Commission on Human Rights (CHR)
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has started a probe on the complaint of Karapatan, an advocacy group, against a Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) official who allegedly harassed women protesters last July 16.
Cristina “Tinay” Palabay, Karapatan secretary general, posted on social media a photograph of the protesters and the DILG official she accused of harassing them. The protest was held outside the DILG offices in Quezon City.
In her post, Palabay said: “This certain Noel Dumalag of the Emergency Operations Command of the DILG (the guy in green) told me this morning (July 16) to eat his [expletive] after he harassed, pushed, harangued a majority of women protesters, including mothers, wives and sisters of drug war victims in the peaceful protest action which observed physical distancing and health protocols.”

Fire and water: Mutual aid in the aftermath of the Texas freeze Print
Back in February, Winter Storm Uri brought snow, ice, and below-freezing temperatures to much of North America. Over 170 Million people in the US received weather alerts, many of which lost their electricity, heat, and access to clean water for days and even weeks. At least 136 people died, and the damages resulting from electricity blackouts have been estimated to be more than $195 billion dollars, which is the most expensive single disaster event in US history.
Arguably, one of the worst-hit regions spanned across the entire state of Texas, where a massive electricity failure left more than four and a half million homes and businesses without power for days.
