CHAIR LEILA M. DE LIMA’s REACTION ON THE ISSUE ON WHISTLEBLOWERS

(via SMS)

31 May 2010

So who’s harassing who? As CHR Chair and an advocate for human rights and human dignity, I was just expressing my views and opinion on the need to protect bona fide whistleblowers, in reaction to the reported incident involving Comm Ferrer and 2 alleged whistleblowers. I’m always after respect for human dignity of everyone, regardless of his status in life. I was expecting a more professional and rational response from the good Commissioner and definitely not such threats of a lawsuit and allusions of ill motives on my part. I’m sorry but I cannot be bullied by anyone!
