Let’s Analyze
Activity 4.2. Answer the following questions.

1. Explain how an international law becomes a part of our Philippine law.

An international law becomes a part of our Philippine law when our


country basically started to adopt treaties, doctrines and general principles
of an international law.

2. Is the adoption of the Geneva Convention and its Additional Protocols has
helped the Philippines in addressing its problems in relation to the violation
of human rights in the country?

Yes, it strengthens the citizens in the way that it sets out as a basic
principle and treaty of human rights in dealing violation like the lack of
human control and systems.

3. What do you think is the benefit of Republic Act No. 10368 to the victims of
Martial Law during the time of Marcos?

For me the benefit of the before said act to the victims is that it
recognize their heroism, sacrifice and acknowledge their sufferings and
damages inflicted upon them during the regime of former President
Marcos.
In a Nutshell
MY ARTICLE. It is known that Republic Act 9851 and Republic Act 10368 are
laws that protect human rights and prohibit gross violations of human rights in
the Philippines. In this portion of the unit, you will be asked to utilize your
internet connections. You are required to search any kind of article that
contains violations of Ra 9851 and RA 10368 that you think has jeopardized the
rights accorded to every Filipinos.

The article must come from reliable sources in the internet. This must be
handwritten. At the last page of the article however, you must give your own
opinion whether you personally think that it is a violation of the laws or not.
Explain your view.

Q & A LIST. This section allows you to list down all emerging questions or
issues. Questions or issues may be also raised in the Schoology, Facebook
messenger, email and etc. If not through online, you can write your answers in
this printed module after clarification. This Q & A portion will help you in the
review of concepts and essential knowledge

Based on the article of Rappler, Drug suspects are still killed even after
surrendering to authorities, which is a violation of Hors de combat under Ra 9851.

In my own point of view, it is clearly a violation of the rights accorded to every


Filipino considering that each human being has the right to life and right against cruel,
inhuman and degrading punishment, without due process of the law. Shame to those
victims who do clearly expressed an intention to surrender and not attempting or trying to
escape in the hands of the authorities yet being murdered judgmentally.
