In Region 11, during the typhoon Pablo, some of the experiences were detailed as follows:
There were pregnant women who got sick, and some suffered from TB because
the response arrived late. It took a long time for the goods and services to arrive
because there were debris everywhere.
There was discrimination in giving supplies – those who are nearest of kin or
family were prioritized. Others received expired goods and medicines. Delivery
of goods and services was political and followed color coding, e.g. if your color
was yellow and not pink, you cannot receive supplies. There were patients who
were denied immediate care. The victims who were wounded were told to list
their names to receive payments, but when the money was released it did not
reach the victims.
During the typhoon Pablo there were politicians who hid the supplies (medicines,
etc.), and gave these to private persons for selling, and they would tell the people
there are no more supplies but that they could but from this specific person.
For the health workers, lack of concern was noted. They only catered to the ones
they wanted to serve. They would not go to rural areas because it is muddy, or
the people have no “proper hygiene”, and smell bad.
In Region 8, RH goods and services are available during displacement, but these mostly
come from NGOs and not the government.
For the other Regions, RH goods and services are available during times of displacement
/ crisis / calamity/ development aggression. In CAR, for instance, RH goods and services
are always available, and there is an active Barangay DRRMC that provides for the
necessities of the victims. The DOH also provides for goods and services during these
crises. In Albay, these are available, but in other areas in Region 5 such as in Sorsogon
City, the supplies and services are not sufficient. In the aftermath of Typhoon Sendong in
Region 10, it was noted that there was a health center in one of the evacuation areas,
although they are not sure as to the extent of the RH products and services available.
The constituents also experienced easy access to RH goods and services in these Regions.
