Compensation ActOn January 23, 1977, the newspaper Bulletin Today bannered this headline: “One-sided press reports scored.  No violations of human rights – FM”.

Ferdinand Marcos was then vehemently denying the reports of massive and grave human rights violations perpetrated since his seizing a second term presidency by imposing martial law on September 21, 1972.  Mainly documented by the Task Force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP), established by the Association of Religious Superiors in the Philippines (AMRSP) in 1974,  these violations reached the international community and the then U.N. Commission on Human Rights.  Marcos used the State machinery to produce a coercive environment and to engender a culture of impunity that persist till the present.compensation act signing Feb 25, 2013

Being both State signatories to the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR), the Philippines and the United States of America have the trinity of obligations to respect, protect and fulfill the human and people’s rights of its own constituencies but also the people of each other’s country. The UDHR, since December 10, 1948, has become a main feature of international customary law. Many of the aspirations of the UDHR have come from the Constitutions of both countries. These aspirations which later evolved into international human rights laws were meant to enhance also its own laws and policies governing relations with each other.Tubataha and VFA
