Abstract
Violence against women appear to be one of the country’s pervasive problems. According to the 2017 National Demographic and Health Survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority, one in every four Filipino women age 15 to 49 has experienced domestic violence and despite the efforts to put an end to the issue, VAW persist. This study provides an in-depth and intensive account about the experiences of woman victim of domestic violence in Samar. From the interview conducted, results revealed four themes: sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, and economic abuse. The welfare of the children is always the mothers’ priority. Thus, despite the abuse experienced, women stay in the relationship in the hope that the relationship can be saved for the sake of the children.
