[In the news] Lawyers group seeks SC help, protection from military harassment -INQUIRER.net

Posted on by Leave a comment

An organization of human rights lawyers on Monday sought the Supreme Court’s protection from alleged continuing harassment and “red tagging” of their members by the military and the police.

In a 23-page petition, the officers and members of the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL) sought the Supreme Court’s help by filing a petition for writ of amparo and writ habeas data.

A writ of amparo is a remedy available to any person whose right to life, liberty, and security has been violated or under threat. The writ of habeas data, on the other hand, is a remedy available to any person whose right to privacy in life, liberty or security has been violated or under threat by the unlawful gathering of information about the person, his or her family, and home.

Both writs serve as preventive and curative roles to curb extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances.

Militant labor groups demand living, not ‘libing’ wage.

By Tina G. Santos,Philippine Daily Inquirer
November 2, 2012

“Libing (burial),” not living, wage.

This was how militant and labor groups described the remaining P10 increase in the cost-of-living-allowance (Cola) for minimum wage earners in Metro Manila, which took effect Thursday.

“No wonder the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) implemented this hike in time for Day of the Dead (Araw ng Patay),” Anakbayan chair Vencer Crisostomo said in a statement.

Crisostomo said the hike is far from the P125 demanded by the workers and the P993 Family Living Wage set by Ibon Foundation in 2011, the amount required to meet daily family needs.

“The present workers’ pay is not a living wage, it’s a ‘libing’ (funeral) wage. You can feel the spirit of the dead, but not the wage hike,” he said in Filipino, adding that most employers do not implement the minimum wage levels.
