for prohibited acts and their corresponding penalties.

punishable sexual harassment.

• Meaning anyone can be an offender in this law.

• The Safe Spaces Act covers even sexist, homophobic, and transphobic
remarks.

• CASE ANALYSIS: The "Nice" Guy

• When I started my new job, I made a conscious effort to be friendly. One married man,
who I would say hi to in the hallways, started asking me to go out for lunch. I said yes to
a small group outing, but when it quickly turned into one-on-one sessions, with invites
becoming more frequent and more forceful—I'd politely decline. Still, I would get creepy
messages, like, "Your calendar was free earlier, are you avoiding me?" I questioned
whether I was overreacting. I didn't want others to think that I was a snob, so I felt
pressured to have lunch with him once in a while. Then dinner invites and weekend
texts began. Even though I told him it was inappropriate, he would leave me coffee or
snacks from Starbucks on my desk. I had heard through the grapevine that he was
telling people in the office how "close" and "bagay" we were. Finally, on Valentine's day,
he presented me with flowers at the office. I had reached my limit, and publicly told him
that I wasn't accepting the flowers and that he should give them to his wife.
BASED ON THE CASE:
• A. From the story, was there sexual harassment that took place? If there is, how.
If none, why?
