Palace slams ‘unfortunate’
Euro resolution
By Philippine News Agency
MANILA – Malacañang on Friday described as
“unfortunate” the European Parliament’s resolution
calling for an end to the alleged extrajudicial killings amid
the country’s intensified campaign against illegal drugs.
“We, of course, find it unfortunate that members
of the European Parliament once again interfered with
the affairs of the Philippine state, rehashing issues and
baseless claims that have been explained adequately by
the Philippine government in several official statements,”
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a Palace
press briefing.
“We reiterate that the Philippine administration
— the government under the administration of President
Rodrigo Roa Duterte — does not engage in so-called
extrajudicial killings,” he said.
Roque also refuted claims that 12,000 have
already been killed since Duterte began his anti-illegal
drugs campaign upon assumption of office in 2016.
“We challenge them — where are your data, the evidence
of 12,000 who died? Impunity doesn’t have a place in
our society and we continue to follow process and hold
officers accountable for their actions,” he explained.
Government date showed about 4,100 people
have been killed in anti-drug operations.
Legal arrest
On the European Parliament’s call for the release
of Senator Leila de Lima, Roque said de Lima’s arrest on
illegal drug charges has been declared legal with finality
by the Supreme Court.
He reminded the European Parliament that the
Philippine justice system is working and that the executive
department does not interfere with the judiciary.
“The judiciary is working. The lower courts and
the Supreme Court are not influenced by the politicians,”
Roque said.
The European Parliament’s resolution also
asked the Philippine government to remove UN Special
Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous People Victoria
Tauli-Corpuz from the list of terrorists.
NPA links
Roque, meanwhile, explained that military
intelligence reports claim that Corpuz has links to the
Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army.
Tauli-Corpuz, he said, has not yet been tagged as terrorist
since her case is still in court.
“Ms. Corpuz can submit controverting evidence
linking her with the terrorist group. We will allow the
court to decide,” he said.
Roque called on members of the European
Parliament to exercise prudence in issuing resolutions.
“We understand a number of whom we have close ties
with the local political opposition who tried to distort
realities that we have a working democracy, where people
now enjoy peace and order,” he said.
Roque said he finds the European Parliament’s
resolution inconsistent with the European Union’s recent
move to give financial assistance for the Philippines’ war
on drugs.
“I find it inconsistent that the European parliament
will condemn the war against drugs which is now also
being financed partly by the European Union,” he said.
No problem
He clarified that the Philippines has no problem
with the EU, noting that “perhaps it is the EU that should
communicate with the European parliament.”
On the European Parliament’s call for EU to
remove the Philippines from the UN Human Rights
Council, Roque said it will be decided by the UN system
itself.
“The members of the UN Human Rights Council
are elected by the general assembly. That’s a call to be
made by the general assembly,” he pointed out.
Roque said he is expecting the Department of
Foreign Affairs to take the necessary steps to what he
called unfair action by the European Parliament.
IPOPHL urges heightened respect for
intellectual property rights
By MARYA SALAMAT
MANILA – Three years ago, supporters of migrant
workers around the world campaigned hard – and won a
reprieve – for Mary Jane Veloso. She was snatched safe
almost in front of the firing squad, with the Indonesian
government announcing at the last minute their decision
to halt her execution for the time being. In response to the
requested judicial review, it said it will await the results of
the trial of Veloso’s alleged traffickers in the Philippines.
Veloso had been transferred with 10 others
in death row three years ago to Indonesia’s so-called
execution island. One by one she saw all the other 10 taken
out. They were shot by firing squad that day as scheduled.
Veloso would later share the mixed feelings she had at the
time. She was fearful, resigned yet hoping against hope.
Each time one was executed and she was bypassed, she
was perplexed, stunned, and in the end, weak with relief
and simply happy to have received another chance at life.
This is a life where she’s still in the death row and striving
to get out. As supporters who visited her since then noted,
Veloso is resourceful and hardworking. She has even
learned to speak Bahasa, the language spoken by most of
her fellow prisoners.
Convicted as a drug mule by an Indonesian
court, Veloso’s case sparked international outrage against
trafficking. In the Philippines, her alleged illegal recruiters,
Maria Cristina Sergio and Julius Lacanilao, have admitted
wrongdoing and are now in jail. Migrante International
blamed these recruiters “for preying on Mary Jane as their
innocent victim in the drug trafficking.”
But after three years, Veloso remains in jail
in Indonesia. Her recruiters and suspected mastermind
in the drugs trade, meanwhile, have so far succeeded
in preventing the Philippine court from adjusting to the
“novelty” and fact that Veloso is in jail abroad and could
not physically attend hearings in the Philippines.
Continuing campaign for Veloso’s freedom
Since Veloso’s statement is crucial in the trial
of her alleged recruiters and traffickers, the National
Union of People’s Lawyers (NUPL), which has served as
Veloso’s counsel in her drug trafficking case in Indonesia
and private counsels in the case against her recruiters, had
filed a petition for her written deposition to take the place
of an actual testimony.
This petition was blocked by the Public Attorneys’
Office. Last January, the CA affirmed this injunction. The
(Public Attorney’s Office) PAO said, and the CA’s 11th
division agreed, that a written testimony will deprive their
clients of the right to face the complainant and also to a
speedy disposition of the case.
But the NUPL contested this, saying “No
fundamental right is violated if Mary Jane is allowed to
answer written interrogatories as the accused through
counsel will be present when her deposition is taken in
Indonesia in the presence not only of the same Philippine
judge hearing the case for human trafficking, illegal
recruitment and swindling, but also other concerned
judicial and consular officials of the Philippines and
Indonesia.”
Migrant advocates to ask Court of Appeals, then
Supreme Court, to let Mary Jane ‘speak’
If the Court of Appeals decides against Veloso’s
motion for reconsideration this week, Migrante said, they
will raise the appeal to the Supreme Court.
They will also mark the third anniversary of
Veloso’s stayed execution with a Global Day of Action on
April 29, in different cities overseas. Local supporters are
expected to gather at Mendiola near Malacañang. Migrante
said they will urge President Duterte to do everything in
his power to save Mary Jane and all innocent OFW’s on
death row.
Veloso’s parents thanked her supporters and
appealed for continuing support. They are set to visit their
daughter on April 29, thanks in part to the hard work of
Migrante International and Indonesian Churches.
All over the world as of last September 2017,
there have been 130 Filipinos in death row, 626 Filipinos
in distress or under investigation for various offenses, and
some 137 Filipinos, 33 of whom are female, serving life
sentences abroad, based on a report by the Department of
Foreign Affairs. The department based it on a compilation
of dispatches by Philippine embassies and consulates
on overseas Filipinos in distress from July to December
2016. Thousands are serving “fixed-term” jail sentences.
And these figures are regarded as just the tip of the iceberg
because of the inconclusiveness of some reports plus the
phenomenon of undocumented migration.
