The Municipality of Masantol proudly announces the approval of Municipal Ordinance No. 2026-005, Series of 2026, also known as the βVAWC Desk Officers Institutionalization Ordinance of the Municipality of Masantol, Pampanga.β
This ordinance strengthens the protection of women and children by institutionalizing the designation of qualified Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Desk Officers in every barangay.
Through this measure, every barangay shall have a designated VAWC Desk Officer who will assist in receiving complaints, providing immediate support, ensuring confidentiality, documenting cases, and coordinating with the MSWDO, PNP, health offices, and other concerned agencies.
The ordinance also provides support mechanisms, including capacity-building activities, technical assistance, logistical support, referral systems, and a monthly honorarium for designated Barangay VAWC Desk Officers, subject to existing rules and availability of funds.
This is another step toward a safer, more responsive, and more protective community for women and children in Masantol.
Para sa mas ligtas, mas maayos, at mas makataong paglilingkod para sa bawat MasantoleΓ±o.
