The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has strongly condemned the killing of two unarmed civilians in Brgy. Cabayaoasan in Paniqui, Tarlac on Sunday afternoon and called on the government to put a stop to the culture of impunity in the country.

The video of the police officer shooting two unarmed civilians – Sonya Gregorio, 52, and Frank Anthony Gregorio, 25 – at close range went viral on social media on Monday morning.

CHR Spokesperson Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia said that the “brazen, senseless killing” of civilians deserves their strongest condemnation. “While investigations continue to ascertain the reason for the altercation, no one deserves to be deprived of their life at whim,” she said. “Each and every police is expected to protect our rights. As such, it is unacceptable when they are the ones being at the forefront of perpetuating such human rights violations,” she said.
