CHR head Gascon should be impeachedONE of the first things the new Congress should do is to kick out of office Commission on Human Rights chairman Chito Gascon, one of the remaining hold-outs of the Yellow Cult in this government. While impeachment is unfortunately the only official way to remove Gascon since the CHR is a constitutional body, we cannot allow Gascon to spread for another three years his lies about the country. I initially couldn’t believe the CHR would claim that figure so I checked the article from which that comedian got that information. Buried down in the piece though, the article reported: “Chito Gascon, the chairman of the Philippine Commission on Human Rights, said the toll could be as high as 27,000.”Wow. This kind of lazy and irresponsible reporting, from a Columbia University journalism school dean, and former head of its investigative journalism unit, and about her home country.
