Dear Alyssa Arricivita,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Sep 30, 2023 06:29:10 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your Request
You asked for Cities with the highest number of domestic violence cases in CALABARZON.
Response to Request
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, PCW can only provide you with the DSWD Centers and Residential Care Facilities (CRCF) report as of May 20, 2022, together with their contact information, and the DSWD Administrative Order No. 11 series of 2007, or the Revised Standards on Residential Care Service. Kindly take note that DSWD Centers and Care Facilities are not just for victims of VAWC but for other claimholders as well, and other DSWD Field Offices around the country also maintain their own facilities for women and children. We would also like to inform you that PCW does not have city-specific data for VAWC cases, but we can provide you with the CALABARZON VAW statistics, which are from January 2017 to March 2023 only, as provided by the Philippine National Police. Kindly see the attached files in this reply for the documents we have acquired from the mentioned agencies.
In the Philippines, Republic Act 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004, penalizes domestic violence against women and their children. The law covers physical, psychological, sexual, and economic abuses committed by intimate partners. Section 40 of this law mandates DSWD and LGUs to provide temporary shelters, counseling, psycho-social services, and/or recovery, rehabilitation programs, and livelihood assistance to the victims. PNP, on the other hand, is the only source of data on the national incidence of violence against women and has a well-established reporting system through their Crime Information Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS). This electronic system is fully operational in all police stations and community precincts in the country.
As for your complete request, we recommend that you directly contact the Philippine National Police and the Department of Social Welfare and Development for further assistance on data and analysis concerns. You may reach them through the following contact information:
