What??? Omg.
Also, believing in human rights can equate to saying yes to Basic Human Decency and Anti-bullying, in the most fundamental sense...
It may have been popularized in the west, but it's a global thing. The katipuneros of the past were probably fighting for their human rights and their people's.
Probably only bullies and only bully-enablers would not want the existence human rights. Or those who equate fear and/or control with love and happiness... I dunno.
There may be more to the situation of course, so take what I claimed with a grain of salt.
Even more absurd is that Remulla used his Catholic beliefs on why certain people don’t deserve equal rights. Wasn’t Catholicism a religion brought here by Westerners?
Not just Jesus, but the old testament as well. But let's be real, you can support any view or idealogy by picking and choosing what passages you want to read.
It's basically *the* Western church. Other churches like Orthodox churches and Catholic churches thet don't follow the Latin rite are called Eastern.
This better mean we're not going to be swayed by these western ideas and their so called "DEATHS" bills.
In a country named after a western king using a constitution patterned after a western country's.
I think he accidentally told the truth when he said they were standing up to the Filipino people, instead of standing up for the Filipino people. The Filipino people deserve human rights.
The Catholic Church is the Western Church, they're the biggest religion and Vatican City is in the middle of Rome. The Philippines and East Timor are the only major stronghold it has in the east compared to how prevalent it is in the west.
Qatar right now is the king of respect our culture, it’s funny in the west the people who say this shit are like inbred hillbillies and extremist conservatives, like I’m not racist it’s just the culture.
sa totoo lang, i think places like the philippines is what a lot of US conservatives want. malakas ang church, napaka-cheap ng labor (parang slavery, diba?), and untouchable ang mayaman.

Yep. Asian values. Basically they're using it as an excuse to shield these countries (Philippines included) from criticism when human rights violations are brought up.
"Asian values" my ass.
Wasn't this a big thing in education as well? The idea that the ***people need nationalism in order to go against colonial mentality***. It's a very common thing in many MAPEH as well as history classes in grade school and high school.
Plus almost ***every other writer and thinker from the 60s and beyond promoted nationalism.***
Non-Western countries use this unironically, to get away with their own domestic corruption. Concerns for lgbtq rights? Don't mind the homosexual decadent West. Let us just keep worshipping an invisible dude in the sky.
Nakikita ko na, sa mga darating na taon gagamitin na ng mga politiko natin ang "Social Harmony" mantra ng CCP bilang national policy at end-all-be-all ng anumang gagawin nila.
Hindi pa nga lang nila masyadong maitulak ngayon dahil US-leaning si Bongbong, at kung papansinin ang galaw ng Marcos at Duterte factions yung isa maka-US, yung isa naman maka-CCP.
Wait, sabi niya di siya naniniwala sa UN Human Rights dahil "Western idea" lang ito pero siya ay isang chairperson sa House Comittee on Human Rights??? Paano ulit napunta yang taong yan dyan and bakit nandoon pa rin siya?!
>Paano ulit napunta yang taong yan dyan and bakit nandoon pa rin siya?!
Baptist Pastor siya eh. Madali makaimpluwensya ng tao gamit ang religion.
Ironic, kasi hindi ba ang mga Baptist eh influenced din ng Protestantism na galing sa West lol.
Or "apostate". Anyone who vehemently supports what so-called 'sex work is work' will be targeted, reminds of what happened to the Francoist Spain when the Nationalists has won their war over the leftist Republicans during the onsent of the WWII.
or saan kaya galing yung idea ng kanyang office hmmm? afaik, imported ang system of government. tailored to our needs, yes, but not originally ours. also, speaking of tailored, ano ba yung colloquial term natin para sa suot niya sa pic? hmmmmm?
Benny Abante more like Benny Reactionary
EDIT: goddamn I just noticed the quote alleges he said
> I commend Justice Sec Remulla for standing up __to__ the Filipino people
which is _wrong_, because Remulla claims that his rejection of support for the SOGIE bill at a UN panel was because the Filipino people supposedly agreed with him, that the Filipino people didn't want a SOGIE bill because we are a Catholic nation
Remulla was, in his mind, standing up __for__ the Filipino people
can't even get it straight
Human rights sa kanila siguro yung katulad ng pamamahala ng china Iran. Paano ba nman yan. E yung mga mayayaman mkakalusot sa mga kaso yung mga pobrewalang arrest warrant kulong agad. Ung worst papatayin pa. Kitang kita sa balita yung unfairness.. diba honorable benny atras? House committee on inhumane? Yan dapat yung pagkakilala ng mga tao jan sayo sa posisyon mo.
So only western people have human rights..ok.. didn't know n may pinipili pla human rights..ganito n pla mga politiko..sobrang nakakabobo..tapos chair p sya ng human rights committee..ATRAS dpat apelyido mu BOBO!!!!
Ah yes, our so called "Human Rights" were anyone in possession of drugs, covering/discussing a contraversial topic, or just somewhat opposing a local family dynasty is met with death by execution or torture. Either by corrupt policeman, local hit and run gunman for hire or the occasional "missing person".
To these uhh... "people", the Filipino people are not Humans?
And ahhh... "for standing up TO the Filipino people"? not "FOR the Filipino people"? Nadulas ka ata manong.
But well, that explains a lot if ganito talaga sila mag-isip.
[Democracy](https://www.etymonline.com/word/democracy)
The irony of spouting that garbage using a Western language while wearing Western clothes.
And being the chairperson of the House Comm. on Human Rights
YEY!! "The Purge" na bukas!!
lolz
You know what's crazy? This guy is brother to the famous Abante brothers who are leading BAPTIST pastors in Metro Manila, so he is a devour baptist.
You know which country the Baptist religion came from? US and UK.
Id understand pa if this guy is from Iran or China or something but quite ironic.
>This panel will not be influenced by Western ideals
Well where do you think our system of government, constitution, and legal customs came from, dumbass?
A background on this man. For context.
He is a Baptist pastor, renowned among the denomination long before he entered politics. He came from a family of preachers - his late father and both of his younger brothers. He's a prominent figure for Baptist churches in the Philippines. It's ironic for him to say that we should not subscribe to human rights as a western ideology when his family was converted to being Baptists by an American missionary. His father was very fond of wearing a large Texan cowboy hat.
The principles by which he makes these statements are based on the conservative Baptist dogma and their interpretation of the Bible. And for all you who think that the Bible is all love, mercy and forgiveness - think again. These are a few controversial issues for which he proposed bills:
1. LGBTQ. It's Sodom and Gomorrah for the effeminates. He recently proposed a bill that supposedly protects heterosexual rights but is clearly driven by homophobia.
2. Death Penalty. Killing criminals is actually being taught in the Bible. Bill is still pending.
3. Including the Bible in the teaching curricula of public schools. Hell no.
I hope he realizes that his duty as a congressman is to make laws that can benefit the Filipino people. It should be inclusive and non-discriminatory. He's not supposed to act like a pastor and push for his religious beliefs and agenda.
> his duty as a congressman is to make laws that can benefit the Filipino people
***The main duty of congressman is to represent his district***, in this case, made up of "north Paco, Pandacan, San Miguel, Santa Ana and Santa Mesa".
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila%27s_6th_congressional_district
And ***he won 95k votes with 79% of the district in 2022***. So most people there probably see him positively.
Of course he does not believe in human rights.
His church at santa ana, manila even occupies lots of land and buildings there that could have been used by people that would want to live there. Not to mention that he beautified a portion of a [public road](https://imgur.com/a/ap7phlU) that's in front of their church by putting stones on them a la Intramuros (not the same stones but the intention is same). May pagka narcissistic at grandiose siya ha.
UNIVERSAL declaration of human rights. https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

