Ano bang pumasok sa utak nitong mga taga CHR? human rights violations daw perpetrated on-line. ouch! my foot!

MANILA, Philippines – As election day nears, various forms of politically-motivated violence hound Filipinos both online and offline, the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) observed.

On Monday, April 18, the CHR, through its project "Bantay Karapatan sa Halalan" (BKH), highlighted the need to "govern" online spaces as they are used by some Filipinos to spread election-related violence and threats.

The project is in partnership with poll watchdogs and human rights groups like Lente and Dakila.

"We should protect our digital rights during elections," stressed Mich Rama of Dakila. "While social media is a great tool to exercise our human rights and freedom of speech, it's also used for human rights abuse."

"We should use it instead to promote credible news and platforms," she added.

In April, environmentalist Renee Juliene Karunungan's social media post regarding her experience with online bullies went viral.

Karunungan received hundreds of Facebook messages and thousands of comments right after posting her reasons for not supporting presidential bet Rodrigo Duterte.

Her inbox was flooded with messages from netizens who claimed to be Duterte supporters. Karunungan received insults, curses, and even death and rape threats.

Karunungan's experience, according to the BKH, is a form of human rights violation.

"More than just cyberbullying, there's gender-based violence like rape threats and name-calling," said Rama. "Human rights online is the same as human rights offline. There should be same protection."

The CHR is urging Filipinos to use the Internet to "reclaim our rights."

Reporting violations

So what can social media users do if they experience online abuse?

"A good first step is to file a human rights complaint with the BKH," said Gemma Parojinog, the CHR's representative for the project.

To report such cases, one can use the BKH website or proceed to the central and regional CHR offices.

While the CHR admits that it would be hard to catch and prosecute online abusers, especially since it is hard to track "fake accounts," it hopes the Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group can help with the problem.

"This is only being monitored now. Social media users are becoming irresponsible when issuing statements [about elections]," Parojinog noted.

"I hope they [Filipino netizens] are more conscious of what they say, so it won't reach the point where they will violate the rights of other social media users and that crimes are committed."

Legal measures

Dakila also wants cases of election-related cyberbullying to be included in the scope of the Cybercrime Law.

In 2013, Senator Nancy Binay filed the Electronic Violence Against Women bill which seeks to protect women from online harassment and blackmailing, bullying, cyber-stalking, and hacking.

Penalties for "electronic violence" include jail time and a hefty fine. Victims would also receive counseling or psychiatric treatment as needed.

The bill, however, remains pending.

For now, the CHR is advising the public to report and keep screenshots of the abusive online messages they receive.

On the ground

Meanwhile, on the ground, election violations also remain aplenty, poll watchdogs said.

In fact, from June 2015 to March 2016, there have already been 49 incidents of "politically-motivated" killings, assault, and harassment in the country, the CHR reported. (READ: Politically-motivated killings before PH elections)

Vote buying, in its many forms, also remains rampant.

The CHR received reports that government resources, like vehicles, conference halls, and funds have been used in "electioneering."

In the local races, some incumbent officials use their power to derail other candidates' campaigns. Some spread black propaganda. Others bar their rivals from campaigning in public spaces like barangay basketball courts.

The CHR also reminded Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries not to fall prey to deceitful candidates – something the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) also warned voters about recently.

"4Ps beneficiaries should not be coerced in joining political rallies under threat that these beneficiaries could suffer reduction in their benefits, or just be removed as one," Parojinog said.

Those using 4Ps to buy votes may be reported to the DSWD, Commission on Elections, and the Civil Service Commission.

The CHR observed that many Filipinos hesitate in reporting election violations out of fear.

But the CHR reminded the public that it is ready to support and protect those who want to speak up. The first step is to break the silence. – Rappler.com

Lol.....yung bagong tv ad ni nognog at honasan, naka-high speed/ bullet train sila.

Taas ng pangarap.

The intent of limiting the President to one six year term is to inhibit him from using government funds (and machinery) for reelection.

Now look who is arguably doing that for his party's continuing control of The Palace....

Sino na ba ang may nagawa na? Siya lang ang may magagawa pa!

Ikaw na talaga Binay. LOL!

Still not voting for him though.

Pulse Asia Survey apr 5-10

Duterte: 32
Poe: 25
Binay: 20
Roxas: 18

Duterte leads in all voters class as opposed to previous pulse asia survey where he only led in Class ABC and Class D. He has overtaken Poe in Class E votes in the latest survey. Mar surprisingly only got 7% of NCR votes and 19% of Class ABC votes. This survey however does not take into account the effect of Duterte's rape joke recently. The effect is yet to be seen but I think it will be overshadowed by duterte's performance/under-performance in the upcoming Presidential debate on April 24. if he performs well, hes good but if he fails, its a 50-50 chance of winning. Before the rape joke, duterte is the clear winner. After the joke, its between him and Poe. Binay and Roxas will battle for 3rd place. Machinery can beat popularity but not all the time and certaintly not in this election IMO. If machinery means cheating then Roxas or Binay wins.

^ that was before the "rape" joke.
Let's see if his ratings would dip after the joke.

At ang sagot sa katanungan ay :

First post-‘rape’ poll shows Duterte widening lead | Inquirer News

[Juan Martinez]

Even each candidates thread here is align with the survey :

1. Duterte - 1460 replies
2. Grace Poe - 1391 replies
3. Negro - 1,101 replies
4. Mar - 283 replies

That's how interesting each candidate is regardless whether a + or - reply.

senior macsd, you are very perceptive.

but when you take a second hard look at the posts in GP and DP threads, you will notice that most of the posts or majority thereof are actually from members who are not inclined to vote for the top two candidates. majority of tsikot members (especially the old-timers generally), in my opinion, are for the standard bearer of the liberal party.

Absolutely senior. While as you stated, majority are for what you mentioned, is it not interesting to note that those perceived to be LP are not posting on Mar thread. Looking from the outside, Digong thread is interesting ( of course without reading the contents) by the sheer number of replies.

Very close is GP's thread which even started way-way earlier than Digong.

Analyzing it (even on the VP level) he/she who's on top of the surveys becomes hot item in number of post again + or - wise. Relating that into the number of post, is it the same reason why Digong , GP & Negro are in the 1000 level replies cause they have change positions in #1 surveys while Mar with mere 200+ replies never been #1 in the surveys and his consistent 4th or it's just a coincidence?

For the simple reason that Mar is the intelligent choice, but there are not much intelligent voters even here in Tsikot

Peace ✌ 😁

ano ba ang pwedeng magpapanalo kay Mar sa pagkapangulo?

[macsd]

ano ba ang pwedeng magpapanalo kay Mar sa pagkapangulo?

Mag back out ang mga kalaban.

[kimbon]

ano ba ang pwedeng magpapanalo kay Mar sa pagkapangulo?

none. it's too late for him to win the presidency. kung ginawa nya lang sana ang mga "homework" bilang cabinet noon ni pnoy maybe he is now the candidate to beat in the upcoming election.

[CVT]

ano ba ang pwedeng magpapanalo kay Mar sa pagkapangulo?

Actually,- ginagawa na nila bro.

Di ba't sabi ni Roxas,- headline ito sa isang major daily..... na siya raw ang magiging "flavor or the month" for May?

Yeah pa more!
