In celebration of National Womenโs Month, the Malinao Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (MTRC), through the Human Resource Management Section (HRMS), successfully conducted an empowering activity for all employees, highlighting the vital role of women in leadership, service, community building, and transformation.
The activity featured a meaningful discussion on the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995 (Republic Act No. 7877) that declares all forms of sexual harassment unlawful in employment, education, or training environments in the Philippines. It mandates employersโ heads to prevent such acts, establish procedures for resolution, and create a Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI). Also the activity tackled the Safe Spaces Act (Bawal Bastos Law) or Republic Act No. 11313 that penalizes gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces, online, workplaces, and educational institutions.
We were honored to have Commission on Human Rights Region V Regional Director, Atty. Arlene Alangco, as our Subject Matter Expert, who shared valuable insights on upholding dignity, equality, and protection in the workplace.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our Chief of Hospital III, Fulbert Alec Gillego RMT, MD, MSPH, PhD, for his support in advancing gender and development initiatives. Appreciation is also extended to the MTRC GADFPS with the HRMS for spearheading this activity and to all employees who actively participated.
Above all, we celebrate and honor all the women of MTRC, your strength, compassion, and leadership continue to inspire and drive our mission of healing and recovery.
