BUSINESS WORLD: LUIS V. TEODORO
If Mr. Aquino's deed don't match his words in the press freedom and free expression domains, neither do they match his words as far as human rights are concerned. Doubtless the celebration of Human Rights Day this Monday, Dec. 10, will be one more occasion during which Mr. Aquino will dish out the usual cliches about his commitment to human rights, complete with reminders that his parents were themselves victims of human rights violations. And yet, human rights violations are not only continuing but have even escalated in scope and number since he came to power in 2010.
