The Duterte gov't is turning the law against the very voices promoting the rights of the Philippine people and trying to intimidate voices against the gov't. Today, my colleagues and I intro'd a resolution to condemn human rights abuses in the Philippines.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/business/media/maria-ressa-arrested-philippines-rappler.html …
This bipartisan resolution makes it clear that the U.S. Congress seeks an immediate improvement in the government’s behavior and the end of efforts to weaponize the rule of law against brave individuals like Senator Leila de Lima and Maria Ressa.https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senators-markey-rubio-durbin-blackburn-coons-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-highlighting-human-rights-concerns-in-the-philippines …
Senator, I would like to advice your excellence to kindky check facts before you make a statement against our President, and to remind you that for as long as we filipinoes dont ask any kind of help, you should respect what our leader is doing.
Why meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign country whose judicial system is clearly intact? You have your own human rights issues in the US and you dip your dirty little fingers in my country?! What's up with that?! You know nothing about the PH!
Where do you get the audacity to meddle with the internal affairs of the Philippines? We’re no longer in the Colonial Period. You are weaponizing the human rights idea to stop the political development of my country for the sake of your country’s own interest
Thank you @SenMarkey and your colleagues for this bipartisan resolution in support of Sen Leila de Lima. It is a big help not only for her quest for redemption but also for the bigger quest of shattering the conspiracy of fear in the Philippines.
