moral and ethical standards , that each individual should be essentially aware. A working place should be
humane for it to give harmonious working outcome . The avoidance of such action that contribute to
harassment among the employers and co-workers is a must and should be well observed whether the
harassment is in the form of , physical , emotional , mental, social most particularly through sexual
means. Its psychological effects inflicted the mind among the workers and may result to worst scenarios
that maybe derived , if either of the personnel commits such unlawful action against his/her co-worker.
Workers of the institution must/should be vested with adequate knowledge and social skills.
They, as workers must ordain themselves about what are the precautionary measures to be taken ,if in
case they are being jeopardized because of harassment. They must know their rights, actions to be taken
and necessary guidelines upon working in a particular working institution. She/he must undergo further
orientations about the policy and the appropriate behavior including ethics to be displayed while at work .
Nowadays the pervasiveness of sexual harassment in the working places continuous to reign and ruin
lives.
The Magna Carta for Women and anti-Sexual harassment act, anti-rape act and Women and child
protection act incorporated to protect the rights among the women in the Philippines against violence and
dehumanization. Furthermore the rights of everybody should be vivid among themselves in order for
them to take the correct actions against their offender. The thing that the rights engender among all the
stakeholders is that , better engagement to others results good moral practice among the working sites .

each individual in the working community should act and take primary action against harassment etc.

Me as a Prospective Movement Practitioner
A practitioner like me should have a profound knowledge to the content . Why? Its
because I am a primal mover of the learners knowledge, skill and moral acquisition . Adequate
knowledge suffice learners doubts and misconceptions about the world. They must be fed with accurate
information and practical skill for them to become life-long learners. The knowledge of the content in the
first place , is my framework towards the transfusion of knowledge and other sophisticated matter that
relates to good threshold of learning and teaching . It is therefore as a teacher /multifaceted individual
your ways and methodologies should be viable for the betterment of the curriculum. Those
aforementioned features as a practitioner must be internalized and actualized by the teachers to be like me
Example to this is the teacher teaching all the core subjects of the curricula. So as a teacher I
should be resilient of my knowledge since my concern is pointed to various foci. As a teacher I am
functioning as well multi-tasking , multi-functioning and other multitude functions of the teacher that I
must portray with ease and dedication .The students can perceive your adroitness as an expert of the
classroom , Such instances that if you lack the knowledge of the content I have taught to them. They
might feel the confusion and hesitation of the context you are trying to engraved in their mind . Thats
why aside from being the person with authority I should be knowledgeable of the content for me to be
reliable of what I am teaching to them. To alleviate the standards of teaching and learning the concept to
them, the context of learner centered environment is of great advantage for them to become real life
learners. A practitioner aims to develop learners to become holistically developed individuals. A
practitioner like me should be updated of the latest trend in teaching for me to upgrade my teaching ways.
Because a part of teachers knowledgeable approach towards the content is his/her methods, skills and
ways towards the content being taught. The concept of accentuating the teaching learning process
involves mainly to the teachers ways with pious dedication and primal learners involvement for the

