We Need #YesToAnIndependentCHR Not To CHR Playing Partisan Politics

It really disgusts me how "expert" Agnes Callamard calls the Commission on Human Rights an independent institution. May I beg her pardon? CHR is NOT independent as long as it's under Atty. Chito Gascon or anybody who plays partisan politics. Atty. Gascon was appointed as the successor of Etta Rosales and he was the Director-General of the Liberal Party. So how can that be independent?
Getting CHR out of the Liberal Party's grasp and make it into an independent organization should be done. 

The current set-up of the CHR is the problem and not the existence of the organization itself. It should be monitoring all human rights violations regardless who commits them. It should not play partisan politics. At this point, the move for an independent CHR should be done as part of the whole check and balance process and not the use of selective justice.

My simple suggestion is that Atty. Gascon should be fired from his post because he's an extremely lazy fellow. How can CHR operate properly if it's held by an incompetent person? A competent person from the Public Attorney's Office could take over that empty slot. Get all the Dilawans out of CHR and make sure it doesn't do any partisan politics.
