Yesterdya #VeraFiles hosted a forum in #roadsafety and invited key people pushing laws to make people safe on the streets. Officials on the implementation side also presented their accomplishments and plans. I think the highlight of the whole day forum was people with disabilities speaking before government officials urging them to include #pwd groups in planning. While gov’t have already introduced changes, they said the measure are still dangerous for them. #journalism #saferoadsPH #buckleupkidsph #photojournalism #photography #news #senateph #congressph #personswithspecialneeds #personswithdisability #saferoads #roadcrash #childsafety (at Edsa Shangri-La, Manila)

Against Death. These are some of the Congress Reps who stood against the death penalty even if it would mean a target on their backs, even when they would lose their committee chairmanships, even if the repercussions of standing #AgainstDeath could be for the long term. A reminder that for this government, and in this Congress, what the President wants, he will get. And we salute and say thank you to the few who dared say no. That tribe might be small, but often these days we realize that what is right is NEVER about the numbers. We are also reminded that on #WomensMonth, it is being human and humane that we wish for. #discoursePH #congressPH
