May point si ping, babae ako, pero I know OA yung mga nang bash s kanya, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS! Pero if I’m running a bussiness eh di puro boys na lang kukunin ko kasi mas efficient na sila lumalabas kesa sa babae.
This actually send women back.. An interview here in UK was done with business men and company owners. They were ask if two applicants for the same position with the same qualifications, which would you hire, a male or female. All answered male as they business wise, they will get the same job done without dealing with monthly leave and pay for not being at work. This may be applicable if you are medically signed to have extreme pain and bleeding. Otherwise, it is viewed again as deterrent for women applying for job and raise. I am a woman and having bad periods due to growth in my ovaries but I do not like this bill.
Babae ako at lahi namin May dysmenorrhea pero parang OA na ito, pwede naman mag sick leave, aabusuhin to ng mga babaeng tamad, ano? Show proof na may regla ka sa work? Papakita mo pads mo? Kaloka!
those countries can afford them. sa ibang bansa, yung binabayad sa leaves in-earn na yan ng employee, nabawas na yan sa sahod bukod sa tax. where i am at kapag sick leave from day 2 govt na nagbabayad sa kin. do we really think kaya yan sa pilipinas?
This bill discriminates against males. I'm a female, and I don't agree with Ping's proposed law. If menstruation cramp is so severe and debilitating, the female worker can call-in sick.
1:21, it is not being feminist. Mahirap talaga ang magauffer from dysmenorrhea. Eversince I started my menstruation I suffered from dysmenorrhea and I still do until now even after having 3 kids.
Truth be told, I would rather work than be on leave and suffer from dysmenorrhea. Hindi lang cramps nararamdaman mo, may kasama pang headache and diarrhea.
1:09. it wouldn’t be fair nga naman to charge it to sick leave. Pareho lang naman ang dami ng sick leave ng babae at lalaki and yet at a disadvantage ang babae. Take my case for instance, imagine every month nagkaka-dysmenorrhea ka so that’s 12 days agad tapos you are left with 3 days, so kung nagka-flu ka or worse, nagka Covid, kulang pa ang sick leave mo na kung tutuusin, hindi mo naman kasalanan na naubos ang 12 days mo.
Advance na po ang medicines at healthcare, may pain killers for that na. Manageable na po siya, in all forms. Kung ayaw mong uminom ng gamot, choice mo yun. Take a sick leave.
Imagine having female employees na pwedeng mawala ng 2-5 days dahil dinudugo, on top of regular sick days. Good luck naman at baka mag-hire na lang ang mga companies ng mga lalake. And wag tayong paka-plastic ha? It happens!
Case to case basis naman yan eh. And covered na ng Magna Carta Law ang women’s reproductive health wherein they can go on additional leave provided na may medical documents.
I'm employer and my employees are mostly female.Hala pano na ang business if every month nag ML tapos pano na lang kung sabay sabay mag ML.I know me malala talaga mag dysmenorrhoea pero pano naman businesses.1 to 2 tao umabsent sakit na sa ulo lalot me hinahabol eh.
Babae ako pero parang sobra naman ata yung menstrual leave.. e di bawat babae absent ng 4 days per month.. mas mahihirapan din makakuha ng trabaho ang mga babae.. tapos sisigaw ng discrimination at walang gender equality. Wala pa ring ibang bansa n may menstrual leave.. sino nakaisip nun??
1) Where did you get 4 days, based ba sa period cycle mo? The bill states "up to two days". Pwedeng I-Google.
2) At dahil mago-Google ka na din, isabay mo na ang pagresearch ng mga ibang bansa na mayroong pinapatupad na menstrual leaves. It's not an outrageous concept; even a workaholic country like Korea practices it.
3) Babae din ako, and I suffer from menorrhagia. There are times when I have non-stop heavy bleeding for weeks, binigyan na ako ng iron supplements nang hindi ako maging anemic and reseta for tranexamic acid to finally stop the bleeding dahil hindi kaya ng katawan ko to do it. Although it can be hard, my condition does not stop me from working. So it would be nice if people can start being more considerate to other women, to think hindi pa tapos ang Women's Month.
4) Siguro nga may mga employers na magkakaroon ng bias, at meron ding mga empleyado na mamimihasa. But that is up to them. Why should a few bad apples spoil the bunch, eh marami pa din naman sa atin ang maayos ang work ethics?
The Spanish parliament approved the creation of a sick leave for women suffering from incapacitating periods, becoming the first country in Europe to do so.
Parang sick leave din yung sa Spain.. so need ng medical cert. din
As someone who is having severe pms, I really wanted this to push through. Everytime I'm on my period hindi ako nakakatulog, i have menstrual migraine, extreme insomnia, depression at kung anu-ano sumasakit sa katawan ko.
