SONA2023: “What is it with Marcos and human rights that he refuses to address this issue?” asked Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes. “We find this alarming. No human rights under ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ like it was under ‘Bagong Lipunan.’’’
“This means that we can expect the current trend of escalating human rights violations to continue … His Sona has left us not just deeply disappointed, but disgusted, exasperated and enraged,” she added.
“This deafening silence on the ICC means that impunity continues,” Colmenares said, noting that the issue was one of the most important affecting the “state of the nation.” Another Marcos supporter, 54-year-old Helen Adoniso, said that she remained hopeful about seeing the country develop under his administration.
On the way to Tandang Sora footbridge, some set on fire an effigy of the President standing on top of a huge combat boot. Later on, another effigy of a coin with Mr. Marcos’ face and the words “Sagisag ng Alamano ng Pilipinas” was also burned, prompting a warning from Metro Manila police chief, Brig. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., that those who took part might be charged with violating the Clean Air Act.
Worker rights advocate Luke Espiritu of the Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino, meanwhile, criticized contractualization schemes which continue to exploit and deprive laborers of rightful compensation. “[Mr.] Marcos has not solved the problems of Filipinos. What he did was to travel abroad purportedly to look for investors. But until now, the crisis our country is facing has worsened,” according to Alyansang Mamumuo sa Sugbo secretary general Howell Villacrucis.
