00:00This is the Republic Act No. 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.

00:06It is a law that protects the rights of women and children from various forms of violence and abuse.

00:13But despite the existence of this law, there are still many who are not familiar with the process of filing a case.

00:19And to discuss the whole process, there are documents that need to be prepared and the rights of the victim

00:26who will file a Valsey case. We are joined live by Atty. Alice Vidal. Welcome back. Good morning, Atty.

00:32Good morning, PP. Good morning, Deanne. And good morning to the viewers.

00:36Happy Women's Month, PP.

00:40Of course.

00:42Atty., how does the process of filing a Valsey case start? What is the first step?

00:47The first step is to prepare the documents.

00:50Okay.

00:51And prepare ourselves, the ones who will file the case. All the documents need to be prepared.

00:58If there is a medical certificate, prepare it.

01:01So given that, if there is a complaint in the barangay, of course, there are three hearings,

01:06then there is a certificate to file action, that's when the documents are ready for the going court.

01:12It doesn't go through that process anymore.

01:14Oh, okay.

01:15Because if you file a complaint in the barangay, that day, you need to issue a barangay protection order.

01:22Especially if you go there, you already have a black eye.

01:26Do you need to go through three hearings?

01:28It doesn't go through that process anymore.

01:30That is one of the exemptions that barangay certification is no longer required.

01:36Okay.

01:36What is the instance where a woman really needs to file a case?

01:41At the onset, she already experienced a beating from her husband, she should immediately go to the barangay.

01:46Yes, of course.

01:48And I would like to advise the women, don't wait until you have a black eye.

01:53If you have a foot, run. Don't get beaten.

01:57That's true.

01:58But if you are already in that process, you got beaten,

02:02then go to the barangay and ask for help.

02:06Ask for medical help.

02:08Everything should be documented.

02:11And if you have witnesses, get an affidavit of witnesses.

02:15Alright, Doc. Sorry, Doc.

02:18It's okay.

02:21What is the difference between a barangay protection order, BPO,

02:25temporary protection order, TPO, and permanent protection order?

02:30The barangay protection order is issued by the barangay and the government.

02:35If the barangay is not there.

02:37It's only 30 days. It's like a preliminary.

02:40After that, you run.

02:41But you should also file a temporary protection order.

02:46That's 30 days.

02:4815 days in the barangay, 30 days in the temporary protection order.

02:52And you will have a permanent protection order.

02:56Later, there will be a hearing.

02:57This is a petition to the Regional Trial Court.

03:00It can't just be the barangay.

03:03How long does it take for a vowsick case to be processed?

03:06It should be fast.

03:07Because this is really rushed.

03:10Because the victim needs to leave the house.

03:15If he's going to be beaten, he needs to leave the house.

03:18Or the victim can leave the house through the temporary protection order.

03:27Even if it's his house.

03:29The victim will stay there.

03:33Through the protection order.

03:34Okay.

03:35What are the rights of protection that a victim can get while the process of the case is ongoing?

03:40He can't be approached or talked to.

03:43He can't be given support.

03:45Or the cost of the child can go to him.

03:48And he can also ask for a vehicle.

03:56Even if the vehicle is not his name.

04:00He can take it and give it to the court within the protection order.

04:09Okay.

04:09Atty., what are the common challenges experienced by women who file cases like this?

04:15The common challenge is usually if there's no money.

04:17Especially if there's economic abuse.

04:19Then there's no payment.

04:21But that's the answer of the PO.

04:24It's free when they file.

04:26And usually, there's no filing fee if there's no payment.

04:31Okay.

04:32Does this apply to anyone who's with you at home?

04:35Or to anyone who hits you?

04:36No, it should only apply to your former partner.

04:41This only applies to a spouse.

04:44Ex-spouse or child.

04:46You need to have a dating or live-in relationship.

04:52Your neighbor can't file a BAUSI.

04:57That's a different case.

