HUMAN RIGHTS
RECORDING, ANALYSIS,
INFORMATION SYSTEM
AND ENFORCEMENT
(HuRAISE)
MANUAL
WHAT IS HuRAISE?

Is a human rights-centered data collecting system that would capture unique

and specific human rights (e.g. Right to Life, Right to Liberty; Right to Freedom of
Expression, etc) violations, the PNP deems it fitting and proper to adopt a monitoring
tool for the purpose. Dubbed as Human Rights Recording, Analysis, Information
System and Enforcement or “HuRAISE”, a tool which has the following features:
“Incident Data”; “Claimholder’s Data”; “Dutybearer’s Data; “Violation Data”; and
“Evidence Data”. It shall serve as template for generating the said data to be
filled out “manually” from the ground, with HR officers as collectors thereof.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HuRAISE?

Results of the data analysis on human rights cases will subsequently be a

major reference of the CPNP during press conferences or whenever PNP actions on
human rights issues are raised in international community. It is with the end in view
of making the HRAO as the sole repository of empirical data and statistical
interpretation on possible human rights violations useful for policy issuances,
procedures, law enforcement measures, and relevant domestic/international
functions of the PNP leadership. This mechanism is independent from and will
not take away the functions of DIDM and/or IAS to investigate
criminal/administrative cases of erring members of the agency.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HuRAISE?

The “HuRAISE” (HRAO Form 2020-01) shall serve as the basis for data
recording, collection and analysis of various human rights issues in the PNP and will,
thus, lead to supporting the empirical views of the PNP towards human rights with
facts, figures, and actual references. It will pave the way for strengthening the
mechanisms geared towards addressing the prevention and control of human rights
violations as a component of the PNP Human Rights Development Program.

It will serve as an institutional mechanism for generating empirical data on

human rights with corresponding analysis in order to address misconduct among
police personnel, with the end view of strengthening the PNP internal cleansing
program through adherence of the police to respect the rule of law, protect human
dignity, and face accountability for violations thereof.

OBJECTIVES:

The specific objectives of the IMPLAN are to:

a. To provide the CPNP with s readily available information as it serves as

empirical source of data collected and analyzed which will be used during
press conferences and international human rights functions.

b. To pave the way for the development of policies and guidelines for
immediate resolution of issues concerning human rights violations.
 c. To help in developing deeply the values of the personnel to respect, protect
and fulfill human rights in the performance of their duties.

d. To establish a stand-alone data gathering and monitoring mechanism on

human rights violations involving police personnel.

NOTICE: THIS FORM IS PART OF DATA MONITORING SYSTEM ON ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS COMMITTED BY PNP PERSONNEL. CONCERNED HUMAN RIGHTS OFFICERS
IN CONCERNED UNIT SHALL COORDINATE WITH INVESTIGATOR-ON-CASE TO ACCOMPLISH
THIS FORM.

The PNP-wide data on human rights violations generated accordingly

following the adoption of this Memorandum Circular Nr. 2020-060 shall be

public or media presentations or discourses without the approval or clearance from
the CPNP, or the Regional Director of Police Regional Office in case of regional
data, taking into consideration the relevant policy issuance on release of data to any
media outlets. Likewise, any personnel from any unit who releases data on human
rights violations without any authority shall be held administrative liable.

The filled-out forms containing the data on human rights violations shall be
stored properly in a secured cabinet by HROs. Likewise, a separate filing system
shall be maintained for encoded data on human rights violations using a computer
for exclusive use of the HROs. After the recording, HRO shall submit the form to
HRAO thru HRO channel on a periodic (monthly) basis. It is with the end in view of
making the HRAO as the sole repository of empirical data and statistical
interpretation on possible human rights violations useful for policy issuances,
procedures, law enforcement measures, and relevant domestic/international
functions of the PNP leadership.

CLAIMHOLDER’S DATA
FEMALE
MALE
LGBTQ

-LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or

questioning. These terms are used to describe a person’s sexual orientation or
gender identity. (source: Gaycenter.org)

LESBIAN
A woman whose enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to other
women. Some lesbians may prefer to identify as gay or as gay women.

GAY
The adjective used to describe people (used especially of a man) whose enduring
physical, romantic, and/or emotional attractions to people of the same sex.
Sometimes lesbian is the preferred term for women.

BISEXUAL
A person who has the capacity to form enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional
attractions to those of the same gender or to those of another gender. People may
experience this attraction in differing ways and degrees over their lifetime. Bisexual
people need not have had specific sexual experiences to be bisexual; in fact, they
need not have had any sexual experience at all to identify as bisexual.

TRANSGENDER
An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs
from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth. People
under the transgender umbrella may describe themselves using one or more of a
wide variety of terms including transgender. Many transgender people are prescribed
hormones by their doctors to bring their bodies into alignment with their gender
identity. Some undergo surgery as well. But not all transgender people can or will
take those steps, and a transgender identity is not dependent upon physical
appearance or medical procedures.

QUEER
An adjective used by some people, particularly younger people, whose sexual
orientation is not exclusively heterosexual. Typically, for those who identify as queer,
the terms lesbian, gay, and bisexual are perceived to be too limiting and/or fraught
with cultural connotations they feel don’t apply to them. Some people may use
queer, or more commonly genderqueer, to describe their gender identity and/or
gender expression. Once considered a pejorative term, queer has been reclaimed by
some LGBT people to describe themselves; however, it is not a universally accepted
term even within the LGBT community.

QUESTIONING
Sometimes, when the Q is seen at the end of LGBT, it can also mean questioning.
This term describes someone who is questioning their sexual orientation or gender
identity. (source: Gaycenter.org)
