In my home country the beloved Philippines there have been a lot of human rights violation in the past decades especially during the Marcos regime. During those martial law times human rights violation is very obvious and go unpunished due to cover-up and white washing of the government officials then, but now human rights violation in my country has taken a different face it is not that obvious but more silent and concealed in the guise of globalization and the need to cope up with the new trade agreements endorsed by the first world or the rich country, like America. There was a recent events that happens and this is about the farmers of Bukidnon who for two years I think fought for their right to their land who was been taken from them without due process by the big company San Miguel Corporation. On the long arduous court battle finally in the year 2007 they won the case and the land they fought through their own effort and unity they finally have it. I post this in unity with the call of Bloggers Unite for Human Rights in commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United nations. There are lots of human rights violation happening today that cry out for justice and we need to use all the available resources to let the world know that we should respect and honor the basic rights of people to create a habitable world.
