Realization

I realized that in today’s generation I feel limited, pressured, and as well as powered. Limited
because any of our actions as men can cause confusion to other genders, they often misinterpret the
actions we are displaying. We can also be limited with our emotions as men are stereotyped as ‘strong’
hence showing emotions are a sign of weakness. I often feel pressured most of the time since being the
oldest male sibling in our family I tend to carry most of the responsibilities in our homes, yet I only
receive little to none support on the things I need specially on my educational expenses, my sister gets all
the privileges despite being lazy. Although looking on the brighter side, I still feel empowered on doing
the things I want to do. Unlike my sister, I’m allowed to go anywhere at anytime without getting scolded.
Being a male, I conclude that there are more negative experiences I’ve been through rather than positive
ones, although experiences differ on any individual.

Directions: Write a News Report on RA9262
law on March 8, 2004. The law aims to protect women and their children
from domestic violence and abuse and provides legal remedies for victims
of such abuse. RA 9262 defines domestic violence as any act or a series of
acts committed by any person against a woman who is his wife, former
wife, or with whom the person has had a sexual or dating relationship, or
with whom he has a common child. The act of violence includes physical,
sexual, psychological, and economic abuse.

Under RA 9262, the victim has the right to file for a Temporary
Protection Order (TPO) which can prohibit the abuser from approaching or
communicating with the victim, or from entering the victim's residence or
workplace. The victim also has the right to file for a Permanent Protection
Order (PPO) which can prohibit the abuser from further acts of violence
and from threatening to commit such acts. RA 9262 also provides for the
arrest of the abuser without the need for a warrant if the victim files an
affidavit and a TPO has been issued by the court. This is known as the
"Barangay Protection Order (BPO)" which is issued by a barangay official,
usually the barangay captain, and it is effective for 15 days.

The law also provides for the prosecution of the abuser and the
imposition of penalties, which can range from imprisonment to fines. RA
9262 also provides for the protection of the rights of children who are
victims of or witnesses to domestic violence. In addition, the law also
requires the creation of Women and Children Protection Desks in all
barangays, police stations, and municipalities, and the establishment of
shelters for victims of domestic violence.
 Activity 4 Recommendation and Challenges

Directions: Give recommendations on how to lessen cases on RA7877 and your challenges.

Recommendations:

RA 7877, or the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, is a law in the

Philippines that prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace, education,
or training environment. Here are a few recommendations on how to
lessen cases of sexual harassment and address the challenges that may
arise in implementing the law:

1. Implement a comprehensive and mandatory sexual harassment training

program. This program should be provided to all employees and students
and should include information on what constitutes sexual harassment,
how to report it, and the consequences of engaging in such behavior.
2. Establish a clear and effective reporting and investigation process. This
process should be easy for victims to understand and access and should
include confidential reporting options. It should also ensure that
investigations are conducted in a timely and impartial manner, and that
appropriate actions are taken against those found guilty of sexual
harassment.
3. Encourage a culture of respect and inclusion. This can be achieved
through a variety of methods, including promoting diversity and
inclusion, fostering open communication, and encouraging zero-
tolerance ptowardowards sexual harassment.
4. Provide support and resources for victims. This can include counseling,
legal assistance, and other forms of support to help victims cope with the
aftermath of sexual harassment and to ensure that they are not further
victimized.
5. Hold individuals accountable for their actions. This means that those
found guilty of sexual harassment should be held accountable for their
actions, including disciplinary action and penalties as appropriate.

Challenges:

One of the main challenges in implementing RA 7877 is the lack of awareness and understanding of the law, both among
employees and employers. Many people may not be aware of their rights and responsibilities under the law or may not
know how to report or seek help for incidents of sexual harassment. Additionally, there is a lack of support and resources
available for victims, which can make it difficult for them to come forward and report incidents of sexual harassment.

Another challenge is the lack of enforcement of the law. Many employers and institutions may not take the necessary
steps to prevent and address sexual harassment, which can make it difficult to hold individuals accountable for their
actions.

It is also important to note that sexual harassment is a complex and multifaceted issue, and addressing it requires a
multi-faceted approach that includes legal, educational, and cultural efforts.

a. RA 10354 - Republic Act 10354, also referred to as the Responsible Parenthood and
Reproductive Health Act of 2012, is a law in the Philippines that aims to support responsible
parenting while also granting access to family planning tools and information, maternal and
child healthcare services, and other reproductive health services. One of the most important
sections of the law requires government health clinics to offer patients a wide selection of
family planning options, including both traditional and contemporary methods, at no
charge. The law also mandates that the government teach pupils in both public and private
schools about reproductive health in an age-appropriate manner. The overall goal of RA
10354 is to encourage responsible parenthood and reproductive health in the Philippines by
granting access to a variety of family planning tools and resources, maternal and child health
services, and other reproductive health services.
b. RA 9262 - The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004—also known as
Republic Act 9262—is a law in the Philippines that attempts to combat violence against
women and their children. The law defines violence against women and their children as any
act, or series of acts, committed by any person against a woman who is his wife, former
wife, or against a woman with whom he has or has had a sexual or dating relationship, or
with whom he has a common child, or against her child, whether legitimate or illegitimate,
inside or outside the family abode, which results in or is likely to result in physical, sexual,
psychological harm or suffering, or economic harm. The Philippine government has passed
RA 9262, a law that offers legal redress and harsh punishments for violent offenders in order
to safeguard women and children from harm. Additionally, it mandates that the victims
receive aid and support from federal, state, and local government entities.

c. RA 7877 - A law in the Philippines called Republic Act 7877, sometimes referred to as the
Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, attempts to combat sexual harassment in the
workplace and educational institutions. Sexual harassment is defined by law as any
unwelcome and persistent advances, requests for sexual favors, or other sexually explicit
language or behavior that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive atmosphere at work
or in a learning setting. The law further stipulates that anyone found guilty of sexual
harassment may face fines and jail as punishment. RA 7877 is a law that intends to
safeguard people against sexual harassment at work and in educational settings, especially
for women. Employers and educational institutions are required to have policies and
grievance procedures in place to address such situations and impose sanctions on those
found guilty of sexual harassment.

d. RA 11313 - The Safe Streets and Public Spaces Act of 2019—also known as Republic Act
11313—is a law in the Philippines that intends to combat violence, harassment, and
discrimination against women, children, and members of the LGBTQ+ community in public
areas. The term "harassment in public places" refers to any unwanted and unwelcome
sexual advances, remarks, gestures, actions, or attention that is directed at anyone in a
public place, regardless of the relationship between the offender and the offended party,
and that causes the offended party discomfort, embarrassment, or offense. RA 11313 is a
law that attempts to safeguard people from harassment, discrimination, and violence in
public places, especially for women, children, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. It
imposes punishments on individuals found guilty of committing such actions and calls for
local governments, businesses, and educational institutions to set up procedures, hotlines,
and other systems to address and stop such instances.
