Karapatang Pantao, Ikasampu ng Disyembre
ni Gregorio V. Bituin Jr.
15 pantig bawat taludtod
Karapatang Pantao, ikasampu ng Disyembre
Araw ng taon, paggunita sa dangal at puri
May proseso ang bawat pagkatao ng marami
Pagkat iba-iba ang kultura ng bawat lipi
Marapat nating ipagtanggol ang ating sarili
Laban sa sinumang sa atin ay nang-aaglahi
Ang ginawa ni V ay di dapat ibintang kay G
Iwaksi na yaong ang mga asal ay kadiri
Sa sala ni X, bakit nagdurusa’y si Y at Z
Hindi natin dapat ihasik yaong maling binhi
Dapat loob natin ay nabubuhay sa mabuti
Ito ang sa araw ng karapata’y aking bati!

Tagsibol nang siya’y isinilang,
ngunit ni dampi ng Diyosa’ng
namumukadkad,
o ‘di kaya’y malanghap
ang kanyang halimuyak
ipinagkait,
ng berdugong mandaragit,
halang at kasuklam-suklam.
Tagpunla ng siya’y namulat,
ngunit bago pa man mahawakan
ang karit,
ani’y di naisaboy sa hangin,
o ‘di kaya’y matikman
ang biyayang butil
kinitil ng lupit ng sugong ganid

DEKONZTRUKTSCHON thinkering thoughts By Rodrigo Rivera
is about looking at things differently, breaking the whole into its parts to understand each piece that makes the whole, then putting them again together as a new construction. It’s simply a way of thinking, of knowing and of understanding. The posts here are critical, reflexive and constructive attempts of life discourse – an exercise of being academic, political, apolitical, sometimes cynical and skeptic, theoretical, simple or unusual. This blog attempts to contribute to human understanding of their life realities by examining things in their social world with a different lense – deconstruction for reconstruction of knowledge.

CARPE DIEM Seize the Moment. Be Critical. Be Involved. Be Heard By Darwin Mendiola
Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace which means “seize the day”. Carpe is literally translated as “to pick, pluck, pluck off, cull, crop, gather”. Diem on the other hand simply connotes “day”. Roman poet Ovid used this phrase to mean “to enjoy, seize, use, and live”. For the author, this is about changing our attitude – by simply being critical, being involved and to express one’s thought. This is what this blog is trying to do – just to contribute in the understanding of the social realities by examining issues that affect our lives.
Carpe diem is a call for individual and collective action.

Government keeps denying the existence of political prisoners. We need to assert the truth! Join us in a call to #FREEOURDEFENDERS! Free all political prisoners!
In previous statement, PNoy’s spokesperson Lacierda declared that ‘We have no political prisoners.’ Then the Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to deliver Government’s commitment to look into the plight of all victims of political incarceration as a result of the hunger strike more than one year ago. There’s unconfirmed information that the existing mechanism for the release of alleged political offenders (PCBREP) is to be dissolved by the government. If this information is true then the Aquino Government has no intention to release political prisoners through executive action.
While the general public and even most advocates are not aware of the situation and continuing violation of political incarceration and criminalization of political offense, these violations are used to attack freedom of belief and even human rights defenders.
The #FREEOURDEFENDERS campaign refers to detained human rights defenders and defenders of peoples’ issues and struggles or Political Prisoners as we call them.
The public should be informed about cases like Juanito “Nitoy” Itaas, a long-held political prisoner and Cocoy Tulawie, detained human rights defender among many others. Both are working for the defense of peoples’ issues and human rights. Accused with trumped up criminal charges, they are among the more than 300 victims of political incarceration languishing in jails nationwide.
The #FREEOURDEFENDERS campaign demands that the PNoy Government must:
1. Free all political prisoners
2. Look into the plight of victims of political incarceration
3. Protect human rights defenders
4. Respect freedom of political belief, freedom of expression, opinion and association
5. Stop criminalization of political offense
They are jailed for our struggles… we must claim their freedom now!

AMNESTY International-Philippines (AIPh) challenged newly elected government officials to act further on the rising number of victims of human rights abuses in the country.
AIPh made the call on Tuesday as it launched the Amnesty International Report 2013 in Cagayan de Oro City, 15 days after the May 2013 midterm elections.
The launch was simultaneously held with its 52nd anniversary.
The AI Report compiled facts on the state of the world’s human rights, covering 159 countries and territories.
Dr. Aurora Corazon A. Parong, AIPh director, said insecurities were observed even in areas where armed conflict is absent and the number of people living below poverty line is growing.
“The world is becoming increasingly dangerous especially for refugees and migrants including Filipinos. We see insecurity in our country even in areas where there is no armed conflict. Poverty and unemployment persists. The local government officials play a key role in turning around the situation of misery and insecurity,” Parong said in a statement.

