RA 7877 was enacted to prevent and lawfully punished any unwelcome sexual

advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual

education. Any person who commit work/education or training related sexual

harassment was imprisonment of not less than one (1) month nor more than six (6)

thousand pesos (P20,000), or both such fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the
