51 a. Ratify ILO Convention 188 or the Work in Fishing Convention which addresses a gap in labor standards for fishers; addresses the specific nature of working in fishing; ensures fishers have decent working and living conditions; and applies to all fishers in all fishing vessels engaged in commercial fishing operations. 370 11. The government needs to consider existing studies that detail economic impacts and, more importantly, environmental and socioeconomic impacts of coastal development projects. Having knowledge of these impacts can help guide government in deciding and implementing reclamation and coastal development projects in a way that is amenable to all affected. In doing so, genuine consultation with the affected communities and information dissemination should also be done. a. Review Executive Order no. 130371 which lifted the moratorium on mineral agreements under Section 4, Executive Order no. 79. Such agreements become the basis for the continued threats that fishing grounds and marine resources face from seabed quarrying and other mineral extraction activities in coastal areas. The review should consider existing scientific studies which detail the impacts of extraction activities on the country’s marine ecosystem. b. Call for the concerned agencies to revise the existing IRR of the Fisheries Code to operationalize the provisions of Section 108 of RA No. 8550 calling the DA to establish and create fisherfolk settlements specifically near fishing grounds. c. The CHR supports the passage of and urges the relevant government agencies to continue advocacy work to push for the enactment of House Bill 6876,372 the bill that would mandate the DA, the DHSUD, and the LGUs to establish fisherfolk settlement areas. 12. Ensure that guidelines limiting the mobility of the populace are clear, specific, simple, and coherent during health emergencies or other humanitarian emergencies. This also includes policies on the distribution of cash grants and emergency subsidies. This is to make sure that the benefits and entitlements of citizens during the crisis get to the right beneficiaries timely. a. Strengthen and ensure the accessibility of remedial mechanisms that check and impose corrective measures against erring officials. These mechanisms should be, effective and responsive. b. Urge service providers to have a standard processing time of applications for benefits, loans, and other social security services to set members’ expectations and hold those accountable in case of unreasonable delays. 13. Conduct continuous monitoring of the situation of the artisanal fisherfolk and the emerging concerns of the sector. In its role as Gender Ombud, the CHR should surface gender inequality issues and mainstream participation of women at all levels of policy-making to ensure recognition in the sector. The CHR will continue to continue to strengthen collaboration with relevant stakeholders including national government agencies, local government units, the academe, fisherfolk organizations and their support non-government organizations, and coastal communities, among others, in pursuit of the protection, promotion, and fulfillment of the human rights of artisanal fisherfolk. 370 C188, supra note 21 371 EO 130 14 April 2021, Available from Executive Order No. 130 (lawphil.net) (last viewed 11/30/2021) 372 HB 6876, supra note 359
