Study Notes
Implementation and Enforcement of Republic Act 9263
Introduction
Republic Act (RA) 9263, also known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act, aims to protect citizens from domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other forms of gender-based violence. Upon its passage in 2004, several measures were implemented to ensure its successful enforcement and execution.
Key Provisions
Sec. 13 outlines the implementation process for RA 9263, stating that its implementation must be completed within three years and that the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), the Department of Finance (DOF), and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) would work together to establish necessary rules and guidelines.
Rules and Regulations
Within ninety days of the law's enactment, the Department of Finance was tasked with creating rules and regulations to enforce the new act. These regulations, along with others developed collaboratively by the BFP, BJMP, DILG, and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), aim to support the professionalization of the BFP and the BJMP, and help prevent violence against women and their children.
Review and Adjustments
Every five years, the Department of Budget and Management needs to review and adjust the salaries and benefits provided to firefighters and jail wardens, considering factors like labor productivity, consumer prices, oil prices, and various economic indicators.
Separation of Powers
In case any part of the bill is declared unconstitutional, the rest of the Act remains unaffected. Additionally, all existing laws conflicting with the new law are automatically voided.
Publication and Effectiveness
RA 9263 became effective fifteen days after its complete publication in the Official Gazette or in at least two newspapers of general circulation, depending on whichever came first.
Conclusion
Implementation and enforcement of RA 9263 have been structured to involve multiple government departments, ensuring comprehensive efforts towards protecting women and children from violence. The Act mandates key stakeholders such as the Department of Finance to create necessary rules and regulations, while also allowing for regular reviews and adjustments to cater to changing economic conditions.
