Petition Letter to all Philippine Legislators
Dear Honorable members of the Philippine Congress in the Senate and House of Representatives:
In the Philippines, the cases of rape, sexual harassment, sexual assaults and other crimes whether inside the schools and workplace, in the open streets, and even inside homes, continually increase in an alarming rate.
Statistics on reports of abuse on overseas Filipino workers continue to rise while legislation to protect them remains almost nonexistent in spite of the OFWs’ vital contribution to the country’s economy.
These highlight the need to legislate a system that will empower women and girls.Without necessarily discriminating men in this issue, it is a fact that women are more vulnerable to becoming victims of such crimes.
Based on the principle that self-defense is an instinct that needs to be developed, with proper training, anyone will be able to protect oneself in the event of imminent danger.
The MOTHER Rape Prevention Bill, (which was initially filed in the Philippines' 11thCongress, and subsequently re-filed in succeeding Congresses) seeks to empower women and girls by equipping them with the necessary know-how and confidence to guard themselves from any harm that endangers their safety, dignity and reputation.The MOTHER Bill proposes to incorporate a self-defense training course for girls in the school’s PE curriculum, in the pre-departure orientation of women overseas workers, in the workplace of private agencies as well as under the GAD program of government offices, among others.
Teaching women and girls to use their self-defense instinct not only will equip them with a built-in bodyguard to surge at the time of need.It would likewise empower them to use their intuition and discern the warning signs.Thus, preventing cases of domestic violence, human trafficking, hold-up, and other intentionally-inflicted personal crimes.
Please support the modified MOTHER Rape Prevention bill in the Philippines which was originally filed in 2000, so that Hopefully, intentionally-inflicted personal crimes including the heinous crime rape, will be a thing of the past. Perpetrators and predators will be scared out of their wits if their target victims are indeed equipped with a built-in bodyguard.
Authors of the MOTHER RAPE PREVENTION BILL since the 11th Congress and up to the Present 16th Congress (2000-2016):

We would like to request our Legislators not to waste their time and our country's resources on endless, unproductive,devisive political investigations in the guise of being " in aid of legislations " when in fact and in truth its being jused as platforms for their selfish political motives and other more important bills espescially for the advancement of the poor and other marginalized sectors including the protection of women and children are pending and left unattended..
Long overdue
Let us teach our women to protect themselves from abuse. It may not eradicate rape but it empowers our women to have the ability to protect themselves.
This is a must
Prevention is better than cure.
more power!

We enjoin the global Filipino community: Let's join hands in enlightening the legislators to open their eyes to the simple solution that would address a gigantic universal concern: why should there be intentionally inflicted personal crimes such as sexual assaults and especially the heinous crime rape - when these are highly preventable. Teaching the kids in their early age such as in the schools' physical education curriculum awareness and the instinctive defense mechanism so that they can develop this and lessen their vulnerability. Whether they stay inside the country or work abroad, they are capable to taking care of themselves.