For people screaming bloody murder na meron ng ganitong bill sa ibang European nation, sila po yon. They can afford it. Ndi mayaman na country ang Pilipinas. Mashado na po yatang pa woke tayong lahat to the detriment of our society.
10 steps back para sa mga babae kasi baka mas magkadiscrimation tayo during hiring process. Business wise ikaw ba mag hire ng babae kahit pwede silang magbuntis at mag leave tapos may ganitong bill pa. Sorry pero no
Keyword: workaholic, rich countries except Indonesia and Zambia. I googled, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Spain lang meron.. This year rin lang nagkaroon ang Spain.
One day UNPAID sa Korea, up to 2 days partial pay/unpaid sa Japan. 3 times per year sa Taiwan.. tapos dun sa iba depende na sa company ksi di rin daw sinusunod.
@12:50 ako si 12:31 sa first post above. Nag work ba tranexamic sayo? Kase saken never. I just suffered with the heavy clots every month. Sobra na din nipis ng hair ko kase very anemic na ako. It’s just a cycle. Sandali lang ok pakiramdam ko after blood transfusion. After the heavy painful flow, ayan na naman.
Hindi niyo alam ano magiging cause nito? More women will not get jobs. Sinong employer ang gugustuhin mag employ ng kababaihan na laging may sick leave or menstrual leave every month? Tapos ano? Magdedemand kayo ng equal pay sa mga lalaki na walang ganyang leave at mas mahaba kung magstay sa work. What a joke.
11:50 girl, try mo magkaroon ng bukol sa matres at masakit sobra ang period every month, ewan ko lang kung makapasok ka. Merong mga nahihimatay sa ganyan at maraming sinasalinan ng dugo. Ganun kalala. pasalamat ka kung hindi mo nararanasan yan so don't question something if hindi mo nararanasan. Others need it badly.
1:28AM So you're saying hindi natin ikauunlad as a nation ang menstrual leave? Andami pang mas malaking hadlang sa progress natin kesa isang bill na nakakatulong sa babae noh. Massive corruption is one.
12:54 ... kaso yung medcert lang minsan problema, kasi may ibang company na manghihingi tapos pipilitin ka pumunta sa hospital pra lang makakuha ... yung dagdag pahinga m sana mauubos sa hospital haha
Babae ako na nagsasuffer sa grabeng dysmenorrhea, yung tipong namimilipit talaga pero I don't support this bill. OA na sa true lang. Pwedeng sakop na yan ng sick leave. Sus
Babae ako, but as a business owner also myself, parang, hmm. Kailangang pag isipan ng mabuti yan. Pwede naman siguro mag fall yan under sick leave. O palawigin ang sick leave.
"Palawigin ang sick leave." Sa ibang company kasi pwedeng naiipon ang SL. Pwede rin convertible to cash. Di ko pa nababasa etong menstrual leave pero I bet hindi ganyan.
I agree, di naman sa nilalahat. Also a business owner pero ang dami kayang snowflakes na employee na abusado, bigla na lang magaabsent kahit i return to work order mo. Bibigyan ka lang ng mental health card, tapos mageexpect na back to normal lang. Kahit by labor laws pwede na iterminate sa AWOL.
2:25, I’m pretty sure nakaranas or nakakaranas din ng ganun si 11:52, eh pano yung mga babae na hindi lang 2 or 4 days magka menstrual period merong inaabot ng 5-7 days, kung gusto mo ng ganung “menstrual leave” mag move out ka na ng Pinas ‘teh…it’s such a stupid kind of leave
12:01 Menstrual leave ang topic, hindi maternity leave. Wag mo ilihis. Non-issue ang maternity leave dahil kailangan alagaan ang newborn at mag recover ng nanay. Eh ang menstrual leave?
1:14 Ok sige valid and maternity leave para alagaan ang newborn. Eh paternity leave wala ka issue. And hindi nalilihis ang topic. Leaves are leaves and validity nila ang usapan as a business owner.
Ang maternity leave, napaplano ang cover well in advance.
How do I justify paying the same across men and women of the same rank and position pero yung lalake mas efficient dahil 75-80% lang ang work ng babae every month dahil sa kabuwanan?!? So bale taasan ko na lang sahod ng lalake, ganun? Wag na akong kumuha ng babae?
1:14 Gets ko point nung nauna. Imagine 2 months wala ang babae kasi nanganak. Kung yan pa lang di na na-discriminate mga babae eh bakit gigil na gigil kayo sa 2 days off na leave. As a business owner ha. 😂
First and foremost, I am a female. Alam ko ang feeling ng menstrual pain. Pero medyo OA na yung menstrual leave. Aabusuhin lang yang privilege na yan. Saka hindi lahat ng babae nakakaranas ng sobrang tinding sakit to warrant a couple of days off. haynaku!
