Extrajudicial killings is a human rights violation

   There is no question today about the rampant character of the big menace in our country. The public perception that the problem has far exceeded the capacity of normal law enforcement. Due to the high rates of these drug related crimes, extrajudicial killings happened. Extrajudicial killings is the killing of a person by government authorities or dominated  political groups without the sanction of any judicial proceeding or legal process. Extrajudicial punishments are mostly seen by humanity to be unethical, since they bypass the due process of the legal jurisdiction in which they occur. 

  
   Everyone deserves due process, because it is one of the rights of an accused person person. What is due process? Well, due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person. According to Article 3 section 1 of the constitution states that no person shall be deprived of life liberty or property without due of process. Nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the law. So when a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitute a due process violation, which offends the rule of the law.
    


   
   No person shall be denied the equal protection of the law. As regards to equal protection of the law, it means the law applies to all, we are all protected by  it, but we are all subjected by it once we violate the rules. But with mounting reports of cases of mistaken identity, and accounts of people getting killed despite having surrendered or having clean background many are getting killed without full evidence. According to director general Ronald Dela Rosa, 712 people had been killed in police operations in the seven weeks since the crackdown began, and that another 1,067 had died at the hands of the vigilantes




  No person shall be deprived of life property, it simply means fair play. You cannot be deprived of your life, liberty or property without any reason on their part and without giving an explanation or right to be heard on your part on why you should not be deprived of your life, liberty or property. Supporters of EJK go on to argue that if drug pushers and other criminals are not killed, they're the ones who do the killings. " Better for them to die, instead of the truly innocent." they say. An example case of EJK is about a 46 year old father, he was neither a drug lord nor a pusher. He never bought grams of drugs for himself. He was too poor to become a user. A single bullet to the back of his head that night made he 46 year old father on of the first of nearly 2,000 Filipinos killed so far  in Duterte's brutal war on drugs.


We should understand that innocent people can be killed because of extrajudicial killings. We must realize that this can violate human rights of a person . How many innocent lives must be killed to continue people that something's wrong? We must stand for our rights and we must stop this menace before it's too late.

BUWAN NG WIKA      Tuwing Buwan ng wika nagsusuot ang mga estudyante ng mga suot na sinaunang damit upang masunod sa tema ng pagka pilipino natin. Ito ay importante para ma subukan natin ang pag suot ng mga damit na ginamit noon at para rin sa pag diwang ng buwan ng wika. Iba't iba ang mga sinusuot ng mga estudyante, kagaya ng Filipinana, Barong at Baro't saya na nangagaling sa iba't ibang mga rehiyon sa Pilipinas.      Ang sinuot ko nuong buwan ng wika ay ang baro't saya, ito ang sinusuot ng mga Filipina nuon. Kasama ang bakya na sinusuot para sa paa at abaniko na pwedeng pantakip sa mukha. Ang baro't saya ay galing sa mga Espanol na nuo'y sumakop sa Pilipinas. Dahil sa mga Espanol ay na iba ang ating pandamit, barong sa lalaki at baro't saya sa babae. Ang sinuot ko dito ay baro't saya na nanggaling sa Visayas, ito ay kumportable suotin pero mainit itong suotin. Sa kasalukuyan sinusuot nalang ang baro't saya at barong ng mga tao sa go...
