Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Friday said they are seeking to establish guidelines that will prevent settlement in cases of incestuous rape and child abuse.
Remulla issued the remark following a meeting with officials of the Department of the Interior and Local Government , the Department of Social Welfare and Development , the Department of Information and Communication Technology , and the Child Protection Network Foundation regarding incestuous rape.
[There is this practice of entering into a settlement, but with these cases, we should not agree because it will happen again if we allow to go scott-free.] For Remulla, the country is in a “state of emergency” when it comes to the sexual abuse of children. Meanwhile, data from the DSWD showed that more female children reported cases of incest with 852 cases and one case was reported for male children from 2019 to 2022.
Madrid also said that the 2015 National Baseline Study on Violence Against Children in the Philippines was the last widespread survey on the subject.“The thing is, we don’t need to see a trend, whether it’s going up or down, by its very nature, the fact that 1 out of 20 Filipino child experience sexual violence, we should already do something about it, because that’s already very high by itself,” she said.
“Ano ‘yun sa Tagalog? Wala. Wala, right? [What is it in Tagalog. None, right?] What does that say to you, di ba? It might say to you that it’s always kept in secret. That’s what it means. Not talked about, frowned upon, and kept to themselves. And it happens among the very rich and the very poor. Incest,” Legarda said.
For the DSWD, Asec. Romel Lopez said the agencies must coordinate with each other regarding their programs.
