Online sexual harassment
Online harassment is defined by the law as the
“use of information and communication technology in
terrorizing and intimidating victims through physical,
psychological, and emotional threats.”
Forms of online sexual harassment
and penalties for each are as follows:
l Unwanted sexual misogynistic, transphobic,
homophobic, and sexist remarks and comments
online whether publicly or through direct and private
messages
l Invasion of victim’s privacy through cyberstalking
and incessant messaging
l Uploading and sharing without the consent of the
victims, any form of media that contains photos, voice,
or video with sexual content
l Unauthorized recording and sharing of any of the
victim’s photos, videos, or any information online
l Impersonating identities of victims online or
posting lies about victims to harm their reputation
l Filing false abuse reports to online platforms to
silence victims
Penalty
— 2 years, 4 months, and 1 day to 4 years and 2 months
in prison or P100,000 to P500,000-fine, or both
— The law puts the Philippine National Police’s
Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNPACG) in charge of
apprehending violators. The PNPACG must develop
an online mechanism for reporting, in “real time,”
gender-based online sexual harassment.
— Sexual harassment in workplaces, educational
institutions
The act defines sexual harassment in workplaces
this way: “An act or series of acts involving any
unwelcome sexual advances, requests or demand for
sexual favors or any act of sexual nature, whether done
verbally, physicall or through the use of technology
such as text messaging or electronic mail or through
any other forms of information and communication
systems, that has or could have detrimental effect
on the conditions of an individual’s employment or
education, job performance or opportunities.”
It also includes unwanted conduct of sexual
nature or conduct based on sex affecting the dignity of
a person.
Employers and other persons of authority
must prevent or punish these acts, says the law.
Among actions they must pursue is the creation
of an independent internal committee to address
complaints and investigate them. The committee
should be headed by a woman and must be at least
half composed of women.
The same responsibility is placed on the
shoulders of school heads for sexual harassment in
educational and training institutions.

ALA pang isang linggong natapos ang mediacon para sa book 3 ng seryeng Kadenang Ginto
Wkung saan napag-usapan ang memes ni Dimples Romana bilang si Daniella Mondragon ay
may bagong good news na naman ang aktres para sa kanyang fans and followers. Dahil nga sa mga
viral memes ni Dimples as Daniela sa Kadenang Ginto kung saan ibinandera ng mga netizens ang
“pagpunta” niya sa kung saan-saang parte ng Pilipinas at maging sa ibang bansa ay binigyan ng
bagong “assignment” ang aktres. Sa panayam sa kanya ni MJ Felipe para sa Bandila nabanggit ni
Dimples na payag siyang makipag-collaborate sa Department of Tourism at willing siyang maging
endorser ng ahensya para sa pagpo-promote ng turismo sa bansa. Biro pa nga ni Dimples may extra
pa siyang limang pulang damit. Napanood pala ni DOT Sec. Bernadette Romulo-Puyat at ni-repost
ang panayam ni Dimples sa kanyang Instagram account nitong Lunes. Aniya sa caption, “In a recent
interview, both Ms. @dimplesromana and Ms. @beauty_gonzalez mentioned the Department of
Tourism because of their memes that are now trending. “We will be more than happy to welcome
Dimples and Beauty to be part of the fun! Thank you for being our volunteer tourism ambassadors
and congratulations on going viral! #DaniGurl #itsmorefuninthephilippines.” At nito ngang Hulyo
8 ay dinalaw ni Dimples ang Kalihim ng DOT sa opisina nito. Base pa rin sa post ni Ms. Puyat,

Kaso ni Kris kay Falcis binasura sa Manila
inasura ng Manila prose cutor ang kasong isinampa na qualified theft at access device
Bfraud ni Kris Aquino laban kay Nicko Falcis kamakailan. Matatandaang naghain ng reklamo
na 44 counts si Aquino na qualified theft at violation of access device regulation act of 1998 sa iba’t
ibang lungsod sa Metro Manila kay Falcis. Ang mga kasong iyon ay nagsasabing nagnakaw umano
si Falcis ng P1,270,980.31 via credit card transactions gamit ang pera ng KCAP (kompanya ni Kris).
Sa Manila, Quezon City, Taguig City, Makati City, San Juan City, Pasig City at Mandaluyong City
ang pitong lungsod kung saan nakahain ang reklamong isinampa ni Kris laban kay Falcis.
Base sa statement na nakasaad sa reklamo ni Kris sa Manila, diumano ay gumastos si Falcis ng
total na P49,584.00 credit card tran sactions na walang pahintulot. Ayon naman sa resolution ng
nasabing reklamo, “complainant failed to establish the personal property that was supposedly
unlawfully taken by respondent (Nicko) from complainant or from KCAP.” Ibig sabihin ay hindi
sapat ang ebidensya para patunayan ang akusasyon laban kay Nicko. Noong Abril ay nabasura
naman sa Quezon City ang kasong isinampa na grave threats ni Nicko laban kay Kris.
Angel Locsin, Neil Arce engaged na!

