CEDAW/C/PHI/Q/6/Add.1 Committees on Youth, Women and Family Relations, and Constitutional Amendments, Revision of Laws. A pending bill in the House of Representatives seeks to amend Article 96 of the Family Code, which states that the husband’s decision shall prevail in cases of disagreement in the administration and enjoyment of community property. Once passed, the law will grant the wife equal standing with the husband in this regard. A similar bill has been filed in the Senate to amend Art. 96, 124, 211 and 225 of the Family Code, which provides judicial intervention in cases of disagreement between husband and wife over the administration and enjoyment of community property and conjugal partnership property, and the exercise of parental authority and legal guardianship over the person and property of unemancipated common child. Several versions of the Anti-Prostitution Bill, which impose stiffer penalties and sanctions on pimps, operators and agents, and provide social services and programs to help victims of prostitution, have been filed in the House of Representatives. The bills are currently being consolidated based on the comments and inputs of the members of the Technical Working Group in the Committee on the Revision of Laws, of which NCRFW is an active member. The bill to amend the Code of Muslim Personal Laws has been pending with the House Committee on Muslim Affairs since 2004. Deliberations on the draft bill to amend the said Code in the Regional Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao are likewise underway. There is no definite timeframe set for the passage of these bills since the prioritization of pending bills depends on the political agenda of both houses of the legislature and the results of the consultations, and debates on these proposals. Continuous advocacy and lobbying by NGOs and women’s groups are being undertaken to hasten the passage of these bills. Likewise, the AntiProstitution Bill has been included as among the priority bills of the House Committee on the MDGs. 3. According to the report, the Government plans to complete implementation of its gender and statistics programme in order to monitor changes in the status of women and the fulfillment of their human rights (para. 25). Kindly provide information on the set of 32 core indicators of the status of women and women’s enjoyment of their rights mentioned in paragraph 20 and assess progress in the systematic use of gender and development indicators in policymaking in all relevant areas. Among the significant results of the CIDA-supported Institutional Strengthening Project II (ISP-II) component on the “Improvement of Statistics on Gender Issues” from 1997 to 2002 , has been the strengthened commitment of key statistical agencies in addressing necessary data support for analysis of gender issues. In 2002, the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the country’s policymaking and coordination agency for statistical matters, approved Resolution No. 5 Series of 2001 on Statistical Framework on the GAD Indicators. This framework was developed based on the vision and strategies for gender and development (GAD) contained in the Philippine Plan for Gender Responsive Development (PPGD 1995-2025)— the 30 year plan of the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women and the Beijing Platform 3
