prevent health workers and health services providers from performing their job. The question of salary and regularization of health service providers and health workers also indicate this lack or inadequate support. Health service providers and health workers both public and private are likewise faced with challenges brought about by religious and cultural beliefs, misinformation and misconception of RH, and the absence of health seeking behavior among the clientele. During the inquiry, health service providers and health workers echo the challenges posed by religious opposition and resistance to RH in the delivery of RH services. They also elaborated on how some women refuse to avail of RH services and FP commodities with the misplaced belief that RH is against their culture. It has been pointed out that most of these barriers are based on misconceptions on RH and could well be addressed by more comprehensive information dissemination at the community level and by engaging religious and cultural leaders. Recommendations from the fact finding and public hearing include continued monitoring of the compliance to MCW and the RH Law, augmentation of funds for the implementation of the RH Law, review of policy on abortion, increased and integrated efforts at educating communities and capacitating implementers on RH, engagement of traditional or religious leaders in the promotion of RH, the enhanced engagement of men in the RH agenda and implementation, the recognition of the specific needs of marginalized sectors, and ensuring the sustained availability of RH goods and services especially for the marginalized sectors. 12
