Compliance of Region 10 LGUs with Anti-Sexual Harassment Measures for CY 2024-2025

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), in partnership with the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), continues to strengthen the implementation of Anti-Sexual Harassment (ASH) measures nationwide. The latest compliance report for Calendar Year 2025 highlights the progress of local government units (LGUs) in establishing key mechanisms to prevent and address gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces.

Table 2 presents the compliance status of Region 10 LGUs with CCTV camera installation in public spaces, specifically on major roads, alleys, and sidewalks, for CY 2025, highlighting efforts to enhance security and surveillance. The data shows that all five provinces have installed CCTV cameras in key public areas. Among 93 cities and municipalities, 79 (84.9%) have cameras on major roads, 76 (81.7%) in alleys, and 71 (76.3%) on sidewalks. Meanwhile, out of 2,022 barangays, 518 (25.6%) have installed CCTV cameras on major roads, 315 (15.6%) in alleys, and 294 (14.5%) on sidewalks. This demonstrates significant efforts by LGUs to enhance public safety and crime prevention in Region 10.

CY 2025

Table 3 presents the compliance status of Region 10 LGUs in ensuring that private establishments accessible to the public have implemented measures to prevent and address gender-based sexual harassment (GBSH) for CY 2025. The data highlights the number of LGUs where establishments have adopted key preventive mechanisms, including warning signs, designated Anti-Sexual Harassment Enforcers (ASHes), installed CCTV cameras, and developed protocols. Among the five provinces, four (80.0%) have establishments with warning signs, one (20.0%) has designated ASHEs, four (80.0%) have installed CCTV cameras, and two (40.0%) have developed protocols. In cities and municipalities, 35 (37.6%) have establishments with warning signs, eight (8.6%) have designated ASHEs, 65 (69.9%) have installed CCTV cameras, and 16 (17.2%) have developed protocols. The figures indicate ongoing efforts by LGUs to enhance public safety and accountability in private establishments across Region 10. 

Table 4. Compliance of Region 10 LGUs with Education and Awareness Campaigns for CY 2025 

Table 4 highlights the compliance of Region 10 LGUs with education and awareness campaigns on gender-based sexual harassment (GBSH) for CY 2025. The data presents the number of LGUs that have posted copies of RA No. 11313 and related ordinances in conspicuous locations, as well as those that have distributed information, education, and communication (IEC) materials to raise awareness and condemn GBSH in streets and public spaces. Among the five provinces, three (60%) have posted copies of the law, while all five (100%) have distributed IEC materials. In cities and municipalities, 56 (60.2%) have displayed copies of RA No. 11313, and 78 (83.9%) have distributed IEC materials. In barangays, 1,346  (66.6%) have posted the law, while 1,387 (68.6%) have actively disseminated IEC materials. These figures underscore the ongoing efforts of LGUs in Region 10 to promote awareness and foster safer public environments through education and advocacy initiatives.

The figures below show the change in LGU compliance in establishing key mechanisms to prevent and address gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces from CY 2024 to 2025.

Figure 3. Increase and Decrease in Compliance of Region 10 Barangays in Establishing Key Mechanisms to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Sexual Harassment in Public Spaces from CY 2024 to 2025 

Overall, Region 10 LGUs have increased their compliance with key mechanisms in CY 2025 compared to 2024, except for the number of LGUs where private establishments accessible to the public have installed CCTV cameras and the number of LGUs with a copy of RA No. 11313 and related ordinances posted in conspicuous locations. 

The DILG urges LGUs to sustain and enhance their efforts in implementing these measures, emphasizing the need for accessible and effective reporting channels, trained personnel, and responsive local policies. Strengthening these mechanisms will reinforce protection, improve response systems, and promote gender equality in communities.
