In 12 chapters covering 16 landmark cases, veteran journalists Marites Dañguilan Vitug and Criselda Yabes revisit historic moments before the Supreme Court of the Philippines that redefined many of the most fundamental human rights that Filipinos enjoy today. Written in clear, popular prose with a minimum of legalese, the book demonstrates what a tenacious pursuit and imaginative interpretation of human rights can achieve under the law. Some of these victories may have been partial or even Pyrrhic, but overall, these stories offer hope and comfort to the ordinary citizen, and hope in the rule of law in the Philippines, however flawed.
