Dangerous or empowering? Signups on sugar daddy dating site rise among young women in PH amid pandemic
Tarra Quismundo Oct 30 2020 02:38 PM
For “Zarina,” it was an answer to her school tuition woes. Two years on, she’s living the life. She said she receives more than P80,000 in monthly allowances - a manager’s wage - from her sugar daddy.
For “Alexandra” who recently signed up, it’s not so much about the money, but good conversations and business mentoring from the mature men she meets.

The paper asks the following questions: What did the Spanish colonizers find out when they first saw the women? How did the Spanish colonizers view the Filipino women through time? What were the Filipino women’s activities, rituals and customs that pertain to sexuality? How did they express their sexual desires? Why were polygamy, concubinage and abortion practiced ? How did the Spanish colonizers wield the Christian Doctrine to conquer the so-called Evils that plague the Filipino women? What was the perception of the Filipino women of the Spanish colonizers?

For this petition, Amadea Angela "Maggie" Ho Aquino is claiming her right to inherit from her grandfather Miguel. The problem is that in the eyes of the law, she is an "illegitimate" child of Miguel's son Arturo who died before Maggie was born.

Middle age is like going through puberty again, but as an adult.
You are too young to be old but too old to to be considered young. For women, the mid-40s are a life stage punctuated with hormonal fluctuations, body changes, and mood swings brought about by perimenopause or the gradual transition to menopause.

Gonorrhea is showing resistance to older and cheaper form of antibiotics – making it harder, and in some cases, impossible to treat.

Male child sexual abuse sa Pilipinas, bakit underreported?
GMA Public Affairs April 9, 2021
Underreported.
Ito ang pahayag ng mga eksperto tungkol sa mga kaso ng male child sexual abuse sa Pilipinas.
Ayon sa 2016 National Baseline Study on violence against children in the Philippines, mas maraming batang lalaki ang nakaranas ng pang-aabuso kumpara sa mga babae. Pero karamihan daw sa mga ito, hindi naire-report sa mga kinauukulan.
Bakit nga ba nananatiling underreported ang kaso ng male child sexual abuse sa bansa? Alamin sa video.

Gabriela Representative Arlene Brosas says the passage of the measure will give women and children an 'increased chance' to combat all forms of abuse.

FAST FACTS: Why online sexual exploitation of children happens in the Philippines
Michelle Abad February 11, 2020
On Safer Internet Day, government officials promise continuous training of front liners to rescue victims of online sexual exploitation.
With Filipinos consecutively topping the world in terms of social media use, there is a lot of room for abusers to engage in sexual exploitation of children behind closed doors and in front of a webcam.

'These are stories of children we cannot be silent about,' Bahay Tuluyan says in its compelling video depicting the devastating impact of child abuse
Not everyone has a happy childhood story to tell.
A 2016 study of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) revealed that one in 5 children are sexually harassed in the Philippines. Worse, most of these children experience violence in a place where they should feel most secure – their own homes.

Some parents protect children from monsters, others prey on their own
Her father raped her from age 11 to 15.

Liar, her rapist accused her. Drop the case, her mother ordered.
The family of 7 lived in a small Laguna town. The house was empty, except for the two.
The first rape happened that day, on the family’s papag (bamboo bed). All succeeding rapes also happened at home.
Never tell your mother, he warned.
At 17, she eloped and married. Who came before me, her husband probed. My father, she answered.

Michelle Abad October 28, 2019
The Safe Spaces Act, now fully enforced, protects everyone from sexual harassment both in physical and online spaces, and not just by persons in authority

Why are we against catcalling? Because we want to feel safe, comfortable, and secure everyday. No matter where we are and what we are wearing.

The bill would impose hefty fines and jail time for those caught sexually harassing others in public or online

The Video: Pope asks catechists to pay more attention to the formation of people with disabilities
Dec 3, 2020 ROME REPORTS in English

9 of 10 complaints filed by women, girls with disabilities involve rape - CHR
July 7, 2021 Czarina Nicole Ong Ki
Nine of 10 complaints on gender-based violence (GBV) against women and girls with disabilities involved rape, the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) said.
“Violence and discrimination are aggravated in the context of women and girls with disabilities who also confront the burden of overcoming physical barriers, stereotyping, and social exclusion,” the CHR said.

The House Committee on Persons with Disabilities (PWD) has approved in principle bills proposing to increase the number of PWDs mandated to be employed in government agencies and private firms.

While the passage of a “Inclusive Education” Bill on second reading is a “welcome development,” child rights advocates reminded the government—especially concerned agencies such as the Department of Education (DepEd)—that there is a long way to go before fully addressing the needs of children with disabilities (CWDs).

With few more days to go before classes officially reopen, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian said DepEd should work closely with local government units (LGUs) in making sure that medical professionals can reach the homes of these students to provide support services while health and safety protocols against COVID-19 are strictly observed.

While distance learning for basic education students is a challenge, it's even more so for teachers figuring out how best to teach students with disabilities

The Philippine Institute of Development Studies says lack of transportation, basic facilities, and infrastructure are major challenges in providing education to children with disabilities

"Failon Ngayon" talks about autism for better understanding, and the Philippine authorities’ capability to provide aid and support children with special needs.

A person with disability tackles inclusivity and a high-performing culture.
With all the access signs one could find – mandated, of course, in public places – one could be forgiven to think that all other opportunities, too, have truly been equalized for persons with disabilities (PWDs) or the so-called differently abled. And I mean beyond those fast lanes at fancy burger joints.

Many persons with disabilities don’t physically look disabled. Sometimes, that makes it even harder for them to get the help they need.

Manila requires fast food restaurants to hire seniors, PWDs
March 07, 2020
Under the ordinance, senior citizens, differently-abled persons, and PWDs 'will not be assigned tasks that are hazardous to their health or beyond their physical limitations or capabilities'

No one and nothing can bring down a person who was born with a disability and managed to survive it.
This is the mindset of Vincent Mendoza, a 22-year-old Industrial Technology student from Daanbantayan town in northern Cebu, who was born without legs.
Mendoza, in a phone interview with CDN Digital, said his disability made it tough for him to do some basic tasks of moving, like getting up from bed, traveling, and carrying heavy items.
But what really challenged him most was being bullied.

Disability sector representatives assert there's more that can be done to make the elections accessible to people with disabilities

The law may be in place, but much more should be done to make elections accessible to all

The House of Representatives approves its version of the bill on October 8, while the Senate already gave its nod to the measure in July

Deaf and Dumb

"Deaf and dumb" (or even just "dumb", when applied to deaf people, who do not speak) is an archaic term that is considered offensive.
Many Deaf people do not use a spoken language, thus they are technically "mute". The word "dumb" has at least an archaic meaning that means "mute". Of course, the word "dumb" also has another more common meaning now that implies stupidity, which is certainly not applicable to most Deaf people.

Given the long history of deafness, and the fact that Deaf people have been incorrectly assumed to be mentally deficient just because they do not speak, you can imagine that most Deaf people do not appreciate being called "Deaf and Dumb".
