March 11, 2015
In another incident, respondent called her in his office and scolded her and uttered
the following unsavory remarks:
Eh ayoko na sa iyo. Hindi mo sinabi sa akin na may anak ka! Nasaan na ang tatay ng
anak mo? Wala na? Ano pang hindi mo sinasabi sa akin, may boyfriend ka? Akala ko
pa naman ok ka, kaya nga sinabihan kita dati na sumabay ka sa akin! Ang daming
nagrereklamo sa iyo dito. Hindi ka marunong makisama. Makisama ka naman! Paano
na kung alisin ka dito, makakabalik ka pa ba sa dati mong opisina? Eh ayoko talaga sa
iyo dito. Ano? Do you have a choice? Alam mo ba na ako ang nagrekomenda kay Eva
diyan sa Admin. kay Chairman. Kaya ka nakapasok dito dahil pakiusap ka lang [ni] Eva
sa akin. Alam mo bang nakasalalay dito and posisyon mo dito? Alam mo bang kung
ano mo ako dito? Ha? Ano mo ako dito? xxx Ano ngayon ang gagawin natin eh ayoko
nga sa iyo? Anong gagawin natin ngayon?

2. Groping
Respondent would oftentimes tell her that "nakakagigil ang batok mo, "
and "masuwerte ka type kita, yung iba may gusto sa akin di ko type.”
Respondent would also pinch her at her side close to her bust and
when they met at the corridors respondent would make a motion as
though he would embrace her.

That respondent threatened not to renew her casual appointment if she will
report him

YOLANDA FLORALDE, et al. Vs. Paulino Resma
G.R. No. 123048. August 8, 2000
That every time she fills her glass with water in the bathroom, respondent
would follow and grabbed her butt telling her that he likes big butts
Guilty. All three women would not prevaricate at the mere urging of
Atty. Ola. Filing a charge for sexual harassment is not a trivial matter.
It entails having to go public with an incident that one is trying to
forget. It means opening oneself to public ridicule and scrutiny. We,
therefore, can not believe the version of the defense that the charges
were all fabricated.
-He called her to his Office and asked personal questions. He even
gave money to Domingo.
-Rayala asked Domingo “may ka-live in ka na ba? When she
said no, he said “Bakit malaki ang balakang mo?
Argument of Respondent:
- giving of grades
-granting of honors or scholarship
- payment of a stipend or allowance

Is he correct?
DIOSCORO F. BACSIN vs. EDUARDO WAHIMAN, G.R. No. 146053 April 30, 2008
No. The CSC found, as did the CA, that even without an explicit
demand from petitioner, his act of mashing the breast of AAA was
sufficient to constitute sexual harassment. Moreover, under
Section 3 (b) (4) of RA 7877, sexual harassment in an education or
training environment is committed (w)hen the sexual advances
result in an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment for the
student, trainee or apprentice. AAA even testified that she felt fear
at the time respondent touched her.
