IV. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Materials Developed,
Reproduced, and Disseminated
Out of the 63 IEC materials developed and
disseminated, 57 were distributed to the public sector
or 93% of the said total. Other modes and formats of
IEC activities as strategies to broaden awareness
through communication channels by targeting
particular audience to achieve a desired positive result
were conducted. All activities in this regard always
stood on framework of theories and principles that can
model and guide the task of developing more
comprehensive IEC programs.
A total of 71,250 IEC materials covering diverse themes and presented in various
formats were reproduced and disseminated nationwide in 2021. As it has been part of the IEC
engagements to ensure the training and learning dynamic is achieved in general, feedback
tools were used to gather participants’ response and examined later to assess how effectively
the core messages were delivered. Among the total number of IEC materials recipients, 26,
985 had the opportunity to fill up the evaluation forms for IEC materials in which 26,867 or

V. Human Rights Historical Online Teaching Spot (HOTspot)
The Human Rights History Online Teaching Spot or the Human Rights HOTspot has
been one of the learning platforms of the CHR under its "Human Rights History and Human
Rights Advocacy and Education Memorialization" project. This platform was formed and
developed to put forward digitalized education and entertainment (packaged as edu-tainment)
for all relevant parties and stakeholders. These hotspots specifically represent landmark
descriptions in Philippine Human Rights including narratives of its pre-history and the
progressing chronicles of contemporary times. The Human Rights HOTspot has its unique
features as a CHR project. The first of the rooms that are waiting to be seen and visited
contains diverse objects presented in different art media. A medium for every art form like
painting, sculpture, mural and contemporary arts are in exhibit. The art objects have been
carefully curated for learners and enthusiasts to revisit, rediscover and reconnect with.
This is most a beneficial for truth-finding and fact-checking given the current
developments in Philippine politics. Professor Xiao Chua, a highly regarded historian and
human rights advocate helped understand and analyze the importance of these objects
through his write-ups. Trivia and Quiz are also available for everyone to assess their learning
and how well we #WeRemember the history.
