CHR investigates Cebu resort row involving child with special needs By JOVILAND RITA, GMA News Published December 13, 2020 10:48am Cebu resort's supposed discrimination of a child with special needs has drawn the attention of the Commission on Human Rights, prompting it to launch an investigation. On Sunday, CHR said its Regional Office 7 began its probe last week into the matter, noting that the commission is mandated to protect the rights of vulnerable sectors including children with special needs. “Our Regional Office in Region 7 started its motu proprio investigation last week,” CHR told GMA News Online in a text message. It said that aside from its mandate, the commission also pointed out that the Philippines is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and that the incident can be a matter related to persons with disabilities.
