Cong. Ocampo recalls that from 16 November 2000 up to 12 August 2005, he had personally brought to Ms. Arroyo’s attention the flagrant political killings. At every opportunity that he met and talked with Ms. Arroyo, he personally denounced these killings and demanded that she take decisive action. To his chagrin, however, in most instances, Ms. Arroyo appeared cold and indifferent. At other times, her actions were perfunctory, noting the coplaints and not much else, She betrayed an utter lack of political will to stop the killings. And in spite of her personal knowledge of the abhorrent human rights record of certain military and police officials, she nonetheless promoted them. The prime example of this is Gen. Palparan whom Pres. Arroyo has promoted twice. Cong. Ocampo points to the fact that not only does Ms. Arroyo have command responsibility, but she also has moral and political responsibility for all these human rights violations. Her studied silence all this time can readily be inferred as tolerating, encouraging and abetting these violations. Understandably, her responsibility for the perpetration of these human rights violations committed with impunity, stems from her government’s own counter-insurgency program and unqualified support for the United States’ so-called “war on terror” and her pronouncements, policies and excessive measures which have contributed, abetted and engendered the attacks on the lives and the democratic rights of the Filipino people.
