No hay ese llega na punto que advice para reporta (Still, not, because I
received support, all [gave] good advice. It did not reach the point that an
advice was to report [him]).”
Researchers’ Observations: S29 has, for 15 years of marriage, been a
victim of violence psychologically, emotionally, verbally, physically. 15
year and 5 children were the themes of her frequent thoughts and
considerations as these gave her the drive to consider her and the
children’s future.
Analysis: Leaving her husband and children to S30 is out of the question
and her decisión to report her husband for a violation of RA 9262 will only
take place should there be another incident of violence within the domestic
front.
Survivor 30
S30 is from San Roque, she has been married for 32 years and she has a
29-year old child. The first incident of violence she experienced was on
August 14 when she was helping for an event in the barangay where she
was an active officer of purok along with her colleague. Her husband got
jealous of her colleague because he saw them together while she was
backriding on a motorcycle where in fact there is nothing going around
with them. It’s just all about their job.
“Amo quel ya principia todo kay ta embarca daw yo na otro, jende ta tiene
huya (That was the start because I was riding behind another [person]).’’
“Para comigo porque si embarca yo motor de trabajo man, y importante.
‘Yan service lang tambien comigo (For me, I backrode on the motorcycle
because of work, and it was important. I was just being serviced [referring
to her having been just brought home).”
She experienced physical, emotional and psychological violence. He
slapped her once when they had an argument, whereby she got insulted
and was shouted at. At times he would threaten to shame her before
anyone.
“Tiene vez ele pa mismo anda na barangay para man huya daw yo (there
was a time when he said he himself would go to the barangay that I would
be shamed).”
