State Violence in the Philippines State violence in the Philippines An alternative report to the United Nations Human Rights Committee presented by People's Recovery, Empowerment and Development Assistance Foundation, Inc. A project coordinated by World Organisation Against Torture Case postale 21- 8, rue du Vieux Billard CH-1211 Geneva 8, Switzerland Geneva, September 2003 Foreword Writing alternative reports is one of the main activities of the OMCT and a vital source of information for the members of the Human Rights Committee. With these reports, it is possible to see the situation as objectively as possible and take a critical look at government action to eradicate torture. Under the aegis of the European Union and the Swiss Confederation, the “Special Procedures” program presented this report on state violence and torture in the Philippines at the 79th session of the Human rights Committee, which took place in Geneva from 20th October to 7th November 2003 and during which the Government’s report of the Philippines was examined. The study is divided into three parts. Part I provides a general overview of torture and inhuman or degrading treatments (in prisons in particular) committed by state officials. Parts II and III deal with torture and inhuman or degrading treatments of women and children respectively. This rather novel approach sheds light on the situation of particularly vulnerable groups of people. The Human Rights Committee’s Concluding Observations and Recommendations adopted following examination of the Filipino Government’s Report are included in the Appendices. This report was jointly prepared by the following three Filipino human rights NGOs: PREDA Foundation. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, Preda Foundation, Inc., was founded in 1974 in Olongapo City. Its services include a campaign against international pedophile syndicates, a residential healing center for sexually abused children, legal services, youth organizing, child jail rescue and public awareness building on human rights, a theater advocacy group, a trade fair, and community organizing. The Task Force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP). TFDP deals with documenting human rights violations including torture, assisting the victims and their families in their welfare and legal needs, and conducting human rights education. Women’s Education, Development, Productivity and Research Organisation (WEDPRO). WEDPRO is a women’s organization established in 1989 as an undertaking of the active members of the first feminist collective in the Philippines, the Katipunan ng Kababaihan para sa Kalayaan (KALAYAAN) or League of Women for Liberation. Since its establishment, it has concentrated on research and advocacy and continued to build and share knowledge. It is committed to enabling conditions towards the advancement of women's empowerment and social change. Three delegates from these NGOs presented the report during the information session and shared their observations and concerns with the members of the Human Rights Committee. 2 Acknowledgements The Task Force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP) acknowledges the contributions of the following non-governmental human rights organizations in the Philippines who have put together their respective inputs and expertise and collective experience to make this report on torture: • Balay Rehabilitation Center, which provides psychosocial rehabilitation to ex-political prisoners and internally displaced families and communities; • Families of Victims of Involuntary Disappearance (FIND), which documents cases of involuntary disappearances and gives direct services to the victims' families; • Medical Action Group (MAG), a health and human rights organization of health professionals, health students and health workers which provides biopsychosocial services to victims of human rights violations and advocates health rights particularly patients' rights. Women’s Education, Development, Productivity and Research Organisation (WEDPRO) has held report, consultative sessions to gather and verify data were conducted with the following women’s organizations: • Bukluran ng Kababaihan sa Lansangan, Inc. (BUKAL), which organizes and educates women “streetwalkers” (women victims-survivors of trafficking and prostitution whose main areas of exposure are along streets) in Quezon City. It also provides direct services such as outreach clinics and referrals and conducts research for publication, networking and advocacy for human rights. • Buklod ng Kababaihan (BUKLOD), which is supporting women who have been victims- survivors of prostitution in Olongapo City, Philippines and provides education and training for women. • Lesbian Advocates Philippines, Inc. (LeAP!), which is one of the few lesbian organizations in the Philippines. Based in Quezon City, Philippines, it has been carrying out capacity building programs for lesbians to become advocates and leaders. Apart from this, it has also created a safe space for lesbians through community building that also links to other organizations by organizing political and social events. • Women’s Crisis Center, Inc. (WCC), which was initially set-up to address women victims- survivors of military abuse, particularly rape. Due to more violations of women’s rights, it has expanded its involvement to address issues of battering, incest, sexual harassment, trafficking in women, prostitution and other forms of sexual assault. These acts of violence are being handled through feminist counselling that is also backed up by education, training, research and documentation. • Women’s Legal Bureau, Inc. (WLB), which is a feminist legal resource organization that provides services to women and women’s organizations. It has legal services and develops, legal and policy research and advocacy, development education and training, and legal information, services and development. • Women’s Legal Education, Advocacy and Defence Foundation, Inc,(WomenLEAD), which adopts feminist strategies in the critique and analysis of the law and the legal system. It provides services 3 such as paralegal training and education; feminist counselling and legal assistance; research, publication and library; campaigns, media and external links. Other related documents coming from women’s organizations working on reproductive health issues and trafficking in women were likewise reviewed in making this report. 4 Contents Part 1: State Violence In The Philippines ....................................................................... 6 1.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • Tourism and Crime: Evidence from the Philippines
    Kyoto University Tourism and Crime: Evidence from the Philippines Rosalina Palanca-Tan,* Len Patrick Dominic M. Garces,* Angelica Nicole C. Purisima,* and Angelo Christian L. Zaratan* Using panel data gathered from 16 regions of the Philippines for the period 2009–11, this paper investigates the relationship between tourism and crime. The findings of the study show that the relation between tourism and crime may largely depend on the characteristics of visitors and the types of crime. For all types of crime and their aggregate, no significant correlation between the crime rate (defined as the number of crime cases divided by population) and total tourist arrivals is found. However, a statistically significant positive relation is found between foreign tour- ism and robbery and theft cases as well as between overseas Filipino tourism and robbery. On the other hand, domestic tourism is not significantly correlated with any of the four types of crimes. These results, together with a strong evidence of the negative relationship between crime and the crime clearance efficiency, present much opportunity for policy intervention in order to minimize the crime externality of the country’s tourism-led development strategy. Keywords: tourism, crime, negative externality, sustainable development Introduction The tourism industry in the Philippines has expanded rapidly in recent years due primar- ily to intensified marketing of the country’s rich geographical and biological diversity and of its historical and cultural heritage. In 2000–10, the tourism sector consistently made substantial contribution to the Philippine economy, averaging about 5.8% of gross domes- tic product (GDP) on an annual basis.

