available/free transportation from one health facility to another. Inadequate facilities were also cited particularly the sharing of beds in Manila, Tacloban and in Zamboanga City. Accounts that some RH services were unable and/or refused in some facilities were also reported; only hospitals admit patients needing Post Abortion Care, and some hospitals, according to accounts and submission, even refuse such services. RH information and Engagement Regarding the provision of RH information and the availability of information including information on all RH services, people’s experiences in all areas pointed to its improvable status. While the DOH, POP Com and the health workers from the Barangay and the Local Government Units provide RH information on a daily basis, including house to house visits by volunteer barangay health workers, accounts of lack of information on RH services continue. Women continue to be unaware of the available RH services, and men continue to lack engagement in RH. There is recognition that information dissemination should include men in the RH agenda and a rethinking of RH as not the sole concern of women. It has been noted that a recurring experience among areas is the low participation of men in the RH agenda, whether in terms of policies, programs and processes, or in the context of making decisions between partners. In Mindanao, concerns have been raised on the failure to engage indigenous and religious leaders in the RH agenda and to engage them in information dissemination on RH. Sexuality and RH education have also been raised as lacking and inconsistent in many areas, pointing to the need for strengthened RH and Sexuality education. Specific to other RH services, the results show uneven focus and availability of services and information, other aspects of RH are often left behind, particularly raised were: HIV and STD, mental health as part of RH care, remedies in cases of VAW, services targeting LGBTIs, education and counseling on sexuality and reproductive health, reproductive tract cancers, and management of infertility and sexual dysfunction. It has been pointed out as well, the need to address the health needs of women in all stages of the life cycle, noting the absence of focus for elderly women and the invisibility of the needs of lesbians, bisexuals and transwomen. 22
