"Mr President, impunity and corruption are an ever-growing problem in the Philippines. Long-standing corruption in the country has also kept foreign investors away from the country.
The roots of impunity date back to the bloodbath in Maguindanao in 2009. The murders of eye-witnesses to the massacre are a source of shame in the Filipino judicial system. There are clearly political motives behind the violence and enforced disappearances.
The Philippines must act in accordance with its international obligations. There must be proper protection for people testifying in court and for their families. I call on the European External Action Service to monitor developments in the country’s political situation and, in particular, the hearing with regard to the massacre already referred to."@en1
