4. EXPERIENCES OF MARGINALIZATION, STIGMA, DISCTRIMINATION CHR: You have to be thankful, despite of less help received from the government. At least you were still able to provide food for your family three times a day. Is the barangay doing their job? I want an honest answer. How is the treatment from the barangay? Respondent U: They were not able to give us update. How they were able to disseminate the information, when in fact we do not have access to internet. We cannot afford to buy cellphone and we were not techy savvy. We do not know how to create the Facebook account. Respondent K: WALA JUD MI KLARO NGA TABANG MAAM WA MI MAKADAWAT UG SAP. 5. TRAFFICKING AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE CHR: Who among you here were able to hear of any violence of a woman, a friend, relative in your neighborhood or members of your family? Respondent V, wife of an officer of the Fisherfolks Association, was honest enough to admit her horrible experience with her husband. Respondent V: Ma‟am, I was able to experience violence from my husband few years back then even before the pandemic, I experienced domestic violence from my husband, Ma‟am. HE PUNCHED ME SEVERAL TIMES, ALMOST EVERYDAY. I WAS MADE LIKE A COW, MY HEAD WAS BANGED ON THE WALL AND I HAD “BLACK EYES, BRUISES.” Respondent W: (Cried) MY STORY WAS UNFORGETTABLE. ONE TIME WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT HOME FROM FISHING, HE ASKED ME FOR FOOD. WE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD DINNER BECAUSE WE HAD NO MONEY. I SHOWED TO HIM THE BOWL OF VEGETABLE SOUP AND HE ASKED ME TO HEAT IT. WHEN IT WAS DONE, HE POURED THE BOILING SOUP ON MY FACE. IT WAS PAINFUL AND I GOT BURNS. 13
