Pahayag ng tagapagsalita ng CHR, Atty. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, sa pagpatay sa isang election officer sa Northern Samar

Election violence denigrates human rights, particularly the right to life, and creates an atmosphere of fear that impacts the conduct of free and genuine elections—a democratic exercise of the people’s right to vote. As such, the brazen killing of Municipal Election Officer James Diaz Maghanoy, 42, in Lopez de Vega, Northern Samar is strongly condemnable.

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) in Region VIII has undertaken an immediate independent probe to ensure that accountability will be exacted. The urgent need to curb impunity cannot be overemphasized, especially during this volatile election period.

As in all similar cases of killings and violence, we continue to harp the expedient need to bring perpetrators to account and to implement concrete mechanisms that will genuinely reduce violence on the ground. The Commission also joins the call of the Commission on Elections for authorities to swiftly deliver justice.

CHR offers its sincerest condolences and prayers to the family and friends of the victim. As an integral part of State duty, we appeal to the government to ensure a safe, free, and genuine elections. We also ask all citizens and concerned groups to be vigilant in defense of basic rights and freedoms during this period.
