Documentation on GBV Mapping Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Region _ Regarding the flow of case management, in our office we have the E-reklamo Account in our Facebook page and 2 Hotline numbers with 24/7 operation. This has been established even before the ECQ but was strengthened during the ECQ.” “The only difficulty, though I considered it a minor concern, that I can see in the flow of managing GBV cases during the ECQ was the coordination between the Prosecutor’s Office and our office because they are on a skeleton formation though on call. But once you coordinate with them, they responded right away. That is why I can see that this flow was not disrupted during the ECQ.” As to the documentation, PNP Iriga in the WCPD do not share the data and information to any agency unless there was court order given for a particular request. All the data were confidential whether from the complainant or the perpetrator. If the case came from the CSWDO then that is the only time that they share with them the information but only to that level. For the recommendation, she cited that, since they lack personnel in the WCPD Iriga, to hire additional personnel so that work can be distributed given the load of work that they have in the office. They always do multi-tasking in the office. “Then, perhaps CHR, can also consider the budget for the victims that come to our office and they do not have money for fare and even food. The PNP officer will be forced to shell out from his or her own pocket in order to respond to this concern. It usually happens every time the case is like this. Good thing that our salary was now increased by the government. Sometimes it’s okay to help out of mercy but I believe this should be considered in the allocation of budget. I just do not know if it should be coming from our office, CSWDO or CHR.” She said that a temporary shelter specifically for the rape victims should be provided in their city. Even for the Children in Confliction with the Law (CICL) because they were already abandoned by their own families because they do not have specific programs for this in the city of Iriga. “I am hoping that CHR can organize seminars specifically for the WCPD and investigators handling similar cases such as this because this will empower us and will always be given the chance to improve our system.” The meeting ended 11:15 in the morning. 23
