Immediately after their report, they had their discussion while having
their lunch at around 12:10. One of the topics recognized by Atty. Baltazar
on their report that was given attention was the issue on sexual
harassment, rape and acts of lasciviousness. According to the speaker, AIM
WET can be used as their guide. AIM WET stands for authority, influence,
moral ascendency, work, education, and training. There was exchange of
experiences shared by the participants during the last part of the
discussion. To sum it all, the speaker give emphasis on extreme and
comprehensive GBV orientation with the barangays and municipalities.
There are many people who violated laws because they don’t have better
knowledge and understanding about their rights, she said. The best answer
is to disseminate information (flyers, tarps, posters), conduct seminars and
orientation in every city/municipality. Everyone must also learn how to
apply the learning they gain in the trainings they had attended. Capacitate
is the key to lessen the works of higher levels.

1:40 in the afternoon. It was then followed by group picture taking. The
