“What stands out from the past year is how many people are choosing courage over compliance.”
“Things are no better under the Ferdinand Marcos Jr. government.”
“It is not enough to argue that the Government’s heavy-handed policies remain popular in the country. Because victims tend to be from lower socio-economic classes and relatively disempowered communities, there is an even stronger imperative to ensure their protection. We must not let them down. Political leadership is about respecting, promoting and protecting the rights of everyone in society, in particular the most vulnerable, so as to leave no one behind.” -- UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet
