The 2020 fiscal year has been a challenging period. It will not be an exaggeration to say that it is impossible to reflect on this period without focusing on the tragic circumstances that have beset the Philippines and the world since December 2019 – namely, the eruption of Taal Volcano, the devastating typhoons Rolly and Ulysses that hit several provinces including the National Capital Region, and the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, with its widespread community lockdowns. The resulting loss of lives, disruption to livelihood, and destruction to property continue to heavily impact the Philippine economy and society as a whole, but more especially on the most vulnerable sectors in our communities. It has been during these most trying times that we have seen the worst and the best of mankind. This is the backdrop against which we see the display of commitment of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to stand firm on its mandate to protect and promote human rights. Despite the limitations presented by the quarantine restrictions combined with budget reduction, the CHR did not waiver in working for the achievement of its 2020 commitments in its Promotion and Policy Advisory outputs. In Protection, the Commission resolved 1,693 cases. Of these, 429 were resolved for filing of cases in the proper judicial and executive agencies; 1,047 were either closed, terminated, or dismissed; and 16 were resolved through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Despite the prohibition of physical jail visitations as part of the pandemic measures, the Prevention work continued through the e-Dalaw, the online jail visitation program. Through this platform, 849 places of detention were checked and 1,982 persons deprived of liberty (PDL) were provided with legal assistance. To ensure that the public is kept informed of their human rights during these critical times, the conduct of webinars, posting of information materials on various social media platforms, and -- notwithstanding logistical challenges posed by the quarantine restrictions -- the conduct of human rights celebratory events via live streaming or a blend of physical and live streaming. The CHR Promotion accomplishments proudly consist of 240 training sessions conducted face-to-face