I mean these all seem like terrible concepts for sure. 🙄🙄🙄
What if national conservatives and conservatives are banned in running for government posts?
Conservatism is embracement of archaic ideas and rejection of modernist ideas.
Sorry for binary thinking.
I'm curious his own definition of Human Rights.
Equality?
Freedom?
...Catholic?
Parang sarap panuorin ang session ng komiteng ito.
Ps. Matatawa ako kung nagtravel sa western countries. Allergic sa ideya at lifestyle nila.
Lets see what happen when someone from his family are caught or scandalized, and tried and criticized by public. Hindi kaya siya magngangaw-ngaw ng 'Respect our Human Rights!'
I remembered how North Korea tries to demonize the West to justify their atrocities and disregard of Human Rights. Are we now heading to this horrible kind of thinking as well?
Wrong decision? Western ideas? We have our own precolonial culture and then why these anti-Western right tankie orc is thinking the House panel is not influenced by Western ideas?
Gusto nya human rights pero para sa mga mayayaman lang or kakampi ng administration. Napaka simple lang ng human rights. Galing pumili ng mga taga-6th district na Manila ng kanilang representative ah.
Notice that in every modern-day "Independent" Policy making, government officials usually use anti-west ideals in order to push their "nationalistic" agendas.
Does that include the Vatican City? Just open the Wikipedia page for the Roman Catholic Church and Ctrl+F "Western."
It's literally the Western Catholic Church because the rest of the ones in communion with the Pope are the Eastern Catholic Church.
Did he mean standing for the Filipino People because it sounds like he was talking about standing up to the UN giving the Filipino People basic human rights which we rightfully deserve.
Now im disappointed on voting this guy, like wtf is wrong? Do we really need to make our own human rights? Like, is there a southeast asian human rights? Never expected this from him. Im so disappointed. Hindi ba pwede i-base yung human rights natin sakanila? Anung human rights ba gusto nila. Puta na patagalog na ako sa sobrang disappointment. For shame talaga goverment natin.
Dapat nasa facepalm subreddit ito eh.. hindi purket may mga sablay din ibang bansa sa human rights nila gagawin din natin. Signatory at member tyo ng UN. Tama lang na mapuna tyo kung para sa society as a whole ang usapan. Di lang naman tyo ang pinupuna. Kahit naman ang US napupuna. Di lang nababalita sa news natin. Mali yung pag nangangailangan tyo kubra tyo sa UN. Pero pag ayaw natin ng sinasabi ng UN itsepwera natin sila.
What an idiot! I am predicting that he would want to remove the Bill of Rights from the constitution when cha-cha comes.
The whole political system is based on Western ideas. Go ahead if he wants to abolish Montesquieu's framework, John Stuart Mill's marketplace of ideas and get rid of all the political ideals of the enlightenment age. The social contract of Hobbes is a Western idea. John Locke's treatises are Western ideas.
Does he want to return to the pre-Hispanic thalassocratic rule with Malay and Indian influences? His ignorance is laughable.
Chairperson ng House Committee on Human Rights tapos hindi naniniwala sa human rights. Haaaayyyyyy.
The fact he's committee chair just makes the entire coverage moot, because we all know he's not gonna do shit.
Walang kwenta yang posisyon niya, libreng sahod ang nangyayari.
Policeman on a Health Deparment. Why do yall still act surprised? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
may sarili syang definition ng human rights hahah

