Philippines Abstains in Signing the Resolution Condemning Israel’s Attacks on Lebanon

According to an article in Sunstar Davao (September 3, 2006), the Philippines has abstained from signing the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Resolution which condemns Israel’s attacks on Lebanon. After all that the Filipinos in Lebanon went through, the country chooses not to take sides??? Is our government not willing to stand up for its citizens? Not willing to stand up for humanity? A great injustice has happened to countless people in Lebanon, including Filipinos, and yet we choose not to condemn what has happened? What do we stand for?
