It wasn’t a victim centric approach. Baka pwede ngayong balikan si Taguig RTC
branch. And babantayan because it wasn’t a crime of rebellion. It was a crime against RA
9851. Anything less is a violation of CEDAW and NAP.
WPS and Role of CHR as Gender Ombud
The Gender Ombud is necessary to monitor compliance. I observed na no indicators ng
CHR, it used PCW indicators instead. For conflict-related issues, there was no mention of
CEDAW 30. Armed conflict not included.
There is a Gender Ombud advisory, but none in armed conflict. MCW indicator did not
mention conflict related indicators. Pwede kayong magdevelop ng sariling indicators. It’s still
the Magna Carta. It’s CHR in coordination with the PCW. Ang problema, nilagay nyo na kasi
the scope of jurisdiction. If only within the Magna Carta.
John, OPAPP: I think yung sa indicator of PCW - they are a generalist, they don’t
have the lens of peace, conflict, and gender. Wala silang capacity. So purely in
peace context. So if sa magna carta lang, it is very limited and it will not cover
indicators of situations of armed conflict
Prof. Rallonza: Possibly an amendment can be done to be addressed this. Sa Page

in armed conflict. Reports of women victims of gender-based violations in times of
violence. Pero hindi kayo lahat nagppractice. Meron naman, pero hindi nagagawa. If
there is, I assume this is in the regional level.
Atty. Rubin: It was a long dialogue, for the meantime we have adopted PCW. But we
know we have to develop our own indicators. The regional offices are also here. We
also observed that nagiimprove ang reporting ng women's human rights reports.
There have been developments within the CHR din, we have QMS. We have
guidelines sa jail visitation, among others.
Points for consideration
1. Referral mechanism should have ground presence. That’s the whole point. Feeling
ko dapat nandyan si CHR the whole process. Monitoring means you are there in
each stage. Hindi ka lang dapat papasok sa criminal case, etc.
2. In terms of monitoring and documentation, maybe your colleagues from Caraga that
looked at cases of Marawi and Zamboanga can share what they have done. Minsan
hindi matingkad sa reporting kasi hindi rin hinihingi ng Central [office].
3. Transitional justice and access to justice.
4. Framing sana ng pagiging Gender Ombud is WPS with the human rights lens. Direct
and structural GBV are actually heightened during crisis. The gender ombud
