Human rights in the Philippines

Human rights in the Philippines are protected by the Constitution and international law, but significant challenges remain, particularly regarding extrajudicial killings, freedom of expression, and the treatment of activists. While the law provides for rights like freedom of speech, assembly, and religion, recent reports highlight persistent issues with accountability for unlawful killings, the continuation of "red-tagging," and violence against journalists and human rights defenders.
