“no business” meddling in the country’s affairs following his baseless criticisms on the alleged human rights abuses allegedly committed by the Duterte administration, a Palace official said Sunday.Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar maintained that the government was “all for global human rights,” contrary to the latest grandstanding of the US senator.
Sanders recently railed against the alleged human rights abuses committed by the Philippine government, citing the crackdown on trade unionists. Sanders, who is running for president in the 2020 elections, claimed that the alleged repression of trade unionists was “a shameful attempt to silence people’s rights and freedoms.”
Andanar, however, defended the police operations on suspected Communist terrorists in Bacolod City last October 31, saying they were actually “peaceful and precise” that nobody got hurt. Andanar assured the public that the government has taken stringent measures during operations since they are “a matter of serious national security.” “These are steps we have to take in order to erode any probabilities of communist armed conflicts and in the long run attain peace and prosperity among Filipinos,” he said.