achievement of learning and teaching goal of the curriculum. The design valuing the curricular standards
are to program the creating the stakeholders of it globally competitive skillful and resourceful .
One of the good examples of enlightening the teaching learning process is the utilization of
social/constructivism/ problem based learning program as a primary curriculum to be used in order to
hone the knowledge , skill and moral of the learners . The enormous impact of such among the teachers
are the efficacy and effectiveness of the devices towards the advocate of promoting constructivism and
its relative approach towards better learning and teaching practice . As a practitioner my methods should
help to offshoot their acquisition of essential skills for them to manage their learning single handedly as
they are to engage in variety of tasks at their future intervention. Because of my wide scope of
knowledge as a teacher my way of varying my teaching is at ease . I can say that knowledge is my
framework towards teaching success. Knowledge of the content aided me to become a well-equipped
teacher to propel teaching learning practice at good pace. Despite of the vicissitudes in the curricular
practices , there are still voluminous ways that the teacher to be like me can use just to ensure that the
knowledge transfusion is positive , prosperous and successful. The improvement of the teaching learning
process depends on the teachers ways, learners interest, effective and efficient implementation of
approaches and resourcefulness of both teacher and the learners . Such aspiration towards learning
progression is of great stake in the learning and application of the theories and context found in the
curriculums content. Learning acquisition delves in good upbringing of teachers methods and style in
teaching . The virtue of the true teaching is the uncorrupted practices portrayed by the good contemporary
teachers . The assurance of teaching with moral transcends teaching beyond the texts and theories. A
practitioner should therefore have sufficient knowledge to prior the moral and skill foundation
development since again knowledge is the framework for the formation of other relative developed skill
that should be acquired .Furthermore the views of other contexts aside from constructivism is a thing that
should be given attention for the learners to inquest more practical approaches and methods to hone

their respective skills. A practitioner is the vector of all the virtue that should be modeled before the
leaning stakeholders. Thats why for better teaching learning you should set yourself as a paragon of
knowledge , authority and orderliness. The assurance of attaining such target is not totally 100 percent
thats why contingencies should be given prior account upon teaching and learning. It is for the purpose
of anticipating unforeseen eventualities that may happen during teaching learning processing.
Another example is the situation of what precautionary measure to be taken if the teacher is
bombarded of parents complaints regarding to his/her sons/daughters grades . A knowledgeable
teacher will confront to the parents with essential facts and artifacts of students output. Through the prior
knowledge of the teacher about confidentiality of results the teacher can politely approach the parents
provided with the guidelines upon seeing the grades of his/her son/daughter only. For further good
approach with regards to such concern the teacher may re-state the agreement being made etc. Because of
the teachers knowledge in handling different situations the teacher can solve the problem with ease
without reprimanding , or making the parent fell outrageous of the action taken by the teacher . Such
situation is still a part of fostering the teaching learning process to be more successful its because prior to
what is postulated in the curricular design, stakeholders particularly the parents has their respective
rights vested upon them .The context of the usability of the teachers knowledge to the content whether it
is inclined to teaching of other sophisticated matters . Knowledge serves as a bridge towards good
companionship among the learners. Knowledge has wide scope of uses , thats why as a practitioner
/expert/ a professional worker etc. must have the sufficient knowledge about their profession, methods
content ,practices , applied approaches ,styles and other matters .that adhere the attainment of goals,
aspirations, or better learning /working outcome whether inside or outside the working/learning
institution . In terms of the learners and the teachers , knowledge plays a vital role in providing them
become better individuals hence productive and viable to the improvement of the community . .

Critiquing of the Republic act no.7877 ( An Act Declaring Sexual Harassment Unlawful in
the Employment , Education or Training Environment and for other purposes . )
The context of Republic act 7877 doesnt specified the particular gender under its
considerations whether the individuals are gays ,trans-genders , lesbian and bisexual . It defies the
context of equality of rights and opportunity. In the first place this law give greater advantage among
women which are not only workers of the working community . The must is to specify the type of gender
that can be covered to this law in order to give clarity of the distribution of rights . Men and women shall
have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction. The
specification for clarity must be present in the context of the R.A 7877. The amendment believed that
these gender-based benefits protected women as they entered new spheres, such as the work industry, and
that the loss of such protection would not be worth the supposed gain in equality. The aforementioned
quotes truly shows ambiguity of the rights among the workers since it is shown that that law biased other
specific types of workers in the working place. If in case it reasoned out the rights of men and women still
it is ambiguous since the third sexes are legally recognized nowadays .
When the victim is a child below seven (7) years old from R.A 8353 and From STATUTORY
RAPE LAWS BY STATE harshest statutory rape penalty for offenders who are age 21 or older with
varied conditions depending on the degree of case . , it somehow give clear jurisdiction of the law. The
law R.A 7877 is so broad, it doesnt substantiate the specific age of the offended .which should be
specified for clarity of its jurisdiction of power. It doesnt even specifically mentioned senior citizen as a
part of the law. It should chunk by chunk all type of individuals covered by this law.
.R.A 7877 section 7 that talks about the penalties and the time of detention of the person proven
guilty. The stated length of detention and penalty which is 1-6months and 10,000-20,000 pesos may tend
to abuse the said law and the possible offender that may experience or involved in the said case.

