Monsters of the highway causing hundreds of deaths and injuries... Buses falling off cliffs and snuffing one innocent life after another... Shootouts and bloody encounters that end up with alleged suspects dead, forever silenced... Police torture in the city, where the video of a naked man writhing in agony as he is trussed up, hit and his private parts tied draws a collective gasp from a nation that had begun to imagine itself immune to pain and suffering. But no one can be immune in these tortured times. Human errors causing untold tragedy, human negligence resulting in unexpected calamities, and plain inhumanity, such as those that are often just whispered about or never see the light of day – these are the true reasons there continues to be misery and disaster in the world we love to call “modern.” Following the release of a disturbing footage taken inside what appears to be the police community precinct in Asuncion, Tondo, a place described in the news as “crime-infested” and “plebeian,” government and concerned human rights bodies are adamant that action be taken to address the issue of human rights violations in our time.
