17 senators OK bill prohibiting gender preferences in employment ads

MANILA, Philippines - Seventeen senators have signed a committee report on similar bills filed by Senate President Pro-Tempore Jinggoy Estrada and Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago banning the specification of gender preference in job advertisements.

The consolidated bill says the practice is an act of gender discrimination. It seeks the prohibition of printing, circulation or publication of any statement indicating hiring preference based on ***. Santiago noted that Article II Section 14 of the Constitution provides for the fundamental equality of the ***es.

“Discrimination by reason of *** is usually effected by subtle and elusive means, especially in employment advertising,” Santiago said.
Any exemption to the provisions of the bill would have to come from the Department of Labor and Employment.

Violation would result in the imposition of a fine of not less than P10,000 or imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the court.

another useless law in my opinion.

so what kung hindi ilagay ang gender preference sa job ads?

eh kung sa cv screening naman eh pwedeng piliin kung anong gender ang preference nung hiring manager/employer.

geez... our tax money is not being used wisely.

Another pointless and soon forgotten law......... that will be used to harass some future company.
