Human rights groups said the country's security sectors
remained as the leading human rights violators in the country but an Army
general said the situation has greatly improved.
Major Gen. Edmundo Pangilinan, 6th Infantry Division
commander, said unlike during martial law years, the military has considered
promotion and protection of human rights as its advocacy.
The Philippine Army, Pangilinan said, has adopted and
promoted the International Human Rights Law. In fact it has been integrated and
institutionalized in Army training and advocacy, he said.
As the country observes International Human Rights Day
Thursday, the 6th ID conducted seminar workshop on the draft Bangsamoro Basic
Law, the enabling law that will be the basis of the coming of new political entity
in Muslim region.
