Sen. Grace Poe Hits Mayor Duterte’s Human Rights Records

Presidential candidate Sen. Grace Poe hits Mayor Rodrigo Duterte on his human rights records during the commemoration of International Human Rights Day on Thursday. Although the disqualified presidential candidate did not mention the name of Mayor Duterte but is very clear on her statement.

Sen. Grace Poe warned the Filipino public to carefully chose the next leader of the country, this leader should upholds and not just respect the human rights in the face of challenges.

The adopted daughter of Fernando Poe Jr., and Susan Roces was quoted as saying “A government or people who abuse human rights are violating international human rights and have no right to lead our country,” she stated.

Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of Davao City made headlines earlier after he toppled the former popularity polls front runner Sen. Grace Poe after the Mayor officially announced his intention to run for President while Sen. Grace Poe was declared by the Comelec 2nd Division as a disqualified candidate.

During the gathering at the International Human Rights Day, she noted that if a government allows the right of constituents to be violated, it cannot lead the people, Poe said. Everybody should enjoy these rights, whether rich or poor, she said. “Everybody should be included and nobody should be left behind. This includes the right to choose a leader,” she said.
