The StarStruck alumna also declared her support for the new Gender and Development ordinance in Quezon City which aims to eliminate catcalling and other forms of street-level sexual harassment.

“YES, it is good because SOME men don't know how to respect other women. Feeling nila okay lang sa mga babae na nababastos sila at nasisipulan. Feeling nila natutuwa tayo sa mga pa hi miss hi miss nila. Eto lang masasabi ko, HINDI KAMI NATUTUWA OR NAAALIW SA MGA GANYAN NIYO.”

 

The local government of Quezon City has passed an ordinance aiming to reduce catcalling and other forms of street-level sexual harassment against women, Jun Veneracion reported on 24 Oras on Thursday. The Gender and Development ordinance will impose fines ranging from P1,000 to P5,000 and jail terms of one day to one year on people caught making disparaging remarks or stalking women around the city. “Ang Quezon City ang kauna-unahang lungsod sa buong Pilipinas na nag-iimpose na ngayon ng fines, penalties, at pagkakulong sa sinumang taong mambabastos,” QC Administrator Aldrin Cuña explained. “Harassing a woman or a girl in public… catcalling, yung ‘pagka tinawag mong ‘Ms. Beautiful,’ ‘pa-kiss’, ‘yan. ‘Seksi mo’, ‘yan. ‘Pagka sa tingin at pakiwari ng babae ay siya ay nabastos, that is a light offense,” he added. Stalking or making lascivious gestures such as winking at women are considered medium violations while groping and touching women are severe violations. Women may file their complaints with the women’s desk of any nearby police station. The GAD ordinance by the QC Gender and Development Resource and Coordinating Office was formed in response to the United Nation Entity for Gender Equality’s call against sexual harassment. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual harassment includes “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature”.
