"Mr President, our debate was triggered by the third crime committed against the witnesses in the trial of the 2009 Maguindanao massacre, where 58 people, including women and journalists, were killed for political reasons. The state of impunity in the Philippines cannot go on forever, especially since we have seen that the price of this impunity is new lives being sacrificed. Political killings and disappearances remain common in the Philippines, and their perpetrators are encouraged by the complicity of the corrupt judicial system. Unfortunately, the protection criminals benefit from does not apply to journalists who are the victims of harassment and brutal intimidation. The fact that justice is sacrificed in violent score-settling between the private militias of political and economic clans is of extreme concern, and it condemns the Philippine society to poverty, corruption and façade democracy. We call on the Philippine authorities to take urgent action against these bloody methods aimed at silencing the other witnesses in the Maguindanao massacre trial."@en1
