MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Human Rights on Tuesday lauded the bill seeking drug abuse and treatment centers in the provinces but called for a human rights-based approach prioritizing health, rehabilitation, and socio-economic interventions for the recovery of drug users.

 

In a statement sent to reporters Tuesday morning, the CHR said it was willing to work with the office of Sen. Bong Go, who filed Senate Bill No. 48 seeking to establish a Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Center in every province.

 

“While it is true that the national government has consistently centered its campaign against drugs on crime prevention and eradication, it has not lost sight of its duty to aid in the recovery of those whose lives have been destroyed by illegal drugs," the bill's explanatory note reads. Of note, Go acknowledged the need to consider drug addicts as “victims."
