Code Number: 8

Parameter #1: This system will prohibits public officials or employees from
soliciting or accepting anything with a monetary value from imprisoned persons as to
retrogress to Republic Act No. 3019 of the Revised Penal Code.

Parameter #2: This resolution shall be dissolved upon to its contradiction of

keeping democracy and human rights accountability in the country.

Human right violations are much rampant and broad when it comes to political
aspects or view, but in deeper understanding of its notion and perspective, government
or those people who are in high positions and have a power to take illegal possessions
in our law or even the constitutions they are the one who engage in malicious and
unrighteous act. The idea can be a problem in the Philippines but human rights is an
essential part of modern democracies. It allows the person lived freely, in tranquility,
with dignity and away from forms of abusive actions of individuals or institution.
According to Cepeda (2020), the world is filled with examples of violations of basic
rights such as censorship, discrimination, political imprisonment, torture, slavery,
disappearances, genocide, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and killings, poverty,
etc.

Behind this immoral and unrighteous act that suffer people’s lives, United State
senators-authors gave a set in motion which is a process of being approved those
officials, employers, polices, and armed individuals of the Philippine government that is
connected to the detainment of Senator de Lima and accused EJK (Extrajudicial Killing
under the administration of Duterte. Same resolution also declared to those people who
harassed, arrested and unjustified judicial proceedings to Senator De Lima, to unriddle
those human rights violations and press freedom issued in the Philippines, the U.S.
senate presented a bill to resolved that case, U.S. Senate Resolution No. 142 where in
the aforementioned bill, invokes the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act,
an American law that allows the U.S. executive branch to have the rights and control to
assess visa and travel prohibition to those persons involved in detention of Senator
Leila de Lima. Aside from that if Global Magnitsky Act is imposed, those concerned and
involved Philippine officials and even individuals will be subject to freeze their bank
accounts and assets in in America. This is one of a proof that justice and human rights
are succeeding and existing in behalf of rampant cases of crimes and injustice
governance. Let us look at the brighter side of te said law that focuses on restricting
travel and freezing the assets of any individuals who have committed serious and gross
violations of human rights specifically extrajudicial killings in our country. It helps the
authority to lessen and diminish corrupt individuals, prohibits unjust judicial processes,
and to stop connivance and bribery of individuals especially those government officials.

On the other hand, let us envision the deeper understanding of the Senate
Resolution No. 142, that this resolution is unconstitutional within the bounds of
Philippine jurisdiction. It is clearly stated that the resolution have a positive outcomes or
results, but it is not good to implement in our country, because we have fair, right and
justice judicial processes or judicial system that every crimes and cases are much
scrutinize by the Supreme Court and lower courts wherein judicial branch settle actual
controversies which involves rights that are legally demandable and enforceable. We
should not easily adapt or implement resolutions, law or even bills from the other
countries, because we have different government and especially we have our own
Republic Act – Philippine Laws, which is not suitable, applicable or implementing to
other countries. In the case of Senator De Lima, it is clearly and evidently proven and
scrutinize by the President through drug matrix, Supreme Court and other witnesses
that she was accused of taking bribes from the detainee drug lords when she was a
Justice Minister and she was legally charged based on Republic Act. No. 9165,
Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act under Section 5, Sale and Trading of Illegal
Drugs, Section 26, Attempt or Conspiracy in the Sale and Trade of Illegal Drugs and
Section 28, Criminal Liability of Government Official and Employee. In addition, the
Resolution no. 142 of U.S. was implemented because of harassment arrest, critic arrest
and accused to Senator De Lima, there is no any harassment case that the government
do, it is just a way on how the government scrutinize the information needed to solved
the case and allegations. U.S. Senate should clarify first and investigate information
about happenings and crimes in the Philippines, they should also consult first to the
U.S. Ambassador before they made a decision or resolution in the case of Senator De
Lima. We have so called "Due process" that was referring to a constitutional guarantee
that avoids the government from abusive ways and an equitable treatment of the judicial
system of a certain country. It is also an affront, disrespect, and insult for the
government of the country especially in the sovereignty of the Philippines.

We should know our own rights and responsibilities as a human and as a citizen
of our country. We have fair, righteous, and justifiable way or process of scrutinizing
facts, information, and evidences wherein it is in our Philippine Constitutions and
through that we promote, patriotize, and unified as one citizen. U.S. Senate Resolution
No. 142 is un constitutional within the bounds of Philippine jurisdiction for it was lack of
respect and consideration for the government and in the sovereignty of the Philippines
and also U.S. Senate must have first consultation and clarification before they make a
rare decision to avoid misunderstanding and conflict between each countries.