Kung mayroong may conditions like fibroids, pcos, cyst, etc pwede yan dahil iba talaga pakiramdam like me. Sana sis di ka magkaron ng problema sa health down there dahil ewan ko lang kung masabi mo pa yan
12:45 I get it. I have a hormonal condition too. But you also have to understand na hindi lahat ng babae eh may issues gaya natin, so maaabuso talaga. Meron nga ring hindi nagkakaperiod or under forced menopause because of health issues. Pero makikinabang pa rin sila sa menstrual leave? Don’t you think it’s also unfair for the company?
I agree. Not to disregard what we go through when we have our period, it can be painful and stressful, but this law is bound to be abused. How can you tell if your employee has her period? How can she prove it? Do employers have keep track of all of their employees’ menstrual cycles? Some of us don’t even get regular periods. Parang ang hirap ata nito. Some companies might opt to hire more men instead
1:30am I beg to disagree. I'm a doctor and wala akong kilalang icocompromise integrity nila at nababayaran for a fake diagnosis sa med cert. We won't risk our license na pinaghirapan namin for several years for a few hundred pesos. Ang madami yung gumagamit ng pangalan namin and license number at gumagawa ng fake med cert.
11:16 nako nako akala mo lang yan, napakadaling mameke ng medcert ngayon. Mas maigi talaga is taeagan at iconfirm ng company yung AP if may records at nagpacheck up ba yung pasyente.
@11:16 Remind ko lang syo si GMA.Ano nga ba diagnosis ng drs nya regarding her neck? Mga bigatin pa drs nya huh! So kamusta naman sya ngayon? Wala na neck brace d ba? 🙄😏
@11:16, may OB dati nag issue ng medcert for lbm sa agent naming lalaki. Nasa Manila ang patient, while nasa Visayas si OB. Before 2010 pa ito and hindi pa ata practiced ang teleconsultation. 😜
Anon 1:20 kaya ko nga sinabi na kung may ganung conditions, pwede, meaning kung dahil lang may period eh mag-leave na, hindi pwede. Dapat may medcert regarding those conditions before mabigyan ng special leave for that na up to 2 days.
12:38 Kung pwede siguro mag dysmenorrhea ang mga boys, willing ang mga yan in exchange of 24 days paid leave. Men have high tolerance for pain than women.
Wala ka sa hulog accla @12:38, ang siste kasi, mas papaboran ng mga may-ari ng kumpanya ang mga lalaki dahil nga more time sila na nasa work…
Gaya rin sabi nung commenter sa taas, kung ganyan nga mangyari, ano naman next na ipagsisigawan nung mga Feminists at Gabriela, female empowerment, equality eme eme! Ay sus! Eh sila rin naman dahilan kumbakit ganyan nga mangyayari 💁♀️
This is sad. Kung hindi agree wag na sana mag react negatively. As someone na nakaka experience ng severe menstrual cramps, as in laklak around 6 painkillers a day kapag “meron” para lang makapasok sa work, I find this comment really sad
1:09 Hindi lang ikaw may pinagdaraanan. Ano ka, diktador? 'Yung pain mo lang naiisip mo but this has the potential to set us back decades in terms of equality. Kawawa na naman mga babae.
Hay naku, pls implement the menstrual leave na before ako mag menopause!!! Kalerks si mr lacson. Men will NEVER have any idea how painful it is to have cramps!
How can you prove you’re having painful cramps? Im a woman and i suffered from it when I was in my teens but I took midol and powered through. After giving birth to my daughter, it completely went away. As a woman and a mom of a female who deals with this monthly, this is too much to ask from your employers. What are we being reduced to as a society? We’re teaching kids to be whiny and lazy!
Sarili mo lang iniisip mo at hindi ang iba. Alam mo ba magiging impact niyan sa mga kababaihan pagnapasa yan? Less job for them. Sinong employer gugustuhin ng mga babaeng employee? Sa IT palang mga lalaki ang pinapaboran dahil mas mahaba ang oras na nagwowork sila kesa sa babae. Sabi ng isang CEO ng tech company, she'll employ men rather than women. Cuz men stay longer at work than women.
1:34, I don’t agree with “teaching kids to be whiny and lazy”. Iba-iba ang severity ng dysmenorrhea.
If taking Midol helps you then it is not as bad as you make it to be. I suffered from dysmenorrhea then and I still do now even after having 3 kids. Hindi lang cramps but may migraine headache and diarrhea pa. Endometriosis and fibroids have been ruled out. Most likely genetics since my mom suffered from it and my daughter is suffering from it too.
