The document discusses human rights issues that can arise from infrastructure development projects and the Philippine government's "Build, Build, Build" program. It states that the government has an obligation to protect human rights and ensure that both public and private actors involved in infrastructure projects are held accountable if any violations occur. The government should act as a protector of people's rights rather than enabling oppression and must respect constitutional limits and inherent human rights in all of its actions.

The state has the obligation and responsibility to see to it that both state actors and
non-state actors be held liable in case of human rights violations. The state must
not be the catalyst for oppressive acts against its people but rather be the protector
of rights of all its people. Their actions must not subvert the law and most
importantly must conform to constitutional limitations and respecting the inherent
rights of all its people. Respect means that the state is committed that no law
should be made to interfere or curtail the fulfillment of the stated human rights.
Protecting means that human rights violations should be prevented and if they
exist, immediate action should be made.
