“Lest we forget that the murderous Arroyo regime is responsible for 1,206 extrajudicial killings during her 9-year term, 204 enforced disappearances and thousands of illegal arrests, appointing her as the new House Speaker will pave the way for more repressive legislation that will further justify rights violations. It will be a gross injustice to all victims of rights abuses under her term – a testament to the prevailing climate of impunity so fervently preserved by President Duterte,” said Karapatan Deputy Secretary General Roneo Clamor.