There are others whose conditions are worse. In one of the companies I worked for, I had a colleague who would faint at work. If you have not experienced this, then you are not in a position to speak because you don’t understand where other women are coming from.
If this passes as a bill, I wouldn’t hire women. Plain and simple. You can’t really expect equality when you require special treatment like this. Stay at home.
Naiintindihan ko naman san nanggagaling yung mga di nakakaranas ng severe menstrual pain dito. Sana hindi nyo maranasan kasi you would not wish it to happen to yourself or someone you love. Pain from endometriosis and adenomyosis is real. It is debilitating. Yung iba nagreresign na sa kahihiyan kasi di makapagleave sa trabaho. Nadidiscriminate din. Sobrang helpful nitong menstrual leave or kung di naman kaya ay work from home para sa mga kababaihan na nakakaranas ng matinding sakit buwan buwan.
kaya nga gawin na lang sanang sick leave yang hinahanash nyo para fair sa lahat. kayo nadidiscriminate tayong mga babae eh kasi mga feelimg priviliged tayo
Sick leave naman nga siya if you think about it pero it's specific to menstrual pain. Ibig sabihin lang nirerecognize na bukod sa mga sakit na pwedeng maexperience ng isang tao eh merong nararanasan ang mga babae na di nararanasan ng iba at hindi ito dapat winawalang bahala. Siguro naman bago din ma-approve to may measures naman in place.
it should fall under sick leave.. yun nga may miscarriage same leave lng ng nanganak which I find it odd. Eto leave para sa cycle pain, paano na mga lalaki? Daming pwede ayusin eto tlaga..
Una, mahirap ang makunan. Pangalawa, maguundergo pa rin ng procedure ang babae. Iraraspa.
Ang hirap maging babae. Nandyan yung unequal pay, unequal opportunities, social expectations sa family rearing at house chores. So paano nga naman ang mga lalaki.
Health issue din kasi ito. Paano ka papasok kung may sakit ka. 5 lang ang mandatory leaves sa Pilipinas.
Anong odd? I almost died when I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I lost consciousness because of blood loss and kailangan ma stretcher and ambulance sa hospital. More than 2L yung blood loss and I had to be given 4 bags of blood. When I my OB told me that I can take a maternity leave I was very grateful because it gave me time to heal from the physical and emotional trauma.
Anon 1:45 May mga studies na nagsasabi na myth lang yang gender pay gap na yan pati yang unequal opportunity na yan. Dito lang sa office namin, same lang sweldo ng mga baguhan. Nagkakaiba na lang pag pumasok na ang performance, of course mas madaming lalaki ang willing mag-OT, willing mag relocate, while ang babae pag nabuntis na mas matagal sila na nawawala sa office, dun nagkakatalo, hindi dahil sa gender nila kungdi sa choices at decisions nila.
You find it odd na same leaves lang mayroon sa miscarriage at sa nanganak? Huwag ka sanang makunan because you don't know the pain, physically, mentally and emotionally na pinagdadaanan ng nagkamiscarriage.
5:54 This. Maybe stop listening to woke propaganda in the US and start thinking critically. Babae ako but when I don't take OT, somebody else would either a male colleague or a female colleague. Syempre bayad sila for their OT pay.
Babae ako at ayoko gawing reason lagi yung period ko. May days talaga na sobrang sakit pero ewan, we got used to it na. We women asks for equality so why do we need this extra benefit exclusive for us.
As a woman, I completely agree. This is asinine. Pushing for equality and equal pay but crying cause of menstrual cramps. Ano ba talaga? So gusto niyo sobrang comfortable? Move to a wealthy country. Be rich and stop crying about everything that doesn’t go your way.
Ano ba ito? Ganito na ba talaga tayo? Puro reklamo?
Sa west lang ganito... madaming kuda west countries about equality and feminism. We as women in the ph we dont care about those things kasi nevet naman talaga magiging equal ang babae and lalaki
7:51 Correction: women and men are equal in terms of importance, but these feminists and feeling 'Muricans act like a minor inconvenience is already a sign of inequality.
I am A woman and I feel that SL is enough but if you have serious problem when menstruating best na may advice fr doctor that they need this kind of Leave then don pwede to iapply
Hmm. If papasa to, baka isa na sa question during interview ung menstrual cycle. Di rin maalis na baka mas maging priority ang male over female applicants.
