Statement of CHR spokesperson, Atty. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the passage of the Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act

The Commission on Human Rights commends the passage of the Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act as a response to the growing number of cases of HIV and AIDS among the population in the country. This advances Filipinos’ right to health, especially people living with HIV and AIDS, in line with the principles of equality and non-discrimination embodied under Article XIII, Section 11 of the 1987 Constitution.

We look forward to the active engagement of all government agencies, civil society organisations, and the public at large, in realising effective preventive measures, better healthcare, and in breaking the stigma for people living with HIV and AIDS.
