Former Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Sunday insisted that implementing a proposed law allowing on paid menstrual leaves would be counterproductive since companies might not be able to provide an additional 24 days of leave per year.

MANILA, Philippines — Former Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Sunday insisted that implementing a

would be counterproductive since companies might not be able to provide an additional 24 days of leave per year.“Maternity leave, paternity leave and now, menstrual leave – all with pay. Next time, a legislative measure will be filed mandating menopause and andropause allowances to increase the testosterone levels of workers.”Lacson said the economic implications of menstrual leaves may end up in layoffs and even closure of some factories.

“What the proponents of the two-day-a-month menstrual-leave-with-pay measure and the ordinary working woman in this country may not realize is the impact of an additional 24 days a year of leave with pay on top of the 105 days of maternity leave, 7 days of paternity leave, 5 days of sick leave, including the 13-18 days of vacation leave every year which could lead to layoffs or even the closing of some factories that may not have the wherewithal to cope with the burden of complying with all...

Actually no, you’re too far ahead, what I see is a disadvantage on hiring females . Let’s see first kung Mai pasa muna yung law, at makita Yung effect Meron naman kasi talaga debilitating menstrual cramps at kawawa naman yung nakakaranas nito.

This proposed law discriminates against men and, therefore unconstitutional. What of other genders, such as those who identify as females, do they get menstrual leave too? For those who identified as males, do they lose their menstrual leave because they identify as males?🤔

no vote

Approve the bill but women should not crt descrimunation when employers prefer males as their employees. Also make sure na clear yung bill..for biologically born femalea lng ba yung bill or kasama dito ung mga non binary na nagiiba iba ang gender depende sa trip..

Hehehe! E kung puro na lang leave ang trabaho ng women dapat ang bill na e propose ni Gabriela huwag na patrabahuin mga women pensyunan na lang direkta ng SSS at GSIS.

The mestruation leave may have good intentions but will discourage employers and businesses to hire women. For those with difficult menstrual cycle, they could use their sick leave benefit.

Okay lang yan kung di pagirapan ang proseso sa pag claim sa sss. Di na rin masyadong kukuha ng mga babae ang mga kompanya o di na magbibigay ng malalaking sahod sa mga babae na less than 26 days lang magtatrabahi kada buwan.

Pwede nga maabuso dahil Military Police sergeant ako nuong Highschool CAT namin at menstrual period ang habitual excuse ng ibang female cadets para hindi sila mag physical activities... Ano yun tuwing weekends may menstrual period sila?!

There will be a big demand for transwomen employees.

Companies will simply start hiring more men, until such time that men start getting periods, of course.

True

Just increase the 5 days SIL to 2 weeks.

Siguro konting adjustment pa ng batas n yan. Para fair sa babae at sa employer.. wag puro 1 sided lang lagi tntignan.. pwede masira takbo ng business pag my gnyan.. ayusin lang cgro. Pero ung idea ng batas is ok n ok.. gawin lang fair both party.

Yung paternity leave dapat gawin man lang 1 month para alalayan misis nila sa pag aalaga ng newborn babies

Ping, why don't you re-focus your energy on ways how the government can collect taxes efficiently? Like what you've done before in the BOC controversy. You'd be better rebranded that way than dipping your fingers on women's concerns...

Laki ng problema niyo sa mga KIPAY!!!!

The world is also moving into 4-days a week work, punishable to send email or call (for work related matters) during off-work hours or weekends and holidays, WFH as preference if possible Including the paid additional leaves for child birthing, menstruation, paternal task leave

So yung batas na taas sahod for all na swept under the rug na?

Isama na yan sa sick leave benefit!

Mga lawmakers natin magaling gumawa ng 'benefits' na ang magbabayad hindi naman sila kung di ang mga employers na karamihan naghihirap din.

Sa aking mini grocery nag struggle ako to stay afloat. Pag naipasa ang batas na yan sapul ang stability ng maliit na negosyo. Sa pag hire ng tao baka mas piliin ko tanggapin ang male applicants. Sorry sa female applicants pero may factor ang mawalan ng manpower sa bagong batas.

National Law should not be gender Biased,

Yes that's really the possible consequences, that bill is not reasonable. Employment of women would be put at risk.