This! Male applicants talaga mapapaboran dito kasi let’s face it, babae rin ako pero mas mabilis sila kumilos, mas maliksi at mataas ang pain tolerance! At since wala silang regla, more time sa work kesa saten (if ever nga na maipasa itong panukala) kaya ang tendency less chances na ma-hire tayo kakaloka, at di naman naten sila (owners/CEOs) masisisi since this is business not charity 💁♀️
i am helping managing a local business. nakakaloka naman talaga. 105 days ang maternity leave (w pay) pwde pa nilang iextend, wala pang limit to! hahanap kami to cover her habang wala siya. wala naman sanang problema pero malaki ang increase this year ng SSS contributions. hirap na din ang mga EMPLOYERS to stay afloat. kaya hndi maiiwasan to pick male applicant kesa sa female.
I hope na mabusisi ang deliberation nito para hindi maabuso. Pero nakakalungkot ang ibang comments ng mga babae dito. I'd rather go to work kesa mamilipit sa menstrual cramps sa bed. Grabe inaabot ko sa muscle pains. Tapos sobrang dizzy pa ako pag tumatayo kasi nauubusan ako ng dugo. Mag isa pa naman ako nakatira sa apartment so I have to take care of myself alone. Hindi pwede na maabuso yan pero hindi naman ibig sabihin na absent ka dahil sa menstruation eh happy happy ka lang sa bahay.
Sis, may sick leave. Bat di mo gamitin pag inaatake ka ng pain? Wag magpakabayani sa trabaho. Resign ka ngayon, saglit lang may kapalit ka na. Leaves are there for a reason. Use them when you need them. Pero syempre di komo andyan aabusuhin naman.
grabe na sa pinas,baka ang may menstrual cramps lng dapat & may medical certificate na may chronic cramps nga ang tao.pano na ang over age na sa ganyan.if ever ano yan sabay-sabay ang employees mag leave.
yung ka work ko dati grabe yun 2 weeks wala kasi dysmenorrhea daw halos ganyan monthly madalas absent pag cinocall out siya, siya pa galit hanggang sa ayun nag awol na. may abusado din talagang empleyado minsan eh.
agree w/ this pero 1-2 days lng siguro & may merical diagnosis talaga coz not everyone got dysmenorrhea baka abusuin naman.sobrang sakit & hirap talaga pag merong cramps
Taiwan ofw here bayad talaga menstrual leave no questions asked wala din proof pgbalik ng office na paper or something, kung di mo gagamitin per month okay lang di rin sya magiging pera pag di ginamit, pag ginamit mas better! Madalas dito last minute na gala sabihin lang sorry sir can’t come to the office “mc tong” ako. Then oks na!
Kaya hindi ipapasa yang mentrual leave, dahil siguradong maraming Filipina ang magaabuso ng benefit na yan. Gaya mo. Gagamitin ang menstrual leave para gumala.
625 Wag naman sana judgmental, SL to gala may also be viewed as mental health day. Minsan you just need a day to recharge and clear the cobwebs-lalo na sa OFWs, ang hirap to be away from home.
7:30 sa tingin mo sa pagiging ofw kinulang sila sa definition ng grit at resilience? Pag sure ateng!! San planeta kaba galing? Parang wala ka sa hulog? Nalugi ba mga taiwan companies sa pag provide ng SL per month na entitled sa mga babae? Hindi naman diba so meaning it works, and could also work sa pinas. Lawakan te ang pag iisip at wag mong iismolin ang mental health na para bang excuse nalang!
This is a forum, so whether people know something personally or wala, di ka pwedeng umastang Marcos dito. Sit down. Di lang ikaw may mga sakit sa katawan.
Mahirap yan lalo na pag sa bpo. Paano kung puro kayo babae sa team tapos nagkasabay sabay yung mens niyo? Wala lang. Minsan nga di pwedeng magsabay ng leave eh kaya skeletal pa pag ph holiday 😅
I know it looks appealing pero madami downsides yan. Baka iwasan na maghire ng mga babae dahil may mat leave na may menstrual leave pa. At magiging less competitive tayo sa mga investors dahil bukod sa ang dami nating holidays meron pang additional na ganyan. Let's be honest, maraming mang-aabuso diyan.
If this will get approved, malaki ang chance na di na maghire ng babae ang mga corporate. I always have bad symtopms during my period pero usually 1 day lang. kung ipupush nila, pwede siguro 1 day but not 4 days! Natiis nga for so long na walang ganyan eh!
Employee mentality kasi ang mga Pinoy instead of entrepreneurial mentality kaya laging what’s in it for me ang iniisip. If you have the mind of an entrepreneur, hiring women would cost you more than hiring men because they’ll be paid 24 days for the menstrual leave every year on top of the 90 day maternity leave.