Moreover the pursuant of amending the law and the restrictions upon giving an amnesty to the offender
must be still rectified due to unjustifiable and ambiguous aim, distribution of rights etc. that it contends
to affect human laws. . First is the length of detention , It should be not just within the range of a month-
6months, it should be ratified and change into 4-8yrs and 2days the length of detention of the offender
must be likewise that of the anti-rape act and Magna Carta for women whose respective detention of
the person found guilty may reach , Reclusion Perpetua and even death. The law should amend its system
of length of detention and penalty, It should include Reclusion Perpetua ranging from 10-20yrs only
with the condition of allowing amnesty or parole as early or within the stated time of possible detention
of the person found guilty.
Second is the penalty , even if both are given to the offender still the possible of abusing the law
is of great percentage thats why , the proposed reclusion Perpetua given with some conditions and the
penalty of 100,000-400,000 pesos is enough to justify the purpose of the law . It cannot be easily out
powered by anybody within its jurisdiction. Not dramatically death and Reclusion Perpetua ranging 30-40
yrs. and a lifetime which such things are based from anti-rape act 1997.
R.A 7877 section 4 A-B set biased to the superiors of the working institution . What if Superiors
are being forced for such action? . The one that should be held liable must be merely the offender or the
person aggravating the situation . It states from Wikipedia Equality before the law, also known as
equality under the law, equality in the eyes of the law, or legal equality, is the principle under which all
people are subject to the same laws of justice (due process). Feminists call for equality before the law
regardless of gender and position in various institution . So the superior should also be also given a sort
of considerations and rights to be embedded still in this R.A no 7877 since the totality of its design
doesnt anticipate contingencies the takes favor if the employer takes charge of the case. It merely
delimits to the working heads of the institution all the reserved rights under this law are almost all in
favor to the employers as stated in R.A 7877 section 3-A.2/.1/.3.

The law should constitute complimentary laws and punishment to strengthen its framework just
to make conduit to the said penalties and era of detention, like the moral damages, oral defamation and
physical injury as a preference to be used to strengthen the case with its relative guidelines, conditions
penalties and clause that is related to the aforementioned laws.
It should include in the law R.A 7877 if the circumstances are intentional or not , Circumstances
if he/she took liquor during the event in order to be given appropriate degree of harassment just in case if
proven that the offender is at that State , ue to that it also give allowance to the known offeder of the case
Inasmuch to that: Let's Keep Things Legal and clear
Prior reactions against R.A 7877
The law abstrusely include as well the type of working institution particularly whether it is public
working cites or private working cites . The laws in some areas only credit the public institution and
disregard private working institution one. Thats why R.A7877 should be amended or ratified in such
instances that the implication of the distribution of rights arent in balance even it specifies to include
private institution .It should be still clarified for public information/ knowledge/ understanding .
Prior to section 7 under penalties stating Any action arising from the violation of the provisions
of this Act shall prescribe in three years. I wont totally disagree to it but the years of its interval should
be 1-2 years . There should be prior modification of this good R.A to establish good threshold in the
working lives of the people and clarity of rights distribution.
This law should also adhere a parcel of ideas from other forms of law and\norms just like anti-
trafficking act, gender equity and equality, anti sex tourism and sex slavery act etc. that it encompasses.
Such act leads to transgression and would result to dehumanization if not being put into action.
