#CourageON: No Lockdown on RightsThe human rights situation in the Philippines is dire, with the number of extrajudicial killings, illegal arrests, and attacks against activists and critics unparalleled since the fall of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986. This is further exacerbated by the government’s inadequate and militarized response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Failed contact tracing, confusing protocols, delayed assistance to those who needed it most, lack of transparency, and a slow vaccine rollout – all these have led to the abuse of basic human rights: the right to live, to work, to study, and to be protected by the state. What can we do? Several human rights groups and organizations have banded together for the “CourageON: No Lockdown on Rights” coalition led by Rappler’s civic engagement arm MovePH. The coalition aims to keep watch over abuses and violations, as well as identify opportunities for collective action to promote and defend human rights. Through this coalition, we aim to build a community that will be ready to drum up noise and put pressure on relevant authorities and institutions to address urgent and life-threatening cases. The coalition will also help us put together a menu of actions collating the efforts of various human rights groups in one platform. The coalition has eight clusters: legal and academe, gender, youth and children, environment, health, media and artists, religion, and marginalized groups. Groups whose advocacies or demographics fall under any of the clusters are welcome to join. Email move.phrappler.com to know more.

Are we in the reign of greed?AT the moment there are said to be 13 reclamation projects (but DENR says 22) in Manila Bay, authorized and shepherded by the Philippine Reclamation Authority (formerly Public Estates Authority). Though it has been announced that only three are actually being worked at. Well, those three have created enough havoc. The Philippine Reclamation Authority whose mandate is to regulate reclamation to result in environmentally sustainable land, promote coastal resilience and develop government properties to advance development goals seems to have decided to give reclamation permits big time for Manila Bay. In light of previous reclamations, there should be a moratorium on reclaiming Manila Bay by now. The entities with reclamation permits tout increased business opportunities, thousands of local jobs and of course, attractive real estate. That scenario seems to be within our Philippine setting of the wide gap between rich and poor, to be strictly for the rich. They build, they sell and they become richer while the general public which has an equal interest in Manila Bay loses it. Whatever job opportunities the poor will get will be temporary and that is all that is on offer for them. The essential question in light of the negative impact of reclamation, which is disruption of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity and real loss of livelihood of people who depend on Manila Bay — is it worth it?
