Statement of CHR Spokesperson, Atty. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, lauding the passage of law that increases the age of sexual consent to 16
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR), as the Gender Ombud, celebrates the passage of Republic Act No. 11648 or an Act “providing for stronger protection against rape and sexual exploitation and abuse, increasing the age for determining the commission of statutory rape.” This is a significant step in protecting children from sexual violence and affording them better access to justice regardless of their gender and sexual identity. Prior to the passage of this law, Philippines had the lowest age to determine statutory rape in Asia and second lowest in the world next to Nigeria at 11 years old.

The Commission on Human Rights, as the country’s Gender Ombud, is disappointed with the veto on the Gender Responsive Restroom Program of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), which we consider a key gender and human rights item in the General Appropriations Bill of 2022.

This entails the conduct of gender analysis to pursue programs, activities, and projects that respond to the identified gender issues of the agency. The DOTr’s mandate includes ensuring fast, safe, efficient, and reliable transportation […]
