Statement of CHR spokesperson, Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the commendable conduct of a police officer in Santiago City, Isabela

We commend the discipline and exercise of Patrolman John Paul Gomez Sudario of maximum tolerance while dealing with an irate mallgoer in Santiago City, Isabela. While it is easy to lose control during confrontational circumstances, police officer Sudario was able to demonstrate respect for human rights while preserving public order. CHR hopes to see similar acts that respect human rights and dignity in all aspects of law enforcement. At the same time, we equally stress the importance of respecting persons in authority enforcing lawful order—a form of mutual respect ultimately seen as a careful balance towards protecting the rights of all.
