Scenario 1: Contextualizing methodology for the Philippines
You were tasked to produce a draft metadata for the Philippines ahead of the first ever data collection cycle for 16.1.2
beginning in 2024. You need to elaborate on the following aspects of methodology in the context of the Philippines:
1. Existing frameworks: Are there existing legal, data collection, statistical or human rights frameworks in the
Philippines that could be applied in the measurement of this indicator, including in establishing the nexus of the death
to the conflict? e.g. armed conflict with 1. Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) 2. Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF)
3. Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) 4. New People’s Army (NPA), others?
2. Disaggregation by cause of deaths: Only direct-conflict related deaths will be included in the first data compilation,
guided by the categories of causes of deaths. How do you disaggregate by cause of deaths, any data gaps?
3. Name of the victim: How do you record the name of victim? (First name, family name, additional information such
as name of father or mother). The difficulties you are facing in naming all the victims?
4. Status of victim: Can you disaggregate by status of victim (civilian, other protected person, member of armed
forces, fighter, unknown, if different specify categories and definitions used)?
5. Sex and age: What are the categories used for disaggregating sex and age? Any data gaps?
6. Other information about the victim: Do you collect other information about the victim (occupation, nationality,
ethnicity, etc.)?
7. Status of alleged perpetrator: Do you disaggregate by status of alleged perpetrator (member of the armed forces,
person directly participating in hostilities, unknown, if different specify categories used)? Definitions used?
8. Date of the incident: How do you record the date of incident (specify if different, date of death, hospitalization,
discovery of body, last alive, etc.)?
9. Location of the incident: How do you record the location of the incident (town/city/province, geo coded, specify if
different, location of death, grave, where body was discovered, etc.)?
10. Data sources: Are there other possible data sources? How could data from multiple sources be verified, compiled
and validated?
