Understanding incest in the philippines

Amethya de la llana - Personal Name;

Incest cases are increasingly reported in the Philippines. Data from the Department of SocialWork and Development (DSWD) reveals the prevalence of incest nationwide. From 1991 to1996, the number of reported incest cases reached 1, 835 from 45 in 1991. For 1996 alone, theDSWD documented 624 cases of incest out of the 2, 621 reported cases of sexual abuse ofchildren. The top five regions with the most number of reported incest cases are the NationalCapital Region with 178 cases, followed by Region IV (100 cases) , Region III (50 cases),Region VII (44 cases), and Region V (42 cases).In a research conducted by the Women’s Legal Bureau, Inc. (WLB) covering 478 PhilippineSupreme Court decisions on rape from 1961 to 1992, 447 or 71 percent of the 630 rapistsinvolved were known to the victims. Of this figure, 58 cases were conclusively incestuous, thatis, committed by blood relatives, including stepfathers. The study further reveals that in additionto the 58 cases, 158 cases were committed by acquaintances (long time neighbors, classmates,and friends of the victims’ parents, accounting for 25 percent of the perpetrators), 21 cases by in-laws, 20 cases by persons in authority and 46 cases by friends.On the other hand, the 1996 study conducted by the University of the Philippines Center forWomen’s Studies Foundation, Inc., shows that 30 percent of 1,000 cases of family violence thatoccurred from 1994 to the first quarter of 1996 were committed against children. Thirty-three percent of these cases were incestuous. The cases came from the files of the government andnon-government organizations.
