Los Angeles - Cabinet Secretary of the Office of the President of the Philippines Ricardo Saludo was in Los Angeles for just one day this week. Because of the importance of human rights Saludo made time in his busy schedule to meet with Eden Stein, President to the Church of Scientology in Pasadena who presented him with a set of the public service announcements for Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI.)

YHRI is an independent non-profit corporation that educates people in the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights so they become valuable advocates for tolerance and peace.

Saludo and Stein discussed the current state of affairs on human rights in the Philippines and the work being done to improve human rights conditions there. Stein also met with Philippine Consul General Mary Jo Bernardo-Aragon and presented her with a set of the videos. Stein briefed the Consul General on the current Human Rights campaign with statistics and results from all countries involved.

YFHR with its many partners has organized events around the world popularizing the Universal Declaration, including human rights marathons, concerts, information-events, public forums and youth summits to spread the message. These 30 human rights public service announcements have been screened to more than 360 million people.

The YHRI public service announcements are currently showing in Manila.