Pero sa katulad ko na hindi masakit tuwing may menstruation pwede ako mag kunwari? Not paid dapat pero give more unpaid sick days. Lugi ang business sa atin at baka mas mahirapan tayo makahanp ng trabaho
May special leave for women na din. I am with Ping here. Pwede naman sa sick leave. Ang dapat ireview is yung government-mandated leaves na pwede ibigay sa employees—-biruin mo 5 days a year lang including sick leave na iyan. Swerte ko lang sa company ko kasi madami kaming leave credits na binibigay both VL and SL
Ang ganda sana very helpful for women. Napakasakit pa naman ng dysmeno at kung ano ano pang sakit sa matres. Sana lang wag abusuhin if ever maipasa yung law. Cause based sa observation ko ngayon palang meron nagsisick leave kahit wala naman sakit (both men and women)
It all boils down to the kind of employees you have. Admittedly, madaming Pinoys ang mahilig mag-petiks or makwenta kaya tinatake advantage or inaabuso ang leave. This is one reason why I don’t like having a Filipino in my team.
The firm I work for now is very understanding with this health issue. We are allowed to work from home when we are suffering from dysmenorrhea. Funny enough, I don’t see any of my colleagues use this as an excuse to work from home. Most of us rarely take sick leave and cannot even use up our annual leave.
Wish ko lang pag magkaron ng Genie bukod sa maraning pera kahit isang araw mga lalaki naman magka mens at manganak. Naku maranasan nyo tlga sana lahat kahit minsan lang!
Palit sa men no. Tayo ang magiging construction workers, taga bungkal ng bukid, pangingisda, tagalinis ng bintana ng high rise buildings, electrician sa mga high voltage posts, at lahat ng mabibigat na trabaho.
Puro kayo sana lalaki naman ang ganito ganon pero pagdating sa mga heavy and dangerous work hindi niyo sila mapantayan. Modern feminist is a joke. Tapos daming reklamo ng babae at puro drama pag may prob sa opisina. At babae ako na nakikita ang mali sa nga crooked logic niyo.
OA naman ng mga comments nyo hahaha. Sa YT nga may video may kinabit na machine sa lalaking host para maka feel sya ng menstrual pains. Gulat sila eh. Ganun daw pla pinagdadaanan ng mga babae akala daw nila kse nag iinarte lang mga ksama sya hosts pag may mens.
primrose lang katapat niyan.. ako minsan nahihiya mag SL dahil sa dysmenorrhea pero vitamins/supplements lang daily nalelessen yung pain ng menstrual cycle. pero much better nga if merong menstrual leave.
May sick leave naman. Ang ipromote nila e magkaron ng separate ng sick leave and vl / pto. Most companies kasi, magkahalo na yan. Bsta may leave ka. Sa company ng husbang ko 15 leaves sila per yr pro walang classification unlike sa iba esp sa bpo, iba ang sl sa vl. Usually 15 sl 15 vl or 15 vl 10 sl.
in my case, i have to take a leave for 1 or 2 days kc nahihirapan ako pumasok. uu meron pain reliever pero need m mgtake every four hours. had experience na asa ofc ako and the pain is unbearable. i have to ask my boss na uwi nalang ako kc d k n kaya. took grab going back home kc d k na kaya pumunta sa station ng jeep or van.....kc alam ko mahihimatay nako....
eto problema satin mga pilipino. imbes na supportahan natin kapwa natin, ayaw natin kc ung iba d ma-avail.....mgkaroon nman kayo ng compassion sa kapwa nio. d lahat pera pera sa isip nio. mga inggitera
Hindi yan inggit girl. Logic yan. Sa tingin mo sinobg businessman ang gugustohin magbayad ng empleyado na may ganyan? Heck, hindi nila pinupulot ang pera para ipamigay. Mangyayari madami hindi magha-hire ng babaeng empleyado. Tsk. Sigaw ng sigaw mga feminist equall pay sa mga lalake tapos ganito?
I think ok naman na parang sick leave, kung ok ka pa din during periods you can go to work, pero if its too bad you can take the day/s off. Its more recognising that period pains can be incapacitating kasi dati its unheard of to even take days off "just because" of period pains
Maybe it’s better to extend sick leave rather than make menstrual leave. I think everyone- May matres or Wala maapreciate yun. And Kung pwede hiwalay ang vl sa sick leave. Pero in reality pag free lancer ka naman Walang leaves naman. Anyway, sana yung mga factory workers mabigyan ng longer sick leave. Mas prone kasi sila Jan.
When I reached 30's, humina na ang menstrual cramps ko. So many factors to consider. 1. Maaga ako nagka-start mag mens, at the age of 10 ang first period ko. Baka dahil dun, maaga rin ako mag menopause. 2. I have PCOS. I take pills. 3. Like I said, 30 na ako.
