lpv:translated text	"Mr President, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the Philippines continue to report cases of torture, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and political assassinations of activists, especially those on the left, and of journalists. While it is true that the number of these assassinations seems to be falling, Reporters Without Borders considers the Philippines to be one of the countries with the highest number of predators of press freedom in the world. Corruption continues to reign supreme and facilitates impunity, especially in the military. Admittedly, reforms have been announced, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court has been ratified and the trial of the perpetrators of the Maguindanao massacre – the worst massacre of journalists the world has ever seen, in which more than 30 journalists were killed – is under way. This is to be welcomed, but concrete results are, to say the least, slow in coming and the announced witness protection programme seems to be a sweet-sounding euphemism, as shown by the dreadful murder of Esmail Amin Enog, who was chopped up with a chainsaw. He was one of the main prosecution witnesses at the trial of the Ampatuan family, which was behind the Maguindanao massacre. He was the third witness to be murdered in this affair. Even so, funding for the EU-Philippines Justice Support Programme (EPJUST) has been raised from EUR 4 million to EUR 10 million. The aim of this programme is to improve criminal justice in order to put an end to extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. I have a few doubts, to say the least, as to its effectiveness."@en1
