‘INSENSITIVE’
GABRIELA Party-list Representative Arlene Brosas criticized Vice President Sara Duterte for downplaying the evidence presented before the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the systematic killings during the Duterte administration’s war on drugs.
Brosas said Duterte’s dismissive remarks on the ICC investigation are not only insensitive but reveal a dangerous disregard for human rights and justice.
Also Brosas said that Duterte should address her own controversies before attempting to dismiss serious human rights investigations.
The lady solon stressed that the 43 counts of murder with substantial evidence are not mere isolated cases but represent a systematic pattern of state-sponsored violence that claimed thousands of lives, mostly from poor communities.
“Ang 43 na kaso ay hindi lang basta numero. Ito ay 43 na pamilyang nawalan ng mahal sa buhay, 43 na komunidad na nakaranas ng karahasan, at 43 na patunay na may sistemang pumapatay,” she said.
Brosas then advised Duterte that Instead of calling others stupid, she should look at her own issues.
“Ang totoong rurok ng kainutilan ay yung maglagay ng pangalan ng chichirya at grocery items bilang recepient ng confidential funds.
Hindi pwedeng itago ang katotohanan sa likod ng mga insulto at pag-iwas sa tunay na isyu,” Brosas said.
Instead of working in her officer, Duterte is currently in the Netherlands looking after his father, the former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is detained for crimes against humanity.
