From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 6): PA in Iloilo to hold human rights forum
on Friday
A human rights forum facilitated by members of the 301st Brigade of the
Philippine Army (PA) based at Camp Hernandez in Dingle, Iloilo will be held
Friday as part of the activities in line with the National Human Rights
Consciousness Week celebration.
Leo Satana, one of the resource speakers of the forum, said the activity is
part of the information and education drive to really impress human rights laws
among men in uniform.
Through the awareness drive, soldiers would be able to determine actions that
are abusive.
Data from the CHR showed a drop in number of complaint cases involving Army
members from three cases in 2011 to only two cases for the three quarters of the
year.
A similar forum will be held Dec. 11 at the University of San Agustin (USA)
in partnership with the Ateneo Human Rights Center.
