Himey natin attorney. Parang sinasabi ninyo is first, there should be a recognition on the part of the Philippine government that indeed,

mayroong mga naabusong lola noong panahon ng Japon. After that, an apology from the Japanese government.

After that, the appropriate reparations. Tama ba ang pagkakasalansan ko? Yan ba ang gusto ninyong mangyari?

Actually, sinusunodan ko lang yung recommendation ng ating UN CEDAW committee. So, ang sinasabi ng UN CEDAW committee ay dapat mayroong recognition.

And recognition means there has to be an admission that there is or there was a violation of women's human rights.

So, yun yung unang kikilalaning kasi part siya ng transitional justice.

Pangalawa, sabi ng UN CEDAW committee, dapat may formal apology. Hindi sinabi ng CEDAW committee kung ito ba dapat mula sa Japan

o dapat sa Estado dahil kailangan din na mag-apologize sa Estado dahil sa kawalan ng aksyon doon sa nangyari sa kanila.

So, yung pangat daw, yung reparation na kailangan tugunan. In fact, yung sinasabi ng CEDAW committee malawak.

May generally moral and actual damages at sinasabi nila. Pero sinabi din nila na isa din na pwedeng gawin ng gobyerno

at recommendation nila ay ang pagpasa ng isang batas na magkakaroon ng paraan para yung mga biktima ng sexual slavery,

ng panahon ng gyera ay magkaroon ng paraan ng makakuha ng compensation.

And for this to happen, kailangan na meron tayong legislation or kailangan na may batas.

So ibig sabihin pala attorneys ngayon habang tayo nag-uusap, wala palang official recognition even from the part of the Philippine government.

Officially, hindi pa natin ni-recognize na talagang nagkaroon ng mga comfort women during Japanese occupation in the Philippines?

Sa tingin ko meron namang pag-recognize at some point.

Meron naman even in fact the statement that was issued by the government right now matapos lumabas ito, sinasabi na kinikilala yung naranasan ng mga comfort women.

And then meron din mga statement, even the Supreme Court nung natalo ang kaso nito, meron din recognition na kinikilala na matindi yung pinagdadaanan ng mga kapakbaehan ito.

Wala lang legislation?

Sinasabi lang ng UN Senate Committee, hindi pa sapat. Kailangan pang meron pang gawin.

At kasama dito ang pag-create ng framework of compensation para sa wartime sexual slavery ng mga biktima.

Pagkilala sa history, isama sa curriculum ito, isama sa pagtutuloy sa mga kabataan.

At magkaroon ng masculistic approach sa pagbigay ng compensation and reparation sa ating mga malaya lolas.

Kasagal na umandari itong kaso na ito, ngayon pa lang si Sen. Riza Contiveros ang nag-file ng panukalang batas. Tama po ba?

Meron kong, hindi ko sure ma'am Doris kung si Sen. Riza ba't siya, pero ang alam ko, ang CHR meron ng statement nito at position paper supporting the legislation that recognizes the comfort women at kanilang pangailangan ng reparation.

Isa nga sa pwede nating tingnan kung meron tayong marcos victims compensation sa ating mga biktima noong panahon ng martial law, dapat magkakaroon din o pwede magkaroon ng ganitong forma din ng reparation or legislature na pwede tumugon sa kalagayan ng comfort women o ating malaya lolas.

Ang isang punto din na sinabi ng UNC Committee, sabi niya bakit ang ating war veterans ay malaki ang mga binibigay na beneficio at pagkilala ng ating gobyerno. May batas agad na naipasan, meron silang maraming beneficio na tinikilala, pero bakit walang ganoong batas na naipasa pagdating sa ating mga malaya lolas.

Sabi nga namin ni Doris, kasi maselan ang usapin. Hindi natin head-on kinakonfront ang issue kasi parang maselan pag-usapan.

Kaya din para sa akin and also para sa CHR bilang National Human Rights Institution and Gender and Development Umbud, yung pagkilala, yung decision na ito ay napakahalaga. Kasi yung nasa silence na claims ng mga women at na madalas nasa Santa Vesa dahil may mas malaki pang usapin na relations ay napag-usapan na.

Hindi pala tama na isasan tabi ang issue ng mga kababaihan lalo na paglabag, sexual slavery, torture ng kababaihan, panggagahasa ng mga kababaihan. Hindi pala tama ito at dapat tinutugunan ng gobyerno.

At matagal pa rin yung tutugun kung paano nila susundin ang mga ito. Sana seryosong tutugunan ng gobyerno ang recommendations ng si Yoko Nopi dahil ito ay tagumpay ng mga malaya lolas na matagal na nag-push para makapuha ng hustisya.

Ito ang framework na mabuo para magkaroon ng system of compensation and reparation for the malaya lolas. Magandang simulan na usapin yan at openness ng DOJ to discuss with the legislature kung paano ipasa ang bagong batas para tugunan ito. Ito ay mga welcome developments.
