But we share her sorrow and pain as the mother of James Balao, who was observed and threatened by the secret services and the murders and finally enforced disappeared by them at the 17th of September in 2008.

PRESS RELEASE – 05 June 2010

“The Case of the Morong 43:  emblematic of systemic and systematic  human rights violations in  the Philippines which are bred by social conditions”

Geneva, June 4 – “The Morong 43 case is emblematic of the human rights violations occurring in the Philippines. The plethora of violations at every step of the way, the various legal shortcuts, the brazen abuse or total disregard of the law and the deliberate attempts to escape accountability  are conclusive evidences of so much impunity in the Philippines.” Atty. Edre Olalia, one of the counsels to the Morong 43 and acting Secretary General of the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL), made these remarks at the side event highlighting  the case of the 43 healthworkers, during the 14th session of the Human Rights Council held at the Palais des Nations at the United Nations.

Also testifying at the side event was Mr. Roneo ‘Jigs’ Clamor, husband of one of the detainees and Deputy Secretary General of the human rights alliance KARAPATAN.  He narrated the circumstances during and following the arrest of the 43 health workers  Clamor described how his wife was threatened and that her family would be harmed if she refuses to own up being a member of the New People’s Army. The other detainees experienced similar threats and other forms of torture, he said. He added that relatives who visited were subject to harassment by elements of the military. Ms. Marie Hilao-Enriquez, KARAPATAN Chairperson, went on to detail how the Morong 43 was deprived of their rights.

Speaking at the same event,  Commissioner Cecilia Quisumbing also rued the failure of the military to respect the mandate of the Commission on Human Rights Quisumbing said the military does not respect human rights and does not see the difference between the mandate of the CHR and the investigative powers of the police. This is one reason, she said the military defies the Commission.  Quisumbing also scored the “apparent impropriety of the warrant of arrest”.

London-based human rights watchdog Amnesty International (AI) recently reiterated similar worldwide findings linking President Arroyo to a culture of impunity under her dawning watch as it claimed in its annual report the widespread and systematic political killings and enforced disappearances of rivals and critics allegedly committed by Philippine security forces.

With this year as a self-imposed govern-ment deadline in thumping a more than three-decade-old communist rebellion, the AI said the military failed to defferentiate between communist New People’s Army (NPA) fighters and above-ground activists and human rights defenders belonging to legal organizations.”
