Uno-Rayco also said local mental health ordinances will also boost diagnosis and treatment of persons with mental health needs, and combat stigma, amid the reported rise in suicide cases among young Filipinos.
The report also showed that 404 died due to suicide. Uno-Rayco said more suicide cases surfaced in different parts of the country, especially in rural areas of Sorsogon, Aklan, and Zamboanga. Uno-Rayco further noted that mental health ordinances will complement the Philippine Mental Health Law or Republic Act No. 11036.
“While the national government musters the necessary resources for the law to take its full effect, local governments must also keep a close eye and a caring hand for their constituents, ready to respond at a moment’s notice, including augmenting funds for localized services,” Uno-Rayco said.
