52 those who have some past, present or future role in relation to the situation or some responsibility for its causes or consequences. It therefore permits findings and recommendations to be made in relation to all those who share responsibility.”210 2.134. On the other hand, adjudication means: “’[t]o settle in the exercise of judicial authority; to determine with finality. Synonymous with adjudge in its strictest sense;’ and ‘adjudge’ means: ‘to pass on judicially, to decide, settle or decree, or to sentence or condemn. . . . Implies a judicial determination of a fact, and the entry of a judgment.’211 2.135. In Cariño v. CHR212, the Commission was found to be devoid of power to “resolve on the merits” the legally contentious questions of “(a) whether or not the mass concerted actions engaged in by the teachers constitute and are prohibited or otherwise restricted by law; (b) whether or not the act of carrying on and taking part in those actions, and the failure of the teachers to discontinue those actions, and return to their classes despite the order to this effect by the Secretary of Education, constitute infractions of relevant rules and regulations warranting administrative disciplinary sanctions, or are justified by the grievances complained of by them; and (c) what where the particular acts done by each individual teacher and what sanctions, if any, may properly be imposed for said acts or omissions.” 2.136. Different from Cariño v. CHR213 and respondent ExxonMobil’s view, this Petition asks the Honorable Commission to: (a) determine the particular human rights affected by the impacts of climate change, including the composite elements of those rights based on human rights laws, treaties, and standards; (b) look into the human rights responsibility of the respondents who were identified in the peer-reviewed study of Mr. Heede to have contributed a very significant amount of carbon emissions that caused climate change); (c) recommend actions to be taken by the governments of the Philippines and countries where respondents are headquartered, in order to protect the rights of those affected by climate change; and (d) request the respondents to submit acceptable plans and policies that will prevent further carbon emissions and, consequently, prevent future adverse effects on the human rights of the Filipino people and those sojourning in the country, resulting from the impacts of climate change. 210 Manual on Conducting a National Inquiry into Systemic Patterns of Human Rights Violations, Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions and Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, September 2012 211 supra., note 210. 212 G.R.
