The government vowed to study a United Nations (UN) panel report that found the Philippines’ failure to compensate the comfort women. The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said this after the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) reported that the Philippines failed to assist the Malaya Lolas in filing claims against Japan. In a statement, the PCO said the government noted CEDAW's views and said it recognizes the suffering of Filipino women during World War II. "The government of the Philippines recognizes the suffering of female victims of atrocious violations that occurred during the Second World War," it said. "In this regard, we note that some reparations have been made, and the Supreme Court has adjudicated on the matter," it added. According to the PCO, the government is committed to promoting women's rights and would look into the report and submit a response. "The government of the Philippines remains fully committed to women's rights pursuant to its international human rights obligations and national laws and jurisprudence," it said. "We will study the View of the Committee and submit a written response to the Committee within the time frame of six months, as provided for under the Optional Protocol to the CEDAW," it added. The CEDAW recommended that the complainants receive from the State party "full reparation, including recognition and redress, an official apology and material and moral damages" for the "continuous discrimination that they suffered and restitution, rehabilitation, and satisfaction, including the restoration of their dignity and reputation." This includes financial reparation proportionate to the physical, psychological, and material damage the comfort women suffered and the gravity of the violations of their rights.
