Documentation on GBV Mapping Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Region _ Prosecutor Bance shared that “there were cases filed in their office, but the data was limited to personal circumstances of the victims and respondents; but ethnicity was not specified. For this year 2020, from January to March 3 relative to GBV, there were 16 cases. And from May to August 2020 there were 21 cases. I cannot say kung madami o kumunti.” Avila said that it’s not conclusive to say that cases have diminished during the ECQ and this was supported by Prosecutor Bance by saying that “Yes, because we started receiving cases only in May 2020 after the ECQ but in March we did not receive any case based on the report.” Prosecutor Neryl Deris added that during the ECQ what they received are about 3 inquest cases for rape and acts of lasciviousness then after the ECQ we continued with the regular investigation process. Also, Atty. Joy Sabaybay reiterated that it’s very rare for them to receive complaints because usually, the records are kept by the individual lawyers. Then Avila asked about the current state of the GBV demographics recorded by the CSWDO. According to Serdeño of CSWDO, from January to date, there were 25 cases with sex segregated data. There were even no rescue operations conducted so we can conclude that the GBV cases have decreased significantly. According to Atty. Sabaybay, there was no focal person identified in their office. “We entertained our clients through window transactions during the quarantine and the officer of the day receives them. It was rather awkward because there was no privacy, and the complaints would be heard outside, but we had no choice since our office was small. The program was not emphasized and taken as a priority because there would only be trainings conducted every four years and there were no reminders about it. The hiring and trainings were centralized, and we know nothing about the screening process, we only receive notice about the hiring.” Prosecutor Bance added that they only attended in 2015 or 2016 in a sponsored training on GAD policy but there was really no GAD focal person that were assigned. In the case of CSWDO, a focal point person was identified through the office of KALIPI local council on women and even the LGBT community. When Avila asked about a local ordinance adopted particularly on GBV concerns, CSWDO pointed out that it was already included in the Gender and Development Code in Iriga, but there was no separate policy about this and on trafficking, as well. Though there was an executive order on local special bodies as GAD focal point person or VAWC because it was fully functional. 5