04:59Yes, that's a different case.

05:00If it's sexual harassment, Safe Spaces Act, it depends.

05:04Or under the revised Penal Code.

05:06If you were hit, serious physical injuries.

05:08There, direct assault.

05:10But this BAUSI only applies to those who have a former dating or live-in relationship or have a child.

05:21Okay.

05:22What if the victim is afraid to file?

05:25Can others file for this?

05:26Yes, this is one of the things that the DSWD can file.

05:32Ascendants can file.

05:35Father, mother.

05:36Or descendant, your child.

05:38Those who can be seen.

05:39Anyone. Two people.

05:41This is a public crime.

05:44Anyone can file.

05:47That's why this law is really dangerous to adults.

05:52Anyone can file for this.

05:55Especially those who abuse.

05:58Okay.

05:59So for instance, we're seeing posts online, videos,

06:02where you can really see the face of a woman being beaten.

06:05The beating of a woman is still recorded.

06:08There.

06:08So how...

06:09Of course, there are people who will sympathize with her.

06:13They will help her to file a case.

06:15She filed a case.

06:16Suddenly, she backed off.

06:17Suddenly, she complained.

06:18That's okay.

06:19You can also complain.

06:20That's the challenge with this case.

06:23It's usually forgiven.

06:24But if you're involved again,

06:26it's gone.

06:27The previous case is gone.

06:28The next one is already there.

06:30And for instance,

06:32there's a case where you're involved again and again.

06:37You're forgiven.

06:38You're involved.

06:38It means that it's gone.

06:40It's not...

06:41But there's a 20-year expiration period

06:47or 20 years for you to file a case.

06:50Okay.

06:51Alright.

06:52On the barangay level,

06:53I wonder,

06:54do the abuser and the victim talk to each other?

06:57Because with that instance,

06:58there might be intimidation on the victim.

07:01What's the scenario?

07:02Nothing.

07:02Even in court,

07:03there's nothing.

07:04It's not included in the mediation.

07:07Okay.

07:07They don't talk to each other.

07:09These are the cases that they don't face

07:14and don't agree with.

07:16Okay.

07:17If you want them to agree with you,

07:18but there's no mediation for this.

07:20Because in the barangay,

07:23they'll directly ask you to leave.

07:25Barangay protection order.

07:26Valid for 30 days.

07:28Meaning,

07:28they'll ask you to leave.

07:30I have a case.

07:31We asked him to leave.

07:33He left the house.

07:35He didn't bring anything.

07:37He won't come back.

07:39There.

07:39Okay.

07:40The victim is protected.

07:41Attorney,

07:41what specific worst case

07:43did you handle with VAUCIE

07:45that can be related to our KRS-P?

07:48We handled VAUCIE,

07:50but it's really a closed door.

07:54It's a foreigner.

07:55Because usually,

07:56women are patient

07:58when it's a foreigner.

07:59Don't be afraid

08:00if your husband or your children are a foreigner.

08:04It's easy to get them out of here.

08:06Sometimes,

08:08they hit you if you don't like the food.

08:11They throw the food on your face.

08:14They break it.

08:15Those are verbal abuse

08:18and psychological abuse.

08:23For example,

08:24you're embarrassed in front of other people.

08:26There are a lot of people.

08:27Visitors.

08:28They'll throw the plate at you.

08:29They'll break it.

08:31Those are...

08:32Grounded for VAUCIE.

08:34Yes.

08:35That's psychological abuse.

08:37There's also economic abuse.

08:40Economic abuse

08:41when you're not given support

08:42or your husband doesn't want you to work.

08:45You're locked up.

08:46Don't work.

08:47I'll work.

08:48You stay here.

08:49That's economic abuse.

08:50It's okay.

08:51Okay.

08:52So, it's important to know

08:53the rights of women

08:55so that you know

08:57when to file a VAUCIE case.

08:59Thank you very much,

09:00Attorney Alice.