Arce na agad ibinalita ng dalaga sa kanyang fans and followers. Unang ipinost ni Angel sa IG ang
litrato ng kanyang kamay suot ang engagement ring habang blurred naman ang itsura ni Neil na
nakatayo at nakataas ang dalawang kamay. May caption itong: “Surprise of my life.” Sa second
photo naman, makikita si Angel na suot pa rin ang engagement ring habang nakaharap sa kanyang
future husband. Dito nga niya inilagay ang caption na: “I said YES (heart emoji).” Sa ikatlong photo
naman ay may pa-kissing scene na ang dalawa. Makikita si Angel sa picture na nakataas ang kamay
kung saan nakasuot ang singsing habang nakaturo naman ang daliri ni Neil sa daliri ni Angel kung
saan nakasuot ang ibinigay niyang engagement ring. Sa isang post naman ni Neil, makikita ang
blurred photo nila ni Angel kung saan hawak niya ang diamond ring. Caption niya sa litrato, “Excuse
me miss… I have a question…” Hanggang sa mag-YES na nga si Angel sa kanya at tanggapin ang
kanyang proposal. Sa sumunod na post ni Neil ito na ang kanyang caption: “Thank you for allowing
me to be with you, take care of you and most of all love you for the rest of my life.” Bumaha naman
ng positive feedbacks at “congratulations” sa IG accounts nina Angel at Neil. Kabilang sa mga
celebrities na agad-agad pinusuan ang engagement ng dalawa ay sina Vice Ganda, Bea Alonzo, Lovi
Poe, Boy2 Quizon, Yasmien Kurdi, Raymond Gutierrez, Barbie Imperial, Maris Racal, Andrea Torres,
Jerald Napoles, Coleen Garcia at marami pang iba.
Lauren Young, inireklamo ang “Chinese-only” policy ng isang restaurant
binahagi ni Lauren Young, aktres at kapatid ni Megan Young na Miss World 2013, ang “For

ibinenta na ang establisyemento sa isang Chinese businessman at kinuwestiyon niya ang legality
ng restaurant. Sa kaniyang tweet, ipinahayag niya rin na kung magkakaroon siya ng restaurant ay
para lamang sa mga Pilipino. “Is this even legal? (My fave resto in Subic has been sold and this sign

Consumer Protection and Advocacy Bureau ang kaniyang concern. Umani naman ang post na ito
ng reaksyon mula sa mga netizen at sinabing mayroon ding iba pang restaurant sa Manila na ganito
rin ang policy. Samantala, binago rin ang nakalagay sa signage at pinalitan ng “Correction! We also

nadakip sa buy-bust sinabi ng management ng grupo na hindi totoong miyembro nila ang babae.
Isang Sheena Joana Roño Uypico ang inaresto sa Laguna at tinukoy ito sa mga balita na miyembro
ng isang popular na dance group. May ibang media outlets naman ang nagbalita na ang naaresto
ay si Sheena Flores de Castro at ginamit ang larawan ng sexbomb member sa kanilang balita. Sa
pamamagitan ng Instagram stories, nilinaw ni Sheena na hindi siya ang babaeng naaresto dahil
nasa Amerika siya ngayon. Si Sexbomb Sheena, ay isa na palang flight attendant at may pamilya na
sa Amerika. Nagulat din si De Castro nang makita ang mga balita na nagsasabing siya ay nadakip.
Umapela ang management ng dance group na iberipika muna ang ulat bago isapubliko. Bunsod
nito, pina-plano ngayon ni Sheena na kumuha ng legal advice sa insidente. Si Sheena ay naging
miyembro ng Sexbomb Girls mula 2008 hanggang 2011.
