New fed consti includes "right to food and housing"
QUESTION: Does the inclusion of the right to food and housing guarantee that every Filipino shall have food and housing?
ANSWER: No it does not. No constitution can do that. But the significance of having that in the Bill of Rights is that when food is available either for sale at reasonable cost or distribution, then the people have a demandable and a justiciable right to it. NFA can be compelled by appropriate court writ to sell its stock, whatever its contingency plans. In respect to housing, Congress cannot put this concern in the back-burner as citizens who urgently need it may demand it, either administratively or judicially. SOURCE: Fr.

RIGHT TO FOOD AND THE UN: Enough food is produced to feed everyone, but almost 800 million people currently suffer from chronic hunger. The right to adequate food is a human right. It is also a legal obligation under international law. Juan Carlos García y Cebolla, Right to Food Team Leader of the FAO Social Policies and Rural Institutions Division, together with Serena Pepino, Project Officer explain the importance of a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to food security and nutrition in tackling the root causes of hunger and malnutrition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la-S53wfG6w
