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. 23
