reconsideration on the decision adverse to him, he can
either file an appeal or a motion for reconsideration
within the reglementary period provided by law.
Moreover, in cases where the Magna Carta of
Women does not provide penalty for a specific right
violated, the pertinent provisions of substantive laws

on penalties, i.e. Civil Code of the Philippines and
the Revised Penal Code, shall be adopted. This is in
addition to the administrative penalties imposable
upon a government employee who violated the
right/s of a woman under the Act. In the absence
of a nomenclature for the violation of a particular
right of a woman under the act, the provisions of the
RRACCS shall apply and the violation committed
by the government employee may be categorized as
grave, less grave or light offense.
