โ€‹In the Philippines, the scars of abuse run deep. From the atrocities of Marcosโ€™ Martial Law to the brutality of Duterteโ€™s War on Drugs, our people have been imprisoned, tortured, and killed. Yet, the violation of our rights has not ended; it has merely shapeshifted.

โ€‹It persists in the greed of political dynasties that feast on public funds. It persists in the criminal negligence of the Cebu City flood control anomaly during Bagyong Tino. It persists when the narrative of "resiliency" is weaponized to mask government failure, and when bureaucrat-capitalists exploit the very farmers who feed us.

โ€‹This struggle is global. From systemic racism and homophobia to genocidal wars, human rights is constantly under siege.

โ€‹Guided by ๐—›๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜€๐—บ, UPS asserts that every individual possesses the inherent potential to change and live fully. Corruption and state violence steal that potential. To deprive a person of their rights is an act of violence against their humanity.
