kinausap namin ang DepEd, nagconduct kami ng orientation for VAWC and palaro
for children. Ginawa ng promotion na quarterly na for women, children, IDP rights.
Nagbibigay ng orientation on UNGPID. Nagawa na rin namin ito sa Arakan, this is
also a conflict area na maraming red tagging. Fr .Peter Jeremiah na partner namin,
binigyan kami ng list ng pangalan ng mga na red tag. Barangay-based orientation or
client based human rights education.
h. Red tagging. Sa dialogue sinasama namin ang red-tagging sa client based human
rights education. Na-news din yung closure din ng Lumad schools. You could just
imagine 10 counts of murder filed sa teacher and na red tag sya. We monitor this
case and she is being assisted by the lawyer of KARAPATAN.
i. Security concerns. Pinaka-challenge is the security for us and our clients.
Challenge on cultural diversity. Merong Muslims, Lumad, sa Region 12. Meron din
kaming challenge that victims of rape or even GBV during armed conflict are
generally low ay because of stigma talaga. And pinaka naidentify namin is lack of
psychosocial support. Dapat nandun na lahat sabi ni Prof Vene, victim-centered
support, pero wala talaga kaming nakikita yan.
j. EO 70. Nainvite rin kami sa EO 70 [meeting], yung chief namin 3 hours din umupo,
wala pa action na napagusapan.
4. SI Maria Theresa Rallos Neri (Special Investigator, CHR-Caraga)
a. Resource-based conflicts. Sa Caraga, maraming tourist regions. Including Dinagat
island province, Siargao. So the major conflicts are resource-based conflicts dahil
meron ding mining area. And insurgency is also a major conflict.
b. Heavy armed presence in Caraga. May dalawang brigades na nagooperate sa
Caraga: the 402nd brigade and 401st brigade. There are three brigades in CDO,
Bukidnon, Region 10. The two brigades nasa Caraga kasi malaki ang Front
Committee9 na sinasabi na NPA. Marami talaga problema between government
forces and NPA rebels.
c. Human rights promotion services for IDPs. What we do, we conduct promotion
services, create IEC materials particularly on internally-displaced persons (IDPs).
Every year palagi may displacement. There were 1000 bakwit from Diatagon, Lianga
. Sabi nila “bakit sila magbabakwit wala namang encounter doon”? But iba yung
definition natin ng IDP - yung nafifieel na ng tao na in danger na sya. Hindi yung may
mangyari na bago sya mag bakwit. We shared that with the regional DRRMC.
d. Center for Human Rights Education (CHRE). We had a CHRE Memorandum of
Understanding signed between CHR and Agusan Colleges Inc, and we targeted to
have at least 1 CHRE per Province.
e. Protection Services - Investigation
i.
Investigate and resolution all forms of human rights/GAD related
violations/Child abuse incidents;
ii.
Investigation and documentation of reported cases of recruitment of child
combatants (5 boys and 3 girls);
9
Guerilla Front Committees (FC) identified in Caraga: FC-8, FC-16A, FC-16B, FC-19A, FC-21B,
