MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Human Rights welcomed the high trust rating of the Department of Justice, saying Wednesday that it hopes this "will further propel the agency's momentum in resolving human rights cases."

 

This comes after Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra welcomed the results of an independent survey last year showing that the DOJ obtained the highest trust rating among the departments in the executive branch with 67%. Guevarra attributed the high rating of his department to its efforts in upholding the rule of law and human rights.

 

In a statement sent to reporters, the CHR reiterated its recognition of the efforts of the DOJ, pointing in particular to the DOJ’s probe into the Batangas couple killed on "Bloody Sunday" raids and the criminal charges filed by DOJ against law enforcers in the Commonwealth shootout.
