Are you afraid of your wife? Does she verbally abuse you, or critizice you and you never do anything right. Does she beat you up if you are late in coming home? Does she threaten you with violence? You may be a battered husband.
Are you willing to come out in the open? Please do, Republic Act 9262 has to be amended to include the protection of men from violence aside from women and children.
Most of you suffer in silence. Why ? Are you ashamed that you married an abuser. Do not be. SPEAK OUT NOW. ACCORDING TO ONE FILIPINO CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, who interviewed victims of abuse nationwide, for every two(2) battered women, there is one(1) battered man. The psychologist said perhaps the violence we see in our society from men, partly reflects that they suffer in silence because of the supposed MACHO IMAGE. A MACHO MAN does not cry, does not show his weakness , his vulnerability. Personally , if a man cries, he is a real man. He is not afraid to show his hurts, his emotions. If you allow the abuse to continue, you increase the tension and conflict in your personal life.
Dear Doctor, could the number of strokes and heart attack in our society be reflective of this hidden abuse , aside from wrong lifestyle choices. Conflict resolution and training ourselves to resolve conflict properly and civilly should be part of everyones upbringing. SPEAK OUT BATTERED MEN. A MACHO MAN SPEAKS OUT HIS HURTS, HIS FEELINGS , HIS ASPIRATIONS AND CONFRONTS HIS PROBLEMS NOT RUN AWAY FROM THEM.

Posted by Terry at November 9, 2006, 6:26 pmDear Mr. Adrian Ordonez Sison,
I am Erin Joan C. Yang from Reporter’s Notebook and I saw your book on battered men in the Philippines. May I ask if I can ask some information on this topic from you. Also, you might know some cases that we can interview in the show, provided that we will not show their faces and real names. We will be doing a story on this, which will air on March 10, and I hope I can get your response soon.
You may contact me at 0919-6272996
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Erin Joan C. Yang

RA 9262 repealed or amended, that’s ok. But right now my call is to scrap it totally. Hope you can give me a copy of the docu Tina of GMA made. It will be very interesting to post in in my blog and here.
Posted by yolak69 at March 29, 2009, 3:59 ami am victim of this law (ra9262) as well. the woman (my wife. naku! ang sakit sa tenga ko to call that woman “my wife”) sued me and and deprive me of seeing my children by filing for a TPO although the children are already more than 7 years old and i have not done any harm to the children. It was because of an accidental headbutt between us that she filed violence against her using ra9262. the start of the feud was even caused by her not coming home for more than a month. anyway, to keep this commentary short, my conscience is clear that i am not the culprit to my case although i am being incarcerated. i would like to help in having this “incredulous” law (ra9262) be totally “scrapped”. i am in davao city. please tell me how i could help. thanks.

It takes courage for battered men to come out. Kudos to those who responded . You know who you are. Seek counselling, including anger management.To psychologists and psychiatrists who read this are men able to say that there is a battered men syndrome?
