of the EO and the pull out of contraceptives. The stop gap measures implemented by the DOH through the Nurse Deployment Program helped in providing unmet needs of women in Sorsogon City. However, being a stop gap measure, the NDPs are not sustainable and women, especially the most marginalized and those in GIDA areas are unable to access both RH services and information. The TRO on the Implanon also has the same effect, as it deprives women free access to the commodity. In NCR for example, women who are informal settlers prefer Implanon with its effectivity lasting for three (3) years, however, the TRO prevents them from obtaining free Implanon shots. They simply cannot afford to purchase Implanon on their own. Women who are economically capable of purchasing Implanon are not affected by the TRO as it can still be purchased and is dispensed in private clinics. On the absolute prohibition of abortion and the absence of emergency contraception, the submissions from Center for Reproductive Rights and EngendeRights have made clear that such polices mostly impact the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable women. The prohibition casts a stigma on women who’ve suffered from abortion and in effect results in the denial of post abortion care which the RH law supposedly assures. The stigma and criminalization of abortion has also led many poor women to resort to unsafe abortions. Documentation on women who’ve suffered from unsafe abortions and who were unable to access PAC was compiled and submitted to the Commission by CRR. EngendeRigths further submits and as echoed by participants during the public hearing that the absence of emergency contraceptives fail to protect women and girls who are victims of sexual violence. Their absence limits the autonomy of women and girls over their bodies and result to unwanted pregnancies as a result of sexual violence. On the proliferation of ordinances criminalizing and penalizing traditional and indigenous home births, the women who mostly bear the brunt of these measures were found to be Moro and Indigenous women and women who mostly live in geographically inaccessible and disadvantaged areas. While these ordinance were adopted to encourage facility based delivery and to address increase of maternal mortality, the effect of the measure has been discriminatory to Moro and Indigenous women, it has also resulted to the imposition of penalities and criminalization of women from GIDA areas for the failings of the State specifically for the State’s failure to bring health centers and facilities to far flung areas and to women who need them most. We have documented accounts of traditional birth attendants refusing to help women because of fear of imprisonment, we have submissions of IP women who were forced to travel distances to go to the health facilities for fear of imprisonment. In the submission of Lilak Purple Action for Women, they forwarded the declaration of Indigenous women denouncing the passage of these ordinances and calling for respect of the traditional birthing practices of Indigenous women. A Council of Elders in Bukidnon likewise issued a resolution calling for the repeal of the Ordinance 8
