Quick-Response Operation The CHR provides prompt investigation of cases of human rights violations and abuses based on complaints of clients or as an official act taken without formal request from another party. This service contributes to the resolution of violations of human rights, as well as the provision of effective remedies to victims. A total of 193 QRO were conducted by the CHR. IV. Accomplishments on Prevention Program/Services The prevention component reinforces the protection services of the CHR. The former—prevention service, joins the core programs, and together with them serve as one efficient interlinked mechanism for the CHR to perform its many roles as NHRI. In line with international resolutions and all ongoing human rights cooperation recognizing preemptive, thus, preventive actions on human rights abuses and damages as the best deterrence against commission, the CHR strategized, adopted and incorporated in its service programs the appropriate mechanisms and measures of prevention. Promptly averting all forms of violations in accordance with their mandate-based duties operates ahead and must go before all efforts to uphold human rights. In its program of services to prevent human rights violations, the CHR exercises the function of monitoring, conducting jail visitations, and producing reports. The basis for this is not only to gather information and determine current situations; it is also meant to emphasize that evidence-based accountability and other efforts facilitating justice are a key factor to prevent further violations of human rights. A. Places of Deprivation of Liberty (POD) Visitation Program The Places of Deprivation of Liberty (POD) Visitation Program involves the conduct of unannounced visits by a CHR Visiting Team to gather information on the actual conditions of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) and POD. This is undertaken by means of interviews of facility personnel and PDL, ocular inspections, and records reviews, among others. The data and reports generated are analyzed to come up with a time-lined plan: immediate, mid-term, or long-term measures to respond to the human rights issues and concerns of PDL. These measures should guarantee that the State respects, protects, and fulfills the rights of all PDL in the Philippines and are resulting in PDL enjoying their human rights. The POD Visitation Program also includes the provision of legal counselling and advice and other forms of assistance to PDL as response to their requests.
