EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION
Despite the hardship of Martial Law, Chel graduated high school with honors, was president of the La Salle Green Hills student council, and a Gerardo Roxas Leadership Awardee.[1]
In 2009, Diokno founded the De La Salle University College of Law, with the aim of developing leaders who are committed to upholding the rights of every Filipino. He has served as the College's Dean since 2009 [2]
POLITICS
In the 2019 Senator Election, he is running under the Liberal Party [3]
“What happened in this administration really affected me not just as a lawyer but as a person because I saw the law destroyed little by little. I saw all the foundations of what is supposed to be a democratic form of government crumbling and I felt I just couldn’t sit and watch it happen,” he said.
Diokno told his 6 children first. His decision to join the Senate race was “dependent on whether or not they would have issues with it.” Being a politician’s son, Diokno said he knew how politics could turn their lives upside down.

As a human rights lawyer, Diokno has condemned, many times, the thousands of killings under administration’s deadly war on drugs. The chairman of the Free Legal Assistance Group and founding dean of the De La Salle University College of Law filed a petition against the drug war before the Supreme Court.

“Hindi pa ba kayo nadala sa nangyari sa’tin noong Martial Law (Haven’t we had enough with happened during Martial Law)?” Chel said.
“Nakalimutan na ba natin ang ating kasaysayan na mayroon tayong isang pangulo na niluklok ang sarli bilang diktador (Have we forgotten about our history that we had a president who placed himself as a dictator)?” he added.
“Dahil para nga maiwasan ang term limits at ginawa niyang kasangakapan ‘yan para siya ay magkamal — ang pamilya nila ay magkamal ng kay laki-laking pera na sabi nga mismo ng ating Korte Suprema ay pera ng bayan at ill-gotten wealth,” the Liberal Party senatorial bet continued. “Dapat po meron tayong term limits. Pati mga kamag-anak ng incumbents ay dapat sakop ng term limits (We should have term limits. Even the relatives of the incumbents should be covered by term limits),” he said. [4]
