thread_title: Untitled

message: Agreed.
User descendall has posted a suggestion that the article Extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances in the Philippines be merged into this article.
I think this proposal for a merge is the best way to go here.Susanbryce (talk) 15:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully object, disagree to the merger, and hereby submit my reasons: a) I myself created the landmark article on Philippine Extrajudicial Killings and Desaparecidos, which article is vastly, enormously and substantially different from this Human right article. I am a lawyer and judge. My forte is law, and I created that article with so many links and citations or references, tracing the rich history of the article and events. b) With all due respect to the creator of this article - User:Bkwillwm said in his page that: "My Wikipedia interests generally have to do with history and politics. I am especially interested in covering areas that seem to be neglected by Wikipedia, such as Native Americans. I am also interested in improving Spain and Morocco related articles. I have translated several Spanish articles for the English Wikipedia. I am also working on improving Wikipedia's coverage of my homestate, Virginia, and its history."; So, based on his credentials, I am more qualified to have authored the Philippine article since I am here in the Philippines, had studied its laws, while the author had no special stint in Philippine jurisprudence. And c) Filipino law students, jurists, professors, and even legislators had used and would in the future use my article for research, especially, now, when killings here multiply. Foreign legal scholars too will use my article on killings.
I suggest therefore, that this article be the one merged there, in my article, as section or sub-section, since my article is broader and more comprehensive or the MOTHER or PARENT of this article. Cheers. -- --Florentino floro (talk) 08:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Another point, I noticed that User:Descendall was deleted, so, the tag there for merger, is now vandalism, it obviously was intended to vandalize my article. Please consider then, alternatively, that this article be merged into my article. -- --Florentino floro (talk) 08:44, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Objection

message: In this edit, I reverted a good faith edit which added an unsupported assertion saying "Succeeding U. S. State Department Reports on the Philippines after 2006 to present have since gradually shown marked improvement in the area of human rights." to the lead. I had intended to add cite of , but after glance at the individual reports for some years, that assertion seemed overblown. I haven't taken the time to look carefully at each of the reports, though. See 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, current (presently for 2011). Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 16:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

message: See hidden content.  Do NOT put back into the article because this is all copy and pasted.  No paraphrasing.  See .  70% of this is copied and pasted from one of two sources: http://www.lclark.edu/live/files/15865-mapuche- and http://www.elaw.org/assets/word/phil.SC%20on%20IPRA.doc. --Lucas559 (talk) 00:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Please discuss with  before adding back in, again.   Taking from the book is a copyright violation.  However, if this is a law and written by the Philippine Government, then it would be ok.  Try finding a government site.  Bgwhite (talk) 06:22, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: , thankfully the government of the Phillippines is open access (see gov't site).  But much of the hidden content is commentary, not government statements as far as I can tell.  Paraphrase the commentary (and cite) and include the 'facts' with gov't website references.  Lucas559 (talk) 20:40, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article as of (3 March 2021) needs significant expansion in terms of the concept of human rights itself, as manifested in Philippine history, law, and custom. The present article is more about human rights violations than human rights per se. This expansion is a big challenge so I'm encouraging other editors to please help. I will do what I can.- MistahPeemayer (talk) 11:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs to be clearer about the concept itself 

message: The following content was copied from Labor Code of the Philippines
The Labor Code is the legal code governing employment practices and labor relations in the Philippines. The Labor Code stipulates standards in terms of wages and monetary benefits, hours of work, leave, rest days, holiday pays, and benefits, among others. The Labor Code sets the rules for hiring and firing of private employees; the conditions of work including maximum work hours and overtime; employee benefits such as holiday pay, thirteenth-month pay and retirement pay; and the guidelines in the organization and membership in labor unions as well as in collective bargaining. The prevailing labor code allows the typical working hour to be 8 hours a day, i.e. 48 hours a week with the provision that at least a day should be allowed to the workers as weekly off.
Will also add a note on that article's talk page. - Crisantom (talk) 02:47, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