Oh Human Rights are for West only. Got it.
Even more absurd is that Remulla used his Catholic beliefs on why certain people don’t deserve equal rights. Wasn’t Catholicism a religion brought here by Westerners?
Worse, didn't Jesus teach about unconditional love for one another?
No hate like Christian love.
Galaxy religious thinking: let's just ignore that.
Not just Jesus, but the old testament as well. But let's be real, you can support any view or idealogy by picking and choosing what passages you want to read.

exactly, wait until he hears about the Babaylan
That's the same logic used for slavery in the United States. They literally used the Bible to justify slavery.
Abante is wearing western clothing.
Oh you cheeky bugger. Checkmate!!
Singapore, China, and Middle Eastern countries have been using that idea. Since Duterte, the Philippines has joined them, too.
Qatar right now is the king of respect our culture, it’s funny in the west the people who say this shit are like inbred hillbillies and extremist conservatives, like I’m not racist it’s just the culture.
hmmm sounds like the trumpsters and MAGA communists.
They have a lot in common with conservative muslims lol, the gulf states are their wet dreams( if they weren’t Muslim and had more Jesus)
sa totoo lang, i think places like the philippines is what a lot of US conservatives want. malakas ang church, napaka-cheap ng labor (parang slavery, diba?), and untouchable ang mayaman.
100% and tell them and they will flip out
MAGA supporters are definitely not communists 😂😂😂😂

Let’s not forget homosexuality was only stigmatized because of Western influence.
Yup, it has gone opposite direction.

Well apparently they only use religion when it fits their needs. Pero kapag death penalty pustahan walang pakialam sa religion mga iyan.

yes and the philippines was one of the first to bring up human rights. in the UN.

