Photo taken from the hinterlands of Siaton,Negros Oriental during a Fact Finding Mission of the Massive Militarization in the area and worsening human
rights violations committed by the elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.At this moment a gassed lamp provide us light as we were finalizing our
documented data that has been gathered during the talks with farmers.
The economic and political situation remain the biggest problem in the country, from colonial and feudal system to the present semi-colonial and semi-feudal. This system are the crucial point why the vast majority still drown to worst economic crisis and deprived to exercise their rights in political actions, and suffer from state repression though it was protected under the supreme law of the land but in reality these are all in a mere dream of a poor " Juan Dela Cruz" that had been dreaming and never awake.
As an ordinary citizen who dream a descent life, a quality of education that can be access by all the people regardless of their social standing, jobs that at all time provides an appropriate income to sustain our daily needs such as food that are required according to the needs of our body and prescribed by competent medical practitioner, health care that is accessible and free for all, and secured and free shelters when in times of natural calamities at least that very moment we will feel less worries because we can not feel the rain drops into our bed as we are in deep asleep. These are all have been always dream by all the ordinary citizens like me in exchange for a tons of taxes that we have been pay everyday and these are all the responsibilities and the purpose of the creation of the so-called government. In the principle of human rights these are essential to our lives because it is the primary source of our survival.
This is what I've learn as I dig deeply and in search for the truth, but as I tried to integrate and concretely evaluate if this things were applied in the society that I am living. I was in a great dismayed and confusion over the reality that the people in the country and I my self were greatly deprived of these essentials in our life and controlled of things that supposed to be executed in the redress of our grievance and restricted of legitimate actions achieving our economic needs. this all the time I shifted my interest into the desire that is anchor on our greatest task as one of the most advance creature ever created by the fusion of atoms. That every human has a task to protect each and everyone against the forces of nature and harmful act from everyone.
This is the foundation of our rights that must at all time be protected and be defended from political to economic and socio-cultural aspect people should have equal opportunity in promoting and achieving these rights. But in the country like philippines only 1 percent has the right to fully enjoy and exercise such things while the 99 percent are chained of deprivation that result into poverty,starvation and constant economic crisis due to the fact that majority of the wealth were fully controlled and monopolized by those who are in government post. this is were my interest has been molded and shaped. the interest of the majority to liberate ourselves from the bondage of oppression, injustice and inequality.
