Dear Mr. President,
May you be in the best of everything handling this letter of mine.
Congratulations on your inauguration as the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines. Human Rights Watch would like to say palarin ka sana, good luck in carrying out your duties as president.
Human Rights Watch looks forward
to working with you to realize the commitments to protecting and promoting
human rights that you articulated during your presidential campaign and inaugural
address. In your campaign, you rightly emphasized the importance of justice and
ending extrajudicial killings, and promised to abolish so-called private
armies. In your address on June 30, you undertook to "strengthen the armed
forces and the police, not to serve the interests of those who want to wield
power with impunity, but to give added protection for ordinary folk." And
you publicly instructed your new justice secretary, Leila de Lima, to
"begin the process of providing true and complete justice for all."
We encourage you to move swiftly with clear and effective policies to realize
these commitments.
Thank you for lending your eyes and heart for this short letter of mine
sir. I hope that you will be the wellspring of change.
