Published July 6, 2021, 11:30 AM Commission on Human Rights (CHR) The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) asked the government to conduct a “thorough investigation” into the Air Force C-130 plane crash in Patikul, Sulu last July 4 to ensure that a similar tragedy would not happen again. After concluding its rescue and retrieval operations on Monday, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) confirmed that 52 soldiers and civilians died in the crash. This was considered as one of the deadliest military air disasters recorded in Philippine history. In a statement, CHR Deputy Spokesperson Marc Louis Siapno said that the country’s soldiers deserve to be given adequate safety and protection especially since they are risking their lives to offer the same protection for civilians.
