Text messages to a fellow goverment worker:
“Pauwi ka na ba sexy?” "I Like you" "HAVE A DATE WITH ME"
"Dont tell to (sic) others that I told that I like you because
nakakahiya" "Puso mo to pag bigay moto sakin, I would be
very happy" "I slept and dreamt nice things about you"
These texts was followed by an attempt to kiss the woman without her consent
during a work field trip.
The Supreme Court found the respondent guilty of grave misconduct for these
acts of sexual harassment. Respondent was dismissed from services with
forfeiture of benefits. The SC said 'he is a perverted predator
preying on his female colleagues and subordiantes. His
continued misbehavior cannot go unchecked.''
(Narvasa vs. Sanchez, March 2010)
Chairman: Saan na ba tayo natapos?
Palakad-lakad siya sa aking likuran habang nag-didikta.
Huminto siya pagkatapos, at nilagay niya ang kanang
kamay niya sa aking kanang balikat at pinisil-pisil ito
pagkatapos ay pinagapang niya ito sa kanang bahagi
ng aking leeg, at pinagapang hanggang kanang
tenga at saka kiniliti. Dito ko inalis ang kaniyang
kamay sa pamamagitan ng aking kaliwang kamay. At
saka ko sinabi:
Lourdes: Sir, yung kamay ninyo alisin niyo!
It is not essential that the demand, request or requirement
be made as a condition for continued employment or
for promotion to a higher position. It is enough that the
respondent’s acts result in creating an intimidating, hostile
or offensive environment for the employee.
(Domingo vs. Rayala, 2008)
