@work with my team


        With the increasing report of abuses involving women and children, our office can't help but be concerned  on the management of how the police should handle cases like these.  The initial action would be how to protect their rights be they are victims or offenders.  As you see, these part of citizenry should not be treated like common criminals, no special treatment particularly the offenders, but just to retain and maintain their dignity and to keep their identity confidential while the case or trial is on going.  So our office, mandated to have control and supervision over the police, laid out several policies that would guide the police officers on how to handle cases of women and of children in conflict with the law. 

       Those policies were set for implementation years ago, foremost among them is the establishment of Women's Desk in every police stations.  The committee on Gender Awareness Development (GAD), has taken initiative to inspect these desks at police stations, to look into the facilities such as separate jails for women and children, the investigation room suitable for children, the training of policewomen manning the women's desk and several other concerns that would help the abuses suffered by women and children.   

         And so the personnel involved in GAD committee were divided into team and I was included in CAMANAVA team.  CAMANAVA stands for Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela, these are places under the Northern Police District (NPD).  First on our itinerary is the Malabon Police Station, we are seven (7) in our team including our driver.  The following pictures will given you an idea of our police station and our work.

           I am sorry that we could not show the interview with abused women and children because of its confidentiality.  These pictures were taken at Caloocan Police Station.  
             

        We interviewed a lot of people in the police station, in particular the police women from the Caloocan Women's Desk.  It's a long tedious work but it's worth it.  So after, we went our way to celebrate one of our team member's birthday.  Liz's birthday and our area supervisor Dir. Josephmar Gil, treated us to a sumptuous lunch at Shakey's Pizza.  Here are some photo's for that happy hour.

My version of pata tim

This is Friday evening, i just came from work, before i went home, i passed by the local store to buy some of the things i need for my planned meals this Saturday.  As i am at work most of the time during the weekdays, it is only on Saturdays and Sundays that i really has the time to cook.  Well, of course i washed, sliced and seasoned the meats and fish(es) i will use for my planned meals.  Breakfast should come easy, scrambled eggs, pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice will be a good starter for a day.  I don't think there is a need to go into the details of preparing scrambled eggs and pancakes so we move for cooking the lunch.  I have started to clean pork and prepare the ingredients.   Here is how to cook pata tim. 1 pork pata (front leg) about 1.5 kilo                Procedure: 8 pcs shitake mushrooms                             ...

after the storm

Rain, rain, go away... here in the Philippines at this time of the year, the rain never stops, storms and typhoons are always nearby... water, water everywhere.  Gloomy days just like my heart, drowning in emptiness but i find hope and inspiration in knowing that there are other people whose problems are enormous but still they are standing and keeping their fingers cross hoping against hope that the next day will be a better one.  I don't enjoy seeing miserable life, its just the thought that our problems are not unconquerable, that every problem has solution, and that everything will fit the picture at the right time. I have been spending time surfing the net looking for recipe and tips on good housekeeping and articles on health.  Oh i'd like to read on and on to have something to blog about.  Hey, i am going to be an expert blogger in no time, watch me.!!!    That is why heavy rains are at times good coz i will have plenty of time reading for my blog...

Spending Sunday Afternoon with Nicole

         Nicole is the daughter of my niece Emyrose who is now in Dubai.  Nicole has been with me since she was seven years old and she is now eleven and is in grade VI.  It's been a month since the school had started and the hustles of first months has taken a tool for both of us.  Buying school things, books,uniforms, shoes, bags and all the writing tools that goes with it.           And so this is the first Sunday that I can spend alone (?) i hope, but luckily, Nicole wanted to come and see the place other than the school door.  Surely, we did had a fun Sunday afternoon, shopping for some new clothes, because she has grown taller.  Ah! how time flies, we saw some tees on sale and shorts too.  But before that I did pay my bills, phone,cable and water.               We were at the Lucky Dragon Mall in Manila. Walking the aisles of the mall and looking for things...
