Is sexual harassment in the workplace still existing in Philippines?
there is an existing law already, which is republic act 7877 -the anti sexual harassment act, though there are still flaws and improvement is being developed.The penalty is I think at the maximum as of now is php 20,000 if convicted and less than 2 years imprisonment.But one can claim more for moral damages. another case related to this would be the revised penal code article 336-or acts of lasciviousness which is penalized for up to 7 years. the latest law against gender is the republic act 9262 which is the anti violence against women and children, and this pertains especially to even those in relationship whether co workers or not. as there is usually no evidence and the boss usually is with moral ascendancy, they can get co workers to witness for them and have the case dropped.