‘SAGOT MO BA AKO’ Project on the Respect, Protect and Fulfill principle of Human Rights obligations for the May 2013 Mid-Term Philippine Election
Respect – Marapat lamang na kilalanin at irespeto ng lahat, estado at mamamayan, ang mga batayang mga karapatang pantao sa isang lipunang sibil at may antas ng pagpapahalaga sa kapwa tao.
Ang ‘SMBA Project’ ay nakatuon sa kung anu para sa indibidwal na botante/mamamayan ang mga isyus na nais niyang masagot sa kanyang sarili, at pati na ng mga kandidatong nagnanais bitbitin ang kaniyang mga hinaing. Nakasentro ito sa mga usaping pangkarapatang pantao na dapat nirerespeto, ipinagtatanggol at tinutupad
Protect – Pangunahing responsibilidad ng estado na pangalagaan at ipagtanggol ang mga batayang mga karapatan ng kanyang mamamayan sa anumang posibleng magaganap na paglabag dito.
Walang humpay na kinakampanya ng AIPh ang mga isyung pumapatungkol sa mga karapatang pantao lalo na sa mga nagaganap na mga paglabag dito, halimbawa ay sa mga isyu ng torture, sapilitang pagkawala, diskriminasyon, LGBT at Indigenous Peoples rights.
Fulfill – Magaganap lamang ang puspusang paggampan ng mga obligasyon sa mga karapatang pantao para sa lahat kung ito ay totohanang ipatutupad bilang mga katungkulang sinumpaan ng mga namumuno sa pamahalaan.
Ang mga isyus ng mamamayan at mga botante ay mga lehitimong sibil at pulitikal na usapin para sa pagrespeto, pagtatanggol at pagtupad, pati na sa mga posibleng paglabag sa mga karapatang pantao ay dapat lamang maging hamon sa mga kandidato at sa mga lalahok sa darating na eleksyon sa kanilang mga magiging obligasyon hinggil dito.
Tinitingnan ng AIPh na isang magandang pagkakataon ang eleksyon sa Pilipinas para sa pagpapatingkad at pagtalakay ng mga isyung may kinalaman sa karapatang pantao lalo na kapag ito ay naka-ugnay sa mga responsibilidad at obligasyon ng mga tumatakbong kandidato at yung mga mahahalal sa pwesto para sa kanilang pagkilala, pagtatanggol at pagtupad ng mga karapatang ito.
Join Amnesty International – Sa pagkakataong ito, hinihikayat ang lahat ng mga mamamayang may pagkilala sa mga karapatan para sa lahat at pagkilos para sa pagsasabuhay nito na sumali sa Amnesty International para maging kabahagi sa pagtataguyod ng mga prinsipyo para sa karapatang pantao.

Group to Aquino: Declare right to adequate food a national policy
By InterAksyon.com
March 3, 2013
MANILA, Philippines – With more than three years left to the current administration, President Benigno S. Aquino III should declare right to adequate food a national policy in order to leave a legacy that is beneficial to the present and future generations, the National Food Coalition (NFC) said in a news release.
In an event dubbed “National Conference on the Right to Adequate Food: A Collective Action for Policy Reform,” Aurea Miclat-Teves, NFC convenor, said there is a need for the government to come up with an enabling law that will rectify existing incoherent, non-complementary and conflicting legal mechanisms.

Visual art has shown that art without advocacy floats in a void while art with a direction and reflective of the people’s sentiments is by itself an accomplishment that can be instantly shared with others. A bold move to break away from conventional art is to immerse with the ordinary people to learn from them and to reflect their very sentiments through a medium that is known as people’s art.

Children’s Legal Rights and Development Center, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit legal resource human rights organization for children committed to advancing children’s rights and welfare through the provision of its services based on human rights developmental framework approach and methodologies.
This group page adheres to the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1998. The declaration arose from the recognition that defenders often become the target of violations and abuses because of the nature of the activities they carry out and the issues they raise. The abuses to which defenders are subjected to include killings, death threats, torture, arbitrary arrest, criminal prosecution, harassment, defamation and other various forms of attacks, often coupled with impunity for the perpetrators of these acts.
The Defending of Human Rights Defenders group page is created to provide a venue for advocates and practitioners to share their thoughts and views for the protection of defenders against threat, harassment and intimidation, physical harm and other forms of violations.
Member of this group may post acticles, statements, photos, letter of appeal, petitions, news and other related materials in support to the said cause.
