00:29Thank you very much.
00:30Thank you very much.
01:09Thank you very much.
01:24Thank you very much.
02:01Okay, so basically, equal access, equal opportunities.
02:05In terms of hiring, hindi mo pwedeng tanggihan yung babae sa pagtaggap mo sa employment just because of her gender.
02:12Okay.
02:13Bakalawa, in terms of promotion, hindi mo siya pwedeng tanggihan na i-promote dahil babae siya or maaaring buntis siya.
02:18So, ito yung mga klase na mga violation or discrimination.
02:22In terms of promotion or in terms of giving them leadership roles, hindi mo sila i-consider just because babae
02:28sila.
02:29Kundi, titignan mo yung kakayahan at hindi yung kasarian ng tao sa pag-promote sa trabaho.
02:34Okay, so ibig sabihin may discrimination if that will happen.
02:52Mayroong discrimination, yes.
02:53Dapat yung kakayahan ng tao magiging basis mo in order for you to be promoted in sa trabaho mo.
03:00Hindi yung kasarian niya, dahil babae siya, hindi mo na siya ipopromote dun sa trabaho niya.
03:05In other words, same standards, same evaluation standards should be given or should be provided.
03:10What are the different benefits our workplace support, our workplace support,
03:15ang dapat ibigay sa mga kababaihan according to Magna Carta of Women?
03:19We're talking about also maternity leave, flexible hours, safe working conditions.
03:24Tell us more.
03:24So meron tayong maternity leave.
03:26So we have expanded maternity leave benefits.
03:29Ito yung normally 105 days yung binibigay na maternity leave mo.
03:33And it can be extended kung ikaw is solo parent.
03:36And it also can be extended without pay depending on the condition.
03:40That's one.
03:41Second is we can have also safe working environment.
03:44So meron tayong ditong yung Safe Spaces Act, yung anti-bastos law.
03:48To prevent sexual harassment.
03:50So under sa batas na ito, dapat yung mga companies or yung kung saan ka nagtatabaho,
03:54magkakaroon ng committee on investigation and decorum kung nakakaroon ng sexual harassment in the workplace.
04:01Okay.
04:02You've also talked about the Banta Anti-Bastos Law Safe Spaces Act.
04:07But recently, nagkaroon ng issue with a house from the House of Representatives, one of the representatives,
04:14specifically from Quezon City, that mentioned about an artist, Ann Curtis.
04:20Okay.
04:20And how she made remarks about what is about his feelings or initial feelings towards seeing this woman.
04:30And I understand also there was a statement released by Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte about this.
04:36And we're also talking about Magna Carta of Women.
04:38We're also talking about National Women's Month.
04:41What are your thoughts on this, attorney?
04:43So very timely, yung issue na yun.
04:45Kasi of course, March is considered to be the National Women's Month.
04:49And yung Quezon City, very passionate na advocate yan.
04:53Oo.
04:54And gender equality.
04:56Very progressive.
04:56Very progressive.
04:57In fact, we have a gender development code in Quezon City.
05:00Na isa sa mga proponent nito ay, or proponents nito, ay yung nagsalitang representative.
05:07Yes, I heard.
05:09So basically, kung you make unwanted remarks against a gender, regardless of your motive,
05:16covered yun yung batas na anti-bastos law.
05:19Ano ang pwedeng, I mean, what could be the legal proceedings on this in any cases?
05:25That someone has to file a case, or is it just going to be like,
05:30people will talk about it on social media and will die after,
05:33or is it something that people should look forward na dapat din na mangyari ulit to,
05:36and someone has to be accountable for remarks like this?
05:40Yes, under the anti-bastos laws, or Safe Spaces Act,
05:43mayroong criminal liability pag nag-violate ka ng mga acts, or recommended acts.
05:50At mas malagi at nakapag-public official.
05:52Yes, pag-public official.
05:53And of course, yung accountability mo, and of course, you should be a role model.
05:58So, at ikaw dapat yung sumusunod sa batas,
06:00lalo na kung isa ka sa mga tao na gumawa at nag-uproba doon sa batas.
06:04Okay, looking forward for National Women's Month,
06:07we're talking about Magna Carta of Women.
06:09What could be the application na pwede ng mga kababaihan ngayon
06:14para mas magamit pa nila itong Magna Carta of Women?
06:17Kasi, I think while these are existing,
06:19some women are not aware that this is actually existing.
06:23Yes.
06:23That they can use this, especially in their workplace,
06:26especially when someone is making discriminatory or objectification remarks.
06:31So, ano pwedeng gawin na, Tori?
06:32May gawin kang mga pwedeng gawin.
06:34May mga legal options ka.
06:36But of course, ang kailangan mong gawin, you have to document everything.
06:39Second is, kung nagtatabaho ka sa isang company,
06:42yung mga companies, they should have a committee on decorum and investigation.
06:47Ito yung committee na mag-handle in cases of sexual harassment
06:50and in case of non-discrimination.
06:52Okay.
06:53And of course, you can file cases before the DOLE, Department of Labor and Employment,
06:58Iconoso Government, Civil Service.
07:00And you can also file cases before the courts or the prosecutor's office
07:04in case of criminal violations ng mga batas.
07:07So, madami kang kakapataan, madami kang legal options.
07:10Okay.
07:10Let's not name names, but as a practitioner attorney,
07:13could you give us some instances na kung saan you've handled cases
07:20that very worst case scenarios for your women?
07:23Sa akin?
07:24Labor cases.
07:25Okay.
07:26Okay.
07:26Mayroong mga kliyente kami napupunta sa office,
07:29sasabihin nila, they were terminated.
07:31Okay.
07:32Kung malalaman mo, ikikwento nila,
07:34makikita mo na they were terminated because...
07:36Unlawful.
07:37Unlawful.
07:38Okay.
07:38Illegal dismissal.
07:39Mm-hmm.
07:39Dahil bunti sila.
07:41So, in other words, bawal yun.
07:43Nangyayari pa rin pa rin.
07:44Nangyayari yun.
07:44Very conventional.
07:46Oo.
07:46Dahil bunti sila, so either ayaw silang bigyan,
07:50syempre pagka buntis, magkaka maternity leave ka.
07:52So, mawawala ka sa company,
07:54mabayaran din naman yun ng company initially.
07:57So, it will affect the operations.
07:58E malalaman mo, kaya pala talaga tinanggal,
08:00eh dahil buntis yung empleyado.
08:02Well, considering that this country,
08:04I must say, personally,
08:05is very patriarchal.
08:07The president is a man.
08:08The member of the church,
08:10the head of the church is a man.
08:12They say that the head of the family is a man.
08:14So, very patriarchal.
08:15Pero, when it comes to cases like this,
08:17attorney, may mga kababayan,
08:19kasi parang sabi nako,
08:20parang ayoko na lumaban,
08:21talo, kasi babae ako.
08:22On your cases,
08:24kumusta?
08:25When it comes to the results,
08:28or the verdict afterwards,
08:30nananalo ba ang mga kababayan
08:31on cases like this?
08:32Yes, yung nananalo,
08:33kasi madami tayong batas,
08:34at clear naman yung batas.
08:35At maganda ngayon,
08:36nagiging aware yung mga tao
08:37na madami tayong batas
08:39in order to promote equality.
08:41So, meron kang kagapatan,
08:43meron tayong batas,
08:44at na-implement naman itong mga batas
08:46in order to protect women.
08:48Okay.
