Statement of Chairperson Chito Gascon on his tenure as head of the Commission on Human Rights

Every person has his or her opinion about how each of us should perform our respective mandates. I stand by the full record of my public service, including my current tenure as Chairperson of the CHR. I will, to the best of my ability, perform my lawful mandate as head of an independent non-partisan constitutional office given the duty to protect and promote human rights in this country. I will continue to do so without fear or favor and shall always speak truth to power. Secretary Panelo should focus on his job of trying to give the best legal advice he can muster for the Office of the President as I will do what I can in doing my job as best as I can.

I assure the public, and tenure as current Chairperson would attest to this, that none of my previous or future actions in public office would ever be motivated by vengefulness, vindictiveness, or subjectivity. We shall always abide by constitutional and human rights precepts in the performance of our duties as we shall keep faith that truth and justice shall ultimately prevail. ###
