Documentation on GBV Mapping Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Region _ resolved already in their level through dialogue and amicable settlement. Most of the cases just needed counseling and guidance, the complainants and victims just needed someone to talk to like a peer counseling set up. But it was clear on their part that there should be no arrangement as regards GBV cases. Respondent C further said that all cases were recorded and part of our required quarterly report because if they did not do the documentation, they will not also receive their honorarium. Most of the common cases were the violation of 9262, mostly psychological blackmail like the spouse holding a knife in front of his wife. And the barangay right away issues BPO in order to protect the complainant. There was even a case where the wife went to the barangay to seek assistance just to be able to talk to her husband and the barangay mediated for them then after that they were able to resolve their differences, as reiterated by Respondent C“loving-loving na ulit” after it was facilitated by the barangay. She further said that “what they just need are psycho social support from the community.” But during the ECQ there were no case filed. But, in Bgy. Sta. Teresita there was a case filed in their VAWC desk. The husband physically inflicted pain to the wife. The barangay rescued the victim but during the investigation, the only thing that the wife asked the council was that “Ang gusto ko lang naman na kausapin ninyo ng masinsinan ang asawa ko at huwag na niyang ulitin yung ginawa niya. Sana po pagsabihan ninyo ang asawa ko na makukulong siya pagka inulit pa niya ang pananakit sa akin at sa mga bata. Mangako siya sa harap ng barangay na hindi na niya gagawin ulit yun.” The complainant just wanted to warn her husband and explain that he will be put to jail if he will do it again. The focal person provided counseling and facilitated a heart to heart talk between the complainant and the perpetrator in order to resolve the problem. This was not referred to the CSWD because this was resolved in the barangay level. Both parties would not want their case to be referred to another level like the CSWDO. With this, Avila probed further if GBV cases had significantly increased or decreased during the ECQ. Respondent C said “Walang kaso na naitala noong ECQ dahil for the first time intact kasi ang pamilya. Binigyan ng livelihood activities ang mga pamilya ang barangay kaya may mga family activities tulad ng distribution ng seeds para sa backyard gardening, may delegation pa ng household chores. Tsaka dahil mahirap kumuha ng quarantine pass kaya ang mga tatay sa bahay lang talaga. Bawal ang videoke at alak, kaya walang rason para mag-away ang mag-asawa. At siyempre dahil may curfew, maaga matulog ang mga pamilya. Kaya hindi kaso ng GBV ang tumaas kundi mga nanay na nabuntis hahaha.” Respondent C further explained that they could not really say if GBV incidence have increased or decreased. This was supported by other KALIPI Presidents of other barangays of Iriga City. 18
