Message
The development thrust of the City Government of Davao
are cantered on its people, and the welfare of our women and
children is among our top priorities, as evident in this 2016 State
of Women and Children Report.
The various offices of the City Government are tasked

with specific functions - from shelter and social protection initia-
tives, to health programs and legal assistant - that cater to our
women and children. These award-winning best practices will
remain in place and we will continually respond to the ever-
growing demands of providing our women and children a
healthy and holistic environment.
We also recognize the invaluable contribution of our part-

ners from non-government organizations, aid agencies, and
foundations in the implementation of both government and pri-
vate sector initiatives for this segment of the population.
This 2016 State of Women and children Report will not

only highlight the positive strides that we have undertaken; it
will also serve to broaden our perspective about our women and
children, and increase our level of responsiveness as we seek to
take bolder steps to address their needs the best we can.
Finally, with this document we hope to lay the foundation

of future local strategies to enable us to prepare a better tomor-
row for the women and children of Davao City.
Daghan salamat.

Message
The Local Government Code of 1991 mandates that local
government units shall exercise its powers and discharge its func-
tions and responsibilities as necessary to efficient and effective
provision of basic services and facilities to its people and these are
means to uphold the rights of women and children to survival, pro-
tection, development and participation.
The City Social Services Development Office is alongside

other offices in pursuing the promotion of the welfare of women
and children in Davao City. The programs implemented by the City
Government always take into consideration those who are vulnera-
ble and in need of intervention.
The 2016 State of Women and Children Report is a vital

document that gives the reader a glimpse on how effective the
programs have been in the past years and how much of the popu-
lation benefitted from government initiatives.
The laurels reaped by Davao City as a Presidential Awardee

for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities should encourage us to
sustain projects intended to uphold the rights of women and chil-
dren as well as formulate child-friendly and gender sensitive pro-
grams that would evolve as their needs change.
May this document find its way into the hands of those who
share the burden and advocacy of opening more opportunities for
children and women to fully develop their potentials as significant
member of our society.

The City is one of the most strategic localities in the

Philippines, having favorable points of entry for sea, land
and air transports.
Travelling by air, southeast over the sea, Davao City

proper is approximately 588 statute miles from Metro Manila
and 241 statute miles from the City of Cebu. It is 971 nautical
miles, if travelled by water from Metro Manila and 593 nauti-
cal miles from Cebu City.
Considered as being one of the largest cities in the

world, Davao City has a land area of 244,000 hectares. It is
composed of one hundred and eighty two (182) barangays
in three (3) congressional districts. This is further subdivided
into eleven (11) Administrative or Political Districts. The First
Congressional District comprises the Poblacion and Talomo Districts, meanwhile Agdao, Buhangin, Bunawan and
Paquibato Districts belong to the Second Congressional District. The districts of Calinan, Toril, Tugbok, Marilog and
Baguio compose the Third Congressional District of the City.
The topography of these districts differ greatly as Davao City

arises from a coastal border to the mountainous elevation. On
the southeast quarter of the city are the plains; graduating to
slightly-hilly areas towards the north and east portions. Areas
such as Calinan, Marilog, Baguio and Tugbok Districts have
higher elevation rising into upland terrains.
The large, contiguous lowland areas of Davao City are coastal

plains and valleys extending inland. These areas are found in
the eastern part of the city where Paquibato District lies, as an
extension of vast lowlands at the head of the Davao Gulf. The
districts of Bunawan, Buhangin, Agdao, Poblacion, Talomo and
Toril are also lowland areas nearly at sea level with about 3 me-
ters of elevation, at the most. Ground composition of these are-
as consists of clay, silt and some sand and gravel. Although this
part is a broad lowland belt, its surface is interspersed by low
hills and knobs.
On the other hand, the city enjoys a mild tropical cli-

mate compared to other parts of the Philippines. With 35.4°C
temperature, Daytimes are almost always sunny. The lowest
temperature with an average of 19.0°C ensures a cool or rainy
night.
Davao City is a locality of both urban and rural com-

munities. To date, urbanization level continue to increase due
to the preference of people from rural areas to settle in ur-
ban growth centers to have better access to employment,
education, housing and others. As of 2010, urbanization level
reached 79.38%.
Its economy boasts of 1,338 financial institutions in

2015, ranging from banks to cooperatives; and 34,192 busi-
ness establishments from retail stores to hotels and services.
The city’s Balance of Trade amounted to $296.81 thousand,
with exports at $2,000.31 M and $1.703.50 Million on imports.

