EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) as a National Human Rights Institution and as Gender Ombud under the Magna Carta of Women conducted a National Inquiry on the Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights between March and May of 2016. A national inquiry is a proactive and cost-effective strategy adopted by the National Human Rights Institute to investigate a large number of complaints and systematic violations of human rights. The inquiry aims to document related experiences of women, communities, health service providers, health centers, local governments, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to surface issues on reproductive health and reproductive rights that still need to be addressed. The National Inquiry consisted of three interrelated parts: the launch on March 1, 2016 which included a call for submissions to the Inquiry; the Regional Consultations on the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Magna Carta of Women (MCW) with special focus on Reproductive Health (RH) conducted during the entire month of March; and the Fact Finding and Public Hearing conducted during the months of April and May 2016 in 1) National Capital Region, 2) Legazpi-Sorsogon, 3) Zamboanga City; 4) Tacloban-Leyte-Samar, 4) Cagayan de OroBukidnon. During the course of the Fact Finding and Public Hearings, the Commission has consulted a total of 712 individuals. It has conducted 5 public hearings, 15 days of fact finding in 5 regions covering 13 cities/municipalities and 23 Barangays. It has also visited 29 government health office/facilities and has heard 89 testimonies under oath. It has gathered more or less 95 individual submissions and 7 submissions from organizations. The organizations that forwarded submissions to the National Inquiry were: Center for Reproductive Health and Rights, EngendeRights, Lilak Purple Action for Women, Rainbow Rights, Philippine Deaf Resource Center, and Philippine Alliance for Philippine Alliance of Persons with Chronic Illness. The present document reports the results of the fact finding and public hearings in each of the five cluster-areas and of the submissions received by the Commission in relation to the four objectives of the National Inquiry.  On the Effectiveness and Levels of Implementation of RH Services and Information The results of the Fact Finding and Public hearing showed uneven implementation of the RH law primarily due to decentralization and autonomy of local government units. This resulted in the fragmented delivery of reproductive health services. The fact finding and the public hearings reveal that local government units show varying degrees of support for the implementation of the law from full support and political will to outright refusal to implement provisions of the RH law.
