Thematic Output

One of the main components of the Philippines' yearly 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women is the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9262). Together with the larger campaign, this legislation is essential in promoting prevention, increasing awareness, and offering assistance to victims of violence.


Republic Act No. 8353, also known as the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, and Republic Act No. 7877, known as the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, are two crucial pieces of legislation in the Philippines that aim to protect individuals from various forms of sexual violence and harassment. These laws have significantly impacted the legal landscape and societal understanding of these issues, contributing to a safer and more just environment for all. The Anti-Rape Law of 1997 was a landmark legislation that significantly expanded the definition of rape, reclassifying it as a crime against persons rather than a crime against chastity. This shift in perspective recognized the inherent violence and harm associated with rape, moving beyond the traditional focus on the victim's sexual integrity. The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995 addressed the issue of sexual harassment in both the workplace and educational environments. It aimed to create a safe and respectful environment for individuals, free from unwanted sexual advances and coercion.


Republic Act No. 11862, also known as the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2022, is a significant amendment to the original Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003 (RA 9208). This updated legislation strengthens the fight against human trafficking in the Philippines by addressing emerging forms of exploitation, expanding the scope of prohibited acts, and enhancing victim protection measures.

Reflection this 2nd quarter

 I gained a lot of information this quarter, especially in the area of technology. I concentrated on learning how to start and run a blog during the first quarter, and I've been using that ability ever since. My instructor's presentation of the fundamentals of HTML was one of the main subjects I studied. I studied fundamental elements that are necessary for organizing HTML documents, such as angle brackets (<>). I became acquainted with a variety of tags and their distinct purposes, which really improved my comprehension of web construction. I have looked at adding background colors to my articles to personalize their look. In addition to improving my technical proficiency, this ability inspired my creativity as I started to comprehend how design elements
