Last February 28, with the CHR and inter-agency, we conducted peace conversation
with the Archdiocese. But 2 days after, it was reported in radio reports that the
Archbishop were said to lead the Left.
For the current and urgent WPS issues, I would like to highlight five:
a. Access to justice of women. We were in Gingoog, in one barangay, if you
are 5 months pregnant they will have to go down to the city. There are issues
with access to food, roads, and security sa environment. Displacement is very
much high, affected ang other services to education or health.
b. Confusion on the conflicting laws. Ano ba yung karapatan ko? The context
could be misunderstood, both women's point of view and the enforcers.
Development projects [affect] the women also. Generally, how do they claim
their right to food and other services? It’s very slow because of the inability of
the government to [deliver].
c. Education on human rights. Ang daming terms na maganda malaman natin
na hindi natin alam. Both for the enforcements and the rights bearers or duty
bearers, dignity of all. Maraming terms that we have to understand but we
have indicators that lack. Siguro pag-institutionalize or educate up to the
ground.
d. Local capacity and data discrepancies. Pag CHR napansin namin nasa
regional level, but ang data nasa barangay level. Sa in between, ang hirap.
Nakita rin namin na pwede mag establish ng community peace centers
maybe up to the barangay. Ngayon may ginagawa silang cluster ng
barangays, but there has to be a center especially the geographically isolated
areas. And pag-capacitate ng locals for instance, we [need] to mobilize the
CSO structures to the chapel, to the barangay.
e. EO 70. Hindi masyado naraise noon but for us in Region 10, parang
binibilisan talaga nila “to end local communist armed conflict” but the
assumption is there will always be unrest. Walang CHR na umupo kasama
namin noon. Pero kasi ito LGU rin. Yung mga CSOs pinasama kami sa task
force pero yung ending is strengthen capacity ng LGU to deliver services. Is
there someone in different level ng CHR to make an outright call to strengthen
frontliner delivery ng services?

months lang sya napasok sa kulungan
