Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said the Philippines with a democratic form of government” does not fully respect the rights of the people.
On the occasion of human rights day, Lagdameo offered prayers to victims of human rights violation, including child in the womb, violated children and women, the abandoned, harassed and exploited, the disadvantaged poor, the unjustly evicted from their land, and many others. ?Unfortunately in our country with a democratic form of government, the rights of the people are not always fully respected. And the culprits: among others, public servants and elected officials.”
