The proposal adds new penalties—imprisonment, fines, job loss, and possible deportation—for gender‑based sexual harassment in workplaces and schools, and it also punishes public officials who encourage such behavior with fines, suspension or dismissal, training, and a required public apology. Agencies such as the DILG and CSC must issue rules to enforce these measures, and the law takes effect 15 days after official publication.