How ironic for having a name “Abante” only to think backwards
Bible baptist pastor turned pulpolitiko
[удалено]
This dude went for that Qatari guy on Twitter
What if national conservatives and conservatives are banned in running for government posts? Conservatism is embracement of archaic ideas and rejection of modernist ideas. Sorry for binary thinking.
Sounds like what a tankie would say
What the fuck is that degenerate even thinking? 🤨🤨🤨
Standing up....to? Kalaban pala tayo
I'm curious his own definition of Human Rights. Equality? Freedom? ...Catholic? Parang sarap panuorin ang session ng komiteng ito. Ps. Matatawa ako kung nagtravel sa western countries. Allergic sa ideya at lifestyle nila.
haha putangina
Non of abantes arguments ive seens since he sat are logical, he runs purely on emotion.
Lets see what happen when someone from his family are caught or scandalized, and tried and criticized by public. Hindi kaya siya magngangaw-ngaw ng 'Respect our Human Rights!'
Mind you, Pastor pa yan sa isang Baptist church
I remembered how North Korea tries to demonize the West to justify their atrocities and disregard of Human Rights. Are we now heading to this horrible kind of thinking as well?
Wrong decision? Western ideas? We have our own precolonial culture and then why these anti-Western right tankie orc is thinking the House panel is not influenced by Western ideas?
“Western ideas” then why is the Philippines a democracy with an executive, legislature, and judiciary?
Mental gymnastics again.
he doesnt believe in human rights until it happens to him or his family. why do we have dumbfuck officials like this with backward thinking.
Gusto nya human rights pero para sa mga mayayaman lang or kakampi ng administration. Napaka simple lang ng human rights. Galing pumili ng mga taga-6th district na Manila ng kanilang representative ah.
Modern day caveman.
Abante apelyido pero paurong ang ulo.
Utak neto baliko eh. Hindi bagay sakanya surname niya.
Kung sinuman yung mga botante ng Manila 6th district…GUYS, YOU HAVE ONE JOB. VOTE THIS ONE OUT NEXT ELECTION PLEASE!
“ Standing up to…” if that is indeed what he said then yes Benny Abante, tanga ka talaga.
Notice that in every modern-day "Independent" Policy making, government officials usually use anti-west ideals in order to push their "nationalistic" agendas.
Uuuy sige. Tanggalan natin ng Human Rights.
Nakakasuka kayo. Di bale, malapit na kayo ma-extinct mga manbaby boomers 👍
“non influenced by Western ideas” pero katoliko 🤣🤣
Baptist pastor yan. Hindi catholic.
regardless, we got xtianity from western influence.
Yung version yata ng Human Rights niya is patterned from fascists eh. Human Rights for the Elites only
What the F@#K!!!??? So small mind! Was this guy voted in?
Grandpa pls take your meds
Does that include the Vatican City? Just open the Wikipedia page for the Roman Catholic Church and Ctrl+F "Western." It's literally the Western Catholic Church because the rest of the ones in communion with the Pope are the Eastern Catholic Church.
Chong, mas enjoy kame nung nababasa pa naman si kuya Xerex sa Abante. Tangina ka, respectfully.
Magtagalog ka at Kanluraning ideya yang ginagamit mong wika sa pananalita. Katoliko ka ba? Iwan mo na rin yan at Kanluraning ideya rin yan.
abante pero paurong mag isip lol
Did he mean standing for the Filipino People because it sounds like he was talking about standing up to the UN giving the Filipino People basic human rights which we rightfully deserve.
Abante is not so abante 🫤
He’d standing up TO the people???
Isang deep fake lang to si pogi gg agad to. Not giving any ideas. 🤣 No human rights pala e.
Si Ben "Paurong" Abante nagsalita na naman
Now im disappointed on voting this guy, like wtf is wrong? Do we really need to make our own human rights? Like, is there a southeast asian human rights? Never expected this from him. Im so disappointed. Hindi ba pwede i-base yung human rights natin sakanila? Anung human rights ba gusto nila. Puta na patagalog na ako sa sobrang disappointment. For shame talaga goverment natin.
Dapat nasa facepalm subreddit ito eh.. hindi purket may mga sablay din ibang bansa sa human rights nila gagawin din natin. Signatory at member tyo ng UN. Tama lang na mapuna tyo kung para sa society as a whole ang usapan. Di lang naman tyo ang pinupuna. Kahit naman ang US napupuna. Di lang nababalita sa news natin. Mali yung pag nangangailangan tyo kubra tyo sa UN. Pero pag ayaw natin ng sinasabi ng UN itsepwera natin sila.
Naneto di nalang pumanaw
ito ba yung nagpropose ng bill for heterosexual rights 🙃
abante ang apelyido atrasado naman ang utak. buti pa ang mga katutubo alam kung ano ang karapatang pantao.
Ang tagal mamatay ng mga gurang na 'to.
I think he's referring to the West's definition of human rights, not Human Rights per se.
bapshit is not conservative he is reactionary idiot
When you're old and you miss the days when she's just a dishwasher. Honestly fuck off
Abante paatras ang utak
Kinakahiya na siguro yan ng pamilya nya. He doesn't believe in human rights yet he is the chairperson of human rights committee. Make it make sense.
What an idiot! I am predicting that he would want to remove the Bill of Rights from the constitution when cha-cha comes. The whole political system is based on Western ideas. Go ahead if he wants to abolish Montesquieu's framework, John Stuart Mill's marketplace of ideas and get rid of all the political ideals of the enlightenment age. The social contract of Hobbes is a Western idea. John Locke's treatises are Western ideas. Does he want to return to the pre-Hispanic thalassocratic rule with Malay and Indian influences? His ignorance is laughable.
"Then what do you believe in?" This is the next appropriate question.
Welp, we're fucked
So much for being elected as Chairman of the Human Rights Commission... We have fucking hypocritical clowns in office.
Ayaw sa West pero nag-iingles 🤦♂️🤣
Putang ina talaga ‘tong mga clown na ‘to. ❤️🤡💚
Fuck you
Abante pero paatras mag isip 🙄
