Scenario 1: Gender Based Violence / Sexual Harassment
Melanie has been hired to work as an office assistant for a new business in Zamboanga. After being on the job for about
a month, one day her supervisor told her that if she would spend the night with him, he would make sure she will be
promoted. She said she was not interested but he cornered her, twisted her arm behind her, and threatened to fire her if
she didn’t comply with his demands. Melanie was able to run away and tells her friends about the incident.
What is the issue?
What does the Philippine law
says about this type of
harassment?
Are you aware of any groups or
organizations that provide
services to women who have
been harassed?
 Scenario 2: Health and Safety at Work
Manny recently started working for a construction company. His supervisor told him that because he was so smart and
fit for the job, he did not need training in the use of the equipment. He would learn by doing instead. One day he was
trying to use a table saw that he had never used before. He cut himself badly on one of his hands, and it began to bleed
profusely, but he did not know where the first aid kit was located.
What is the issue?
What does the Philippine
law says about health and
safety at work?
How can such a situation
be prevented in the
future?
Scenario 3: Time Off from Work
Betsay, a young, single mother, had been working long hours at the restaurant. She hadn’t had a day off in over a month
and often worked 55 hours per week. One day her child became very sick with dengue so she called the restaurant to let
them know she could not come to work. Her boss was annoyed, murmuring that she will look for someone more reliable
than Betsay. Betsay became worried she was going to lose her job.
What is the issue?
What does the Philippine
law says about number of
work hours and time off?
How should Betsay handle
this situation?
