon pong variance na from the total proposal, a reduction of 53% from the NEP.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002489Dahil po ang hiningi po ng Commission ay 2.749 billion, ang binigay po sa NEP ay 1.272 billion.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002490Ang natanggal po dito, naapektoan po dito ay capital outlay na 152 million affecting infrastructure, ICT, equipment, software, and transport or vehicle, motor vehicle.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002491Then sa MOOE, nabawasan po siya ng 34 million.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002492Due to decrease in the ISSP, then, so a total of 152 million for capital outlay, then for MOOE, 34 million po.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002493May namiss pa po ba?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002494Okay, for our next question, pa rin po, from Caucus of Development NGO Networks.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002495Staffing and operational capacity.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002496May the CHR provide the authorized filled and vacant work positions in each central and regional office,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002497including the staffing complement and workload of each regional office,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002498and which regions are operating below the minimum staffing required to discharge CHR mandate effectively.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002499How does insufficient staffing affect response times, case backlogs,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002500investigation,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002501monitoring coverage,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002502and services for victims of human rights violations?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002503What additional positions and corresponding FY2027 appropriation are required to provide every regional office with an adequate operational complement?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002504Mr. Chairperson Richard Palpal-latoc, you are recognized.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002505Thank you, Madam Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002506So, the CHR's constitutional mandate,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002507is nationwide.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002508But,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002509its effectiveness depends heavily on the capacity of its regional offices,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002510which are often the first point of contact for victims,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002511families,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002512human rights defenders,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002513persons deprived of liberty,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002514local governments,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002515and communities.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002516So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002517definitely,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002518insufficient staffing can directly affect the speed of complaint intake,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002519investigation,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002520legal assessment,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002521field monitoring,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002522detention visits,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002523human rights,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002524education,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002525report preparation,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002526and follow-up with duty bearers.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002527So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002528in 2026,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002529the Commission was able to significantly reduce the backlog cases due to the firm guidance of the Commission.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002530However,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002531the regional offices still fall behind with considerable amount of backlog cases.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002532Due to lack of manpower,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002533which is one of the reasons,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002534so,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002535ito pong mga region na ito,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002536Region 4B,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002537Region 7,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002538and
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002539Negros Island Region.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002540In the case of Region 4B,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002541the geographical challenges has been one of the major hindrances,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002542kasi po,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002543island provinces po,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002544karamihan ng mga,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002545ng jurisdiction ito.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002546And then,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002547investigators and lawyers have to travel
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002548from the central office to investigate.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002549Then,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002550for insufficient staffing directly,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002551limits the capacity of regional offices to respond promptly and consistently to alleged human rights violations.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002552So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002553fewer investigators,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002554lawyers,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002555monitoring officers,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002556and victim support personals than required,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002557increases initial response and case processing times,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002558particularly when personnel must travel to geographic locations,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002559particularly dispersed or high-risk areas.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002560So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002561the staffing situation of the regional office may not be fully reflected
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002562by the number of vacant positions alone.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002563Even where substantially all existing authorized positions are filled,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002564there remains an opportunity to improve operational capacity
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002565through a more balanced distribution of technical,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002566professional,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002567and administrative support personnel.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002568So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002569in this respect,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002570the concern is less,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002571the existence of vacancies and more,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002572the extent to which the present staffing pattern allows substantive personnel
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002573to concentrate on the functions for which they are primarily appointed.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002574So,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002575we'll just,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002576if the chairperson would allow,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002577we'll just submit the numbers of the personnel actually occupying the position in different regions.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002578Okay,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002579noted on that,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002580chairperson.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002581For our last question,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002582po.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002583From Caucus of Development NGO Networks,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002584ma rin po.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002585CHR oversight on NTF,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002586ELCAC,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002587and the support to the Barangay Development Program.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002588The fiscal year 2027 NEP proposes approximately
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-0025899.74 billion for the local government support fund,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002590support to the Barangay Development Program of the NTF-ELCAC.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002591Considering the scale and geographical,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002592reach of this program,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002593what additional demands does its implementation place on CHR monitoring,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002594investigation,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002595protection and human rights education functions,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002596particularly on conflict-affected and remote communities?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002597Based on CHR monitoring and cases,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002598what requiring human rights risks or concern,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002599if any,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002600should Congress consider in reviewing this appropriation?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002601Does CHR have sufficient personnel and operational resources,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002602especially in its regional offices,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002603to undertake independent monitoring,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002604investigate complaints,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002605assist affected persons and engage communities?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002606If not,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002607what specific additional appropriation does the CHR require?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002608Finally,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002609what safeguards,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002610transparency,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002611measures and reporting requirements,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002612does the CHR recommend that Congress include
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002613in the relevant appropriations to ensure objective beneficiary selection,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002614non-discrimination,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002615due process,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002616meaningful community participation,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002617protection against red-tagging,

asr-002618and retaliation,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002619effective access,
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002620and oversight by the CHR?
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002621You are recognized.
Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez
asr-002622Chairperson Richard Palpal-latoc.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002623Thank you, Madam Chair.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002624So, as men, as...
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002625Already answered before when Congressman Laila de Lima asked.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002626We don't have, the CHR does not have oversight function over the NTF-ELCAC.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002627So we don't have administrative or programmatic oversight of the NTF-ELCAC or the support to the Barangay Development Program.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002628The NTF-ELCAC is an executive mechanism and the implementation and financial administration of the support to the Barangay Development Program are functions of the executive branch.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002629What we can do is, as I said, monitor the compliance of the government to human rights obligations
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002630and ensure that in the performance of the NTF-ELCAC,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002631of its mandate, there's no human rights violation committed.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002632And then what additional demands?
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002633The principal additional demand of the CHR is not the monitoring of the SBDP as a program,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002634but the increased possibility of human rights concern arising in geographically isolated,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002635conflict-affected, and otherwise vulnerable communities.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002636Where access to
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002637Government institutions and remedies may already be difficult.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002638So in practical terms, this may require CHR's regional offices to undertake more field-based monitoring,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002639receive and assess complaints, conduct fact-finding and field investigations,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002640provide or facilitate appropriate legal and protective assistance,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002641document alleged violation, and conduct human rights education and community engagement.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002642Based on the CHR's monitoring,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002643complaints and public inquiries,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002644the recurring risks that Congress should consider may include
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002645widespread and systemic vilification of human rights defenders
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002646or red-tagging involving malicious utterances or unfounded information
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002647that imputes one's participation in a criminal act or involvement in an ongoing armed conflict,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002648ultimately impacting the right to life, liberty, security, privacy,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002649and the freedom of expression and association.
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002650And the staffing and budget,
CHR Chairperson Richard P. Palpal-latoc
asr-002651we reiterate our manifestation a while ago regarding our Tier 2 proposal, Your Honor, Madam Chair.
