In a statement on Tuesday, UP Diliman’s executive committee said: “Atty. Roque has a very poor track record of promoting, defending, and fulfilling human rights obligations especially during the administration of President Rodrigo R. Duterte which he serves as a Cabinet member.”
“His public defense of extrajudicial killings, his belittling of the competence and jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, and his cavalier disregard of the effects of domestic violations of human rights, among others make him ill-suited for the work of the Commission,” said the group led by its chair, Chel Diokno.
“I understand that my actions, especially in accepting a Cabinet post as spokesperson to the president will not please everyone. However, the flimsy justification made to object to my nomination and election to the ILC makes it clear that there are some sectors who will do everything to besmirch my good name, reputation, and integrity simply because I do not subscribe to and share their same political beliefs,” he said.
Roque had also defended the president’s decision to withdraw the country’s membership from the International Criminal Court , which is investigating his brutal war on drugs. Before joining the Duterte administration, Roque was the lead campaigner for Philippine membership in the ICC.But it was Roque’s recent outburst against doctors during an online meeting on the pandemic response that provided more ammo for his critics.
Wala ka ng mukha rukihari! Makakspunta ka pa ba sa UP? Talagang makapal mukha mo pag nagpunta ka pa! Basuraaaa! Pig!!