The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential

Enguito2 1College of Criminology, Misamis University, Ozamiz City, Philippines 2Misamis University Research Center, Misamis University, Ozamiz City, Philippines Corresponding author: Mercy O. Caba-ong, email: [email protected] Abstract Data about the crime rate are relevant in improving the crime control programs in a locality. The purpose of this paper was to determine the crime rate in Ozamiz City from the calendar year 2010 to 2013. This study also aimed to compare the volumes of the index and non-index crimes, respectively and to obtain the percentage breakdown of these offenses per year. The paper also examined the spatiotemporal patterns of index crimes. Incidents of crime reported and docketed in the police blotter were retrieved from Ozamiz City Police Station. Case investigators were also interviewed to verify the data. Findings showed a decreased crime rate in 2010 relative to 2011, a most notable decline in 2012, and the sharpest increase in 2013. Among the index crimes, physical injuries had the highest crime volume, followed by theft and robbery. Despite the lower rate of non-index crimes compared to index crimes, illegal logging, riding motor vehicles without the plate number, driver‟s license and registration could not be disregarded.

  • The Evolving Paradigm of Filipino Prisoners' Artistic Performance As A
    Journal of Tourism and Management Research 127 ISSN:2149-6528 Journal of Tourism and Management Research ISSN: 2149-6528 2017 Vol. 2, Issue.2 The Evolving Paradigm of Filipino Prisoners’ Artistic Performance as a Tourism Product Abstract This is an exploratory study aimed at determining whether the artistic performance of inmates in the national penitentiary may be considered as a tourism product. The performance began to gather worldwide attention with the showing of the dancing inmates on You Tube. The research was carried further by looking at performances which have been featured and are still being shown inside the Maximum and Medium Security Compounds of the country‟s prison.The methodology is a comparative analysis of literature related to tourism product and the formulation of an appropriate definition of the tourism product under study, it being intrinsic to the country. Following Smith‟s generic tourism product definition and the tourism production process, the analysis reinforced the very nature of prisoners‟ performance as a tourism product indeed. As such the paper serves to enlighten both prison and tourism stakeholders on the potential of the tourism product.

  • State Terrorism in the Philippines Unmasking the Securitized Terror Behind ‘War on Drugs’
    MSc. Crisis & Security Management Thesis - Spring 2017 Leiden University, The Hague Campus State Terrorism in the Philippines Unmasking the securitized terror behind ‘War on Drugs’ Master Thesis, Spring 2017 George Plevris (s1722026) Supervisor: Dr. M. Kitzen Second Reader: Liesbeth van der Heide University of Leiden- The Hague Campus Master MSc. Crisis & Security Management May 2017 Leiden University 1 MSc. Crisis & Security Management Thesis - Spring 2017 By the end of this paper, I believe you will come to the same observation that I arrived: Terror (-ism) is the finest tool of political and social governance a state can deploy. If executed well, it does not only achieve the goal of submission of the audience, but it eliminates the latter’s tool of resistance: hope. Leiden University 2 MSc. Crisis & Security Management Thesis - Spring 2017 Abstract Typically, modern states have the monopoly on legitimate violence drawn from their sovereignty and democratic rule of law, on the behest of their citizens. This ‘legitimate’ violence however has seen a rise in the last two decades, and taken forms of intricate civil wars, wars on crime, wars on drugs and wars on terror. Yet, despite outcries for violations of laws and human rights, of crimes against humanity and war crimes, policies of extreme violence performed by the democratic states are hardly ever labeled as state terrorism. This paper will explore the scholarship of state terrorism, often a contested topic among academic and experts, and will approach the issue through the current ‘war on drugs’ raging in the Philippines. The theoretical premise that I will carve out aims to explore and acknowledge the existence of state terror but also the difficulty in naming it.