I'm torn sa issue na to kasi as a woman na every month nakakaexperience ng sobrang menstrual pain as in gusto ko lang humiga dahil parang may malaking bagay na malalaglag sa ano ko pag nakatayo super heavyflow din ako especially sa 2nd day na para akong umiihi sa lakas na ilang beses ko na naexperience umuwi ng duguan at tagus tagusan, severe headache napakairitableng pakiramdam bago ung mismong period pero at the same time malaki talaga ang chance na abusuhin ito siguro dapat lagyan ng provisions since di naman lahat same ng experience may mga girls na parang wala lang nakakapaggym pa during period and merong 3 days lang nagkaroon na parang wala lang at meron ding irregular na di naman buwan buwan nagkakaroon, i know kasi may mga ganun akong nakatrabaho especially ung mga bagets bagets pa and I envy them for that.
Skl, i'm one of the lucky ones na hindi nakaranas ng painful cycle ever. Dati 5-7 days ang period ko, ngayon at 35 and 2 kids, 3-4 days na lang. Ang pinakahassle lang siguro is before ako nag meds for PCOS, sobrang irregular ng period ko at wala akong PMS at all, kaya ang hassle bigla bigla ma lang ako nagkakaron. Light bleeder din ako, yung menstrual cup ko never napupuno kahit after 12 hrs
In the long run, companies will think twice of hiring women. Siguro need more pag-aralan to, i think if you are truly experiencing in pain and with medical cert, pwede!
If they will push for this, mga babae din ang kawawa kase hindi sila iha hire ng companies. Meron na din namang Magna Carta for women, that covers reproductive health ng mga babae. And lastly, being physically fit should always be a requirement sa pagtratrabaho, so if you are a person na monthly o weekly o regularly na nagkakasakit, better prioritize your health muna than work.
10:55 I don’t think out of touch si lacson, sadyang umiiral lang ang entitlement mentality ng ibang tao. Look at the big picture. Tama ang sinabi ng ibang commenters, mga babae rin ang magiging kawawa. Ako as an employer (and babae ako), I would really opt to hire male employees pag ganyan.
Ang daming drama ng ibang babaeng emplyeado sa totoo lang, dadagdagan mo pa ng additional paid leaves. Pwede naman sa sick leave kunin yun. Dagdagan ang sick leave para lahat makinabang, basta may med cert na isubmit.
Buti nalang hindi ko naranasan yan simula ng magka period ako. I think dapat may medical record ka para maka avail ka. Kasi hindi naman lahat ng babae nakakaranas ng ganyan.
Nakakatawa ang mga babae dito na more sabi na “I’m a woman too but..”. Just because hindi nyo na-experience doesn’t mean na invalid ang concern. Imagine babae ka at dapat mas alam mo ang condition ng ibang babae tapos kung mag isip ka parang lalaki na akala mo sobrang unfair ng laws that look out for your well being. Nakakalungkot!!
Parang divorce lang yan, kung kaya mo tiisin or hindi applicable sa iyo, THEN DONT FILE FOR A MENSTRUAL LEAVE. Those with debilllitating dysmenorrhea can opt to avail of this. Nasa batas naman na dapat may med cert.
May punto naman po... sana wag puro pakabig... may sick leave benefit naman if in case one need to rest due to dysmenorrhea... additional paid leave will cost too much for business owners specially for small businesses... sana maunawaan din natin... generally Philippines has the most number of paid holidays... wag na natin idagdag ang menstrual leave sa bayarin ng mga business owners...
Ano compensation sa lalaki? No menstrual and related pain, ever! Extra money every month because you don’t have to buy pads/tampons and period related expenses.
There are some cases where it is necessary, as in the case of women who have endemetriosis or severe dysmenorhhea. I will not advocate for a paid leave but to replace it with overtime or flexible replacement day, even consider it as sick leave without negative consequence.
Putting it in law as a paid leave will encourage abuse by women who don't need it and it will also cause companies to discriminate more against women in hiring, which is a backward move in our effort to let women be competitive in positions dominated by men.
Other countries are doing it and some are seriously considering it because it is a serious problem.
ReplyDeleteTrue with what we eat, use as beauty or personal products and what we inhale. Affected much ang hormones.
DeleteIt is done in some Southeast Asian nations. But in those big countries, it is unheard of. Just charge it to Sick Leave.
DeleteBUMANAT NA NAMAN MGA FEMINISTA!
DeleteMay point si ping, babae ako, pero I know OA yung mga nang bash s kanya, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS! Pero if I’m running a bussiness eh di puro boys na lang kukunin ko kasi mas efficient na sila lumalabas kesa sa babae.
