Documentation on GBV Mapping Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Region _ Serdeño from CSWD affirmed that the victims were coming more from the regular women than the marginalized ones. This was supported by Atty. Sabaybay by saying that “Urban women ang karamihan lalo na pagka nawalan ng trabaho. Sa rural women mababa or para ngang wala.” Prosecutor Bance, also, confirmed that GBV cases were more violations of the RA 9262 since the wife had no work and economically disadvantaged women or plain housewife and totally dependent to their husbands. The rape cases happened to mostly minors or children. According to Prosecutor Deris, since there were limitations because of the health protocols, like face to face dialogue between the complainant and the perpetrator, that could be one of the reasons why cases filed have decreased significantly.

The only help they could give them was advice, which was referred by the CSWDO and the PNP. Regarding challenges in issuing Barangay Protection Order (BPO), according to Monsalve they did not encounter problem or difficulty in the issuance of BPO. “Our barangay is always ready, and we have trained professionals in-charge.” When Avila probed more about the challenges encountered, Prosecutor Bance reiterated that on their part, there were a lot of challenges. Court trials for example, were always rescheduled because the courts were closed, too, so a lot of cases were pending. The major challenge is the difficulty to conduct clarificatory hearing due to absence of respondents from far places.