  • The Current Situation of Crime Associated with Urbanization: Problems Experienced and Countermeasures Initiated in the Philippines
    THE CURRENT SITUATION OF CRIME ASSOCIATED WITH URBANIZATION: PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED AND COUNTERMEASURES INITIATED IN THE PHILIPPINES By Celia V. Sanidad-Leones* I. INTRODUCTION In the Philippines, urbanity is viewed with the combined concept of size, density and the presence of certain institutions associated with an urban lifestyle like a town hall, church or chapel, public plaza, park or cemetery, market place, buildings for trade activities and public buildings like schools, puericulture and a health centre and library. Demographic studies reveal some common characteristics of urban communities: (1) a heterogeneity of cultures with concomitant differences in beliefs and behaviours; (2) differences among group members, with relationships between persons restricted to specific needs; (3) increased mobility, impersonality and anonymity; and (4) people who vary in age, race, ethnicity, norms and values. These are predisposing factors that breed urban criminality. Comparatively, crime rates are higher in poorer neighbourhoods and in areas with higher population density, deteriorated living conditions and many unemployed members of the labour force. Following the pattern of other countries, rapid urbanization, industrialization and migration to the cities are major factors that contribute to higher crime rates in Philippine urban centres. Urban blight in the country is essentially a result of the sudden unprecedented exodus of people from rural to urban areas. Progressively increasing difficulties in rural areas, exacerbated by the natural and man-made calamities that the country continues to experience have resulted in massive migration to the cities. In-migration, alongside natural population increase, accounts for the burgeoning urban population and the disparate rise of primate cities like Metro Manila.

  • Philippines 2019 Human Rights Report
    PHILIPPINES 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Philippines is a multiparty, constitutional republic with a bicameral legislature. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, elected in May 2016, began his constitutionally limited six-year term in June 2016. Midterm elections in May for 12 (of 24 total) senators, all congressional representatives, and local government leaders were seen as generally free and fair, despite reports of violence and vote buying. The ruling party and allies won all 12 Senate seats and maintained a roughly two-thirds majority in the 306-seat House of Representatives. Barangay (village) and youth council elections originally scheduled for 2021 were rescheduled for December 5, 2022 so that local and national elections will occur in the same year. The Philippine National Police (PNP) is charged with maintaining internal security in most of the country and reports to the Department of the Interior. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), which reports to the Department of National Defense, is responsible for external security but also carries out domestic security functions in regions with a high incidence of conflict, particularly the Mindanao region. The two agencies share responsibility for counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations. The PNP Special Action Force is responsible for urban counterterrorism operations. President Duterte’s May 2017 declaration of martial law for the entire region of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago was extended until the end of the year, giving the military expanded powers in the area. Governors, mayors, and other local officials have considerable influence over local police units, including appointment of top departmental and municipal police officers and the provision of resources.

  • Pangkat: Inmate Gangs at the New Bilibid Prison Maximum Security Compound
    FILOMIN CANDALIZA-GUTIERREZ Pangkat: Inmate Gangs at the New Bilibid Prison Maximum Security Compound This is a study of inmate gangs (pangkats) at the New Bilibid Prison Maximum Security Compound. Through focus group discussions (FGDs) with pangkatmembers and review of documents, the study found that pangkats formed around the 1950s around ethno-linguistic divisions between Tagalog (Sigue Sigue) and non-Tagalog speaking inmates (OXO). Inadequate provisions, strained inmate-guard relationship and restrictive visiting policies incited escapes and violent riots between rival gangs in those years. Since the 1980s the pangkats transitioned into units of local self-governance with mechanisms for leadership, dispute arbitration, control of antisocial behavior, and cooperation with other pangkats and the Bureau of Corrections. The combination of relaxed visiting policies, including conjugal visits and family stay-ins, and the increased entry of civil society groups (CSGs) boosted a local economy,”normalized” the all-male population and presented opportunities for inmates to regain lost “moral status” by occupying respected positions. When the barriers that isolated the compound were lowered, the pangkat society increased its social capital, expanded its social network, bridged gaps between other gangs, the Bureau of Corrections and the free society (taga- laya) and functioned less as parochial defense and conflict groups and more as organizations of self-local governance. Key words: inmate gangs, New Bilibid Prison, incarceration, self- governance, social capital Philippine Sociological Review (2012) • Vol. 60 • pp. 193-238 193 A satellite view of the Maximum Security Compound of the New Bilbid Prison in Muntinlupa City.