Davao City
The human rights of children and the standards to which all governments must aspire are fully articulated in
the international human rights treaty: the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention is the most univer-
sally accepted human rights instrument in history, uniquely placing children in the center stage. With the ratification
of this instrument, national governments have committed themselves to protect and ensure children’s rights and
further agreed to hold themselves accountable for this commitment before the international community.
Every right spelled out in the Convention is inherent to the human dignity and development of every child.
The Convention protects children’s rights by setting standards in health care, education and legal, civil and social ser-
vices. These benchmarks are non negotiable. States that are party to the Convention are obliged to develop and
undertake all actions and policies in the best interests of the child.
The Convention rests on four foundation principles: non-discrimination (article 2); best interests of the child (article
3); the child’s right to life, survival and development (article 6); And respect for the views of the child (article 12).
All children – regardless of where they are born, race or ethnic group they belong, boys or girls, rich or poor–
must have full opportunity to become a productive member of society and must have the right to speak up and be
heard.
The Convention defines a child as a boy or a girl under the age of 18. It considers a child as both an individu-
al as well as a member of a family and a community. A child is a human being with the full range of rights.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate
the full range of human rights – civil and political as well as economic, social and cultural rights. It is built on varied
legal systems and cultural traditions.
On November 20, 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the governments repre-
sented at the United Nations General Assembly. The country must in itself identify the National Laws and Practices
that had to conform or in parallel with these standards. After this process, ratification follows which formally bind the
country to meet the obligations and responsibilities outlined in the convention. On July 26, 1990, the Philippines rati-
fied the convention.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child has been ratified by 194 countries. The Optional Protocol on the
Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict and on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution
and Child Pornography were ratified by the Philippines on November 20, 2014.

The Survival Data

Maternal mortality is defined as the death
of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days after
pregnancy termination. This arises from the risk at-
tributed to pregnancy and childbirth as well as
from poor quality of health care services, This is a
strong indicator for health care status.
The underlying causes of maternal deaths
are: delay in taking critical actions, delay in seeking
care, delay in making referral and delay in provid-
ing appropriate medical management. Other fac-
tors that contribute to maternal deaths are: un-
planned, mistimed and unwanted pregnancies,
poor detection and management of high-risk preg-
nancies, poor access to health facilities brought
about by geographic distance and cost of trans-
portation, and lack of staff competent in handling
obstetrical emergencies. Analysis of the causes of
maternal deaths shows Postpartum Haemorrhage
and Eclampsia as the leading causes.
Presented in this report are the services pro-
vided to mothers and children. The data reflected
herein will provide insights on what more has to be
done. There are indicators that showed increasing
and high performance vis-á-vis the national targets
set by Department of Health, while there are also
indicators that has a decreasing performance and
failed to achieve the DOH national targets.
Development Goal for

Children Survival Right
By the year 2025...

 All children will have equal chance for survival by
making sure that everyone will have full access to
affordable services and accurate information that
will promote safe pregnancies and produce and nur-
ture healthy babies.

caused by inadequate supply of iron needed to synthesize
hemoglobin, characterized by pallor (paleness), fatigue
and weakness. Iron deficiency results from an inadequate
dietary supply of iron or poor absorption of iron in the
digestive system or of chronic bleeding.

VAWC Cases
STATE OF VAWC IN DAVAO CITY
Summary of Number of VAWC Cases

Reported to City Mayor’s IGDD
Republic Act 9262 otherwise known as the Anti-VAWC Act was signed into law in March 8, 2004, during the
celebration of the International Women’s Day. From its effectivity in 2004 until 2016, there were already a total of
7,422 cases of VAWC served by the IGDD. Usually, the reported VAWC cases have escalated. In August until De-
cember of 2004 alone, IGDD has catered to 107 cases of VAWC. In 2005, same office has served 120 walk-in clients,
including 39 others who were served by the VAWC Legal Team upon their assumption of office on September of
2005. In 2006, the number of walk-in clients doubled, thereby reaching 399. In 2007, clients totaled 363. In 2008,
there were 497 cases. In 2010, the total number of walk-in clients catered by the IGDD reached to 526. Notably,
there is a decrease of reported VAWC incidences as the number of clients served in 2009 totaled to 611. In 2011
onwards, the cases continued to increase, with the following data: 2011: cases reached 634; 2012: there were 1015
cases; 2013: cases reached 1041; 2014: there was a slight decrease in the number of cases, thus, 1032 were ca-
tered; 2015: 1077 were catered. The increase in number is seen as a positive outcome of the city’s continuing cam-
paigns to curb, if not to eliminate VAWC; as it shows that more women are seeking for intervention and that the
“culture of silence” in domestic abuse is slowly becoming a thing of the past.
