12 Human Rights Situation in Police Lock-up Cells As indicated in the Data Presentation, there were one hundred twenty-two (122) police lock-up cells in the NCR validated by the CHR Teams in the process of this study. The study also covered twelve (12) Police Community Precincts (PCP) on a random basis, since these are under the immediate supervision of police station in the city or municipality level and that persons arrested by PCP police have to be brought to the police station for booking, investigation, and filing of appropriate charges, if warranted. The maintenance and operation of PCP is also assessed from time to time by the PNP in light of the peace and order situation on the ground. II. Validated Issues Below are the common issues that were validated across the five (5) Police Districts in the National Capital Region. 1. Records Issues revolved around incomplete, outdated or total absence of PDL registers. 2. Facilities and Accommodation Congestion was the primary concern of PDL. Other issues were: (1) dilapidated lock-up cells; (2) poor ventilation; (3) absence of natural light; (4) lack of beddings or mattresses; (5) poorly maintained or absence of toilet facilities, including bathrooms; and (6) want for separate lock-up cells for children and LGBT. 33 3. Basic Necessities Regarding basic necessities, scarcity of food and water constituted the PDL’s primary concern. Most police stations do not have institutional fund to cover detainees’ meals. Water supply is usually insufficient and some police stations do not even have potable water. The absence of toiletries and clothing/detainees’ uniform were also raised. 4. Health The following issues, in relation to the right to health, were raised in some police stations: lack of medicines and first-aid kits; absence of pre-natal service for pregnant detainees; lack of medical officers assigned in the police stations; dearth of supply for personal hygiene; non-referral to hospital or institutions of sick PDL requiring special care; and absence of engagement with social worker or psychologist. 33 The Makati Police Station in particular raised their concern before the CHR Team on where to detain LGBT deprived of liberty.
