This Parallel Report looks into the “fundamental right of everyone to be free from hunger” and the “right to adequate food” as provided for in Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The report analyzes the causes of hunger and poverty in the Philippines as well as looking at the role played by the Philippine Government in right to food violations. It provides clear recommendations for the Government in order for the right to food of every citizen to be guaranteed and violations of that right to be either avoided or stopped.
