          The National Anti-Poverty Commission – Workers in the Informal Sector Council Extends its warmest salute to the Presidential Human Rights Committee, the Commission on Human Rights, other participating government agencies, the participating organizations, the vulnerable sectors and the United Nations Development Programme, for coming out, with the “Second National Human Rights Action Plan of the Philippines 2010-2014’

          We are touched by your strong sentiments, concerns and concerted efforts, to help the vulnerable sectors, mainstreamed in all policies and programs towards decent life.  Yet to be seen, in the implementation of such a plan, we are very hopeful, that the vulnerable sectors, like the workers in the informal economy, children, women, elderly, indigenous people, and the

persons with disabilities will be socially, economically and politically empowered.  We are also prayerful that the government will continue instituting timely reforms in meeting global challenges to be able to carry its functions of protecting and developing the vulnerable sectors.

          The Workers in the Informal Sector Council, and its General Assembly of 125 organizations, across the seventeen (17) administrative regions of the country,  are in one with you, in facing the  challenges, that call for a greater impact, sustainability, and significant reach among the vulnerable sectors, in the implementation of the “Second National Human Rights Action Plan of the Philippines 2004-2010”.   

          Let us, through a national solidarity, put an end to policies and practices that  provided windows,  for creating chaos to the lives of the poor and vulnerable people !

          Let us, through a national solidarity, provides decent work for every Filipino, may it be in formal employment or in entrepreneurial endeavors!

          Let us, through a national solidarity, eliminate child labour!

          Let us, through a national solidarity, put an end to violence against women and children!

          Let us, through a national solidarity,  eliminate  the bottlenecks to access  justice and  social  protection !

Let us, through a national solidarity, provides representation of the vulnerable sectors in various policy and decision-making bodies!

Ending human rights violations then, wouldn’t be far.

MARAMING SALAMAT AT MABUHAY!
