THE PREAMBLE OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS SAYS, "THE RECOGNITION OF THE INHERENT DIGNITY AND OF THE EQUAL AND INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF ALL MEMBERS OF HUMAN FAMILY IS THE FOUNDATION OF FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND PEACE IN THE WORLD."
IT WAS ALSO STATED THERE THAT, "IT IS VERY ESSENTIAL IF MAN IS NOT TO BE COMPELLED TO HAVE RECOURSE, AS A LAST RESORT, TO REBELLION AGAINST TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION, THAT HUMAN RIGHTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE RULE OF LAW."
VARIOUS GROUPS AND ORGANIZATION LODGED THEIR PETITION TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO REAFFIRM THE HUMAN RIGHTS TO ADEQUATE HOUSING. HOUSING IS A RIGHT OF EVERY HUMAN.
WE HAVE STILL PLENTY OF LANDS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO SOCIAL HOUSING. EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS ARE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING HOUSING FOR ITS DWELLERS. THIS WILL BE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR INFORMAL SETTLERS SPROUTING IN THE CITY.
FROM THE SENATORS DOWN TO BARANGAY CAPTAINS THEY HAVE SO-CALLED DEVELOPMENT FUNDS THAT WERE USED UNWISELY AND INDISCRIMINATELY. EVEN SK OR SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN CHAIRMAN HAVE THIS.
EVEN TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THIS DEVELOPMENT FUNDS WERE USED FOR HOUSING, WE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WILL NEVER BEGGED TO OTHER NATIONS TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR OUR PEOPLE.
OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ENJOYING THIS BASIC RIGHTS AND HAVE MORE HOUSES, WHILE THEIR CONSTITUENTS DEPRIVED THE RIGHT FOR A DECENT HABITAT.
