USTP Oroquieta Gender and Development

22/08/2026

CSC Memorandum Circular No. 12, series of 2005 (MC 12, s. 2005) mandates the use of non-sexist language in all official documents, communications, and issuances within the Philippine government.

Practical Examples of Changes

To comply with the rule, government offices substitute gender-biased terms with neutral alternatives:
📌 Instead of: Chairman, use: Chairperson
📌 Instead of: Manpower, use: Human resources / Workforce
📌 Instead of: Spokesman, use: Spokesperson
📌 Instead of: Pronouns like he or his when the gender is unknown, use: They, their, or rewrite the sentence to remove the pronoun

Ang tahanan ang unang lugar na dapat nagbibigay ng seguridad sa bawat bata. Ito ang dapat nilang matakbuhan, hindi katakutan. Walang bata ang dapat makaranas ng pananamantala sa mismong lugar na inaasahan nilang magpoprotekta sa kanila.

Kaya sa pagtatapos ng Anti-Trafficking in Persons Awareness Month, dalhin natin ang adhikaing ito sa bawat tahanan at komunidad. Higit pa sa isang buwang kampanya, sama-sama nating itaguyod ang isang Pilipinas kung saan ligtas ang bawat bata at walang puwang ang trafficking at anumang uri ng pananamantala.

Kung ikaw o ang isang kakilala mo ay biktima o pinaghihinalaang biktima ng Human Trafficking o Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC), magsumbong sa 1343 Actionline, Makabata Helpline 1383, o sa mga kinauukulang awtoridad.

Protektado ka ng Republic Act No. 11862, o ang Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2022, at Republic Act No. 11930, o ang Anti-OSAEC and Anti-Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) Act.
