Did it only do it the one time. You reversed and then applied the brakes? then this noise occured and only occured this one time? or did you start to move forward and then continued after braking for a couple of times forward? If it only happened the one time, most likely just a moisture build up on the pads and rotors. If it continued on while driving, then pads are needed.
As for squealers you should here those scrapping and squealing while driving, then noise go away when braking ('cause you are applying pressure to them against the rotors). But when that noise goes away after scrapping for a bit, the squealers have broken off the pads and everything is not ok, if no way worse.

Jack the car, remove your rims, then manually turn the rotor and listen for noise.
You'll know exactly where it's coming from, then investigate.
A common problem is the small metal clips that hold the pads get bent and start to grind against the rotor.
You should be able to visually inspect the pads through the hole in the caliper, I'd do that before anything else.

LOL
ok you reversed and hit the brakes...
now we study the physics of this event... yes you have to do this... where did the wieght go when you were braking and which pads were doing the work... well when your going forward the wieght goes to the front when you brake and when your in reverse it goes to the back... wieght going to the back ... means rear brakes doing most of the work for that event... check the rear brakes therefore....

Forgot about the reverse part 
My advice then becomes: "don't inhale any asbestos if you want to keep your lungs for a lifetime" Drums are a pain in the *** to deal with. Good luck finding out which spring or shoe is squeeking

My Hayne's manual excplicitely says that asbestos is in use in the Honda braking system. Anyone using old brakes will likely have that crap in their brakes. For EF and EG owners, you can never be too careful I guess.
Good observation though

now it is happenin always when i drive and sometimes not when im braking, i think the poads are gone and the screeching is happening because the rotor is being touched bare metal? the noise is so annoying and i think there is something wrong

after the rotor has cooled off, rub around the inside of the rotor with your finger - feel if its scored...If it is, then new pads are in order...after you take out the pads, inspect the caliper to make sure its not siezed...I doubt it!... but just in case.
new rotors and pads will fix this problem!
