Human Rights Protection Services I. Documented Complaints For the year 2021, CHR continued to collect, organize and analyze data and information to support its investigation undertakings towards potential litigations in the proper courts as opted by the victims and their families. The documentation component of assisting victims helped consolidate the body of information that supported lawsuits in the courts and the entire prosecution proceedings. It is also a component for educating and organizing stakeholders as well as promoting human rights advocacy in arenas shared with political, legal and judicial counterparts. The occurrence of incidences of Human Rights Violations (HRVs) did not see a decline with the prolonged pandemic and the restrictions to mobility and social interactions. The overall number of documented complaints in 2021 has reached 6,078 which is 20% higher as compared to the previous year. The three regional offices register the numbers respectively: ROs IV-A (930, 15.78%), RO I (830, 13.65%), and RO V (481, 8.16%) with the most request for protection services in 2021.
