Government offices—except for the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) 27
—at both the national and regional levels have no data on PWDs, or are still in the process
of collection. In the case of LGUs, some have collected or have just initiated the data
collection. Marikina (NCR) has data on PWDs; the kind of data was not mentioned,
however. Pateros (NCR) has adopted a Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) in
January 2019. The system will capture data on PWDs, such as their population and sex
disaggregation per barangay. The City Health Office of Baguio has been profiling PWDs
since before 2014. They collected data that are disaggregated according to sex (male and
female) and according to disability (mental/intellectual, hearing, psychosocial, speech,
visual, disability due to chronic illness, orthopedic, learning, and multiple disability). From
2014-2018, a total of 1,320 PWDs have been profiled. In 2017, the Baguio City Council
released an ordinance mandating a PWD Desk in all barangays that would gather PWD
data at the barangay level. In Caraga, the Butuan City Health Office and the PDAO have
two separate databases of registered PWDs. They have 2,282 and 1,448 PWDs registered
in their databases, respectively.
3.3.2. Only one or two agencies/offices/organizations with good practices in Inquiry sites
There were good practices documented as part of the findings of this Inquiry on the
promotion of access of women with disabilities to RH services, commodities, and
information, including VAWC remedies. Good practices were recorded in every Inquiry
area, however agencies/offices/organizations involved in its implementation were limited
to one or two. Most of these initiatives however were activity or progam-based , and not
components of a strategically adopted RH agenda for women with disabilities.
● The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) of La Trinidad in
CAR, in partnership with their doctor-pediatrician, conducted an early detection
and prevention of disability activity, and other advocacy activities for parents. The
passage of ordinances related to the welfare of women with disability also helped
in developing more programs responding to their needs.
● The PDAO of Manila in NCR launched an information dissemination campaign on
RH. Meanwhile, Likhaan has established health centers all over Metro Manila that
provides RH services to marginalized women. It also developed a training module
on SRHR, which it has been using in the conduct of capacity building activities for
women with disabilities. It has also been very active in its advocacy for SRHR,
particularly for the inclusion of women with disabilities.
● The Municipal Health Office of Cordova in Region VII worked closely with PDAO in
order to deliver a “holistic approach” to health inclusive to PWDs. A special desk
27
BJMP was able to present data on PWDs under custody during the fact-finding
missions.Submission of programs for PWDs was also submitted by BJMP central office as part of
the Inquiry Survey.
