in the process of the Commission —- led dissemination process, the mapping was presented in a GO - NGO Forum
which was held to call attention to the task of implementing the Convention and focusing efforts to act on
mmittee’ s concluding recommendations. In addition, communications to relevant government agencies were
sent to invite their attention to respond to issues pertaining to their mandate.
‘Many State agencies have responded on their areas of responsibility, The Commission hopes that the sharing of
nformation leading to the fulfillment of the recommendations arising from this reporting cycle on the Convention
will lead to a more substantial, timely, and relevant submission for the next periodic report (to be considered the
‘Philippine’ s 5th and 6th Report) scheduled on 30 June 2013.
To the credit of the national government as a whole, the Second National Human Rights
Action Plan, anchored
‘on ‘the various human rights treaties to which the Philippines is state party, is in the process of validation.
‘Commission. as well as many non-government organizations, has been part of the drafting process.
The
‘WAY FORWARD, FOLLOW UP
Follow up of the concluding observations and recommendations of treaty bodies, will mainly consist of the
periodic convening of the GO- NGO Forum and other activities which will be used as a platform for constructive
‘dialogues and action at the national and regional levels to thresh out issues and remind goverment of its role
to implement the Committee's recommendations.
In the course of performing the Commission's role to disseminate the Convention, its implementation by
government of the recommendations of the Committee, the Mapping Document will be the Commission’s
companion in ensuring that national and local processes are grounded on specific issues raised in the treaty
reporting process.