DeleteThis actually send women back.. An interview here in UK was done with business men and company owners. They were ask if two applicants for the same position with the same qualifications, which would you hire, a male or female. All answered male as they business wise, they will get the same job done without dealing with monthly leave and pay for not being at work. This may be applicable if you are medically signed to have extreme pain and bleeding. Otherwise, it is viewed again as deterrent for women applying for job and raise. I am a woman and having bad periods due to growth in my ovaries but I do not like this bill.
DeleteBabae ako at lahi namin May dysmenorrhea pero parang OA na ito, pwede naman mag sick leave, aabusuhin to ng mga babaeng tamad, ano? Show proof na may regla ka sa work? Papakita mo pads mo? Kaloka!
Deletethose countries can afford them. sa ibang bansa, yung binabayad sa leaves in-earn na yan ng employee, nabawas na yan sa sahod bukod sa tax. where i am at kapag sick leave from day 2 govt na nagbabayad sa kin. do we really think kaya yan sa pilipinas?
DeleteThis bill discriminates against males. I'm a female, and I don't agree with Ping's proposed law. If menstruation cramp is so severe and debilitating, the female worker can call-in sick.
Delete1:21, it is not being feminist. Mahirap talaga ang magauffer from dysmenorrhea. Eversince I started my menstruation I suffered from dysmenorrhea and I still do until now even after having 3 kids.
DeleteTruth be told, I would rather work than be on leave and suffer from dysmenorrhea. Hindi lang cramps nararamdaman mo, may kasama pang headache and diarrhea.
1:09. it wouldn’t be fair nga naman to charge it to sick leave. Pareho lang naman ang dami ng sick leave ng babae at lalaki and yet at a disadvantage ang babae. Take my case for instance, imagine every month nagkaka-dysmenorrhea ka so that’s 12 days agad tapos you are left with 3 days, so kung nagka-flu ka or worse, nagka Covid, kulang pa ang sick leave mo na kung tutuusin, hindi mo naman kasalanan na naubos ang 12 days mo.
This is absolutely ridiculous!! A “menstrual leave”?!..what’s next? LBM leave?🙄
DeleteAdvance na po ang medicines at healthcare, may pain killers for that na. Manageable na po siya, in all forms. Kung ayaw mong uminom ng gamot, choice mo yun. Take a sick leave.
DeleteImagine having female employees na pwedeng mawala ng 2-5 days dahil dinudugo, on top of regular sick days. Good luck naman at baka mag-hire na lang ang mga companies ng mga lalake. And wag tayong paka-plastic ha? It happens!
For sure ang employer di na tatanggap ng female employee hanggat may choice.Buwan buwan mahirap e cover yung leave ah.
DeleteCase to case basis naman yan eh. And covered na ng Magna Carta Law ang women’s reproductive health wherein they can go on additional leave provided na may medical documents.
DeleteI'm employer and my employees are mostly female.Hala pano na ang business if every month nag ML tapos pano na lang kung sabay sabay mag ML.I know me malala talaga mag dysmenorrhoea pero pano naman businesses.1 to 2 tao umabsent sakit na sa ulo lalot me hinahabol eh.
DeleteLol masasama sa enterview ang Q na Is your Menstrual cycle regular or do you suffer from dysmenorrhoea?Then me pag asa ma hire yung mga menopause na.
DeleteWondering why ngayon lang siya nagcomment on this. Kasi Gabriela PL ang nag file? This measure has been filed by other lawmakers before.
ReplyDeleteBabae ako pero parang sobra naman ata yung menstrual leave.. e di bawat babae absent ng 4 days per month.. mas mahihirapan din makakuha ng trabaho ang mga babae.. tapos sisigaw ng discrimination at walang gender equality.
ReplyDeleteWala pa ring ibang bansa n may menstrual leave.. sino nakaisip nun??
Trot!
DeleteMerong ibang countries na merong menstrual leave na. Spain, Taiwan, Korea, Zambia at Indonesia.
DeleteFyi, meron na yan sa Spain
DeleteAgree...kung sino man nag-propose naghahabol lang ng boto mula sa kababaihan.
Delete1) Where did you get 4 days, based ba sa period cycle mo? The bill states "up to two days". Pwedeng I-Google.
Delete2) At dahil mago-Google ka na din, isabay mo na ang pagresearch ng mga ibang bansa na mayroong pinapatupad na menstrual leaves. It's not an outrageous concept; even a workaholic country like Korea practices it.
3) Babae din ako, and I suffer from menorrhagia. There are times when I have non-stop heavy bleeding for weeks, binigyan na ako ng iron supplements nang hindi ako maging anemic and reseta for tranexamic acid to finally stop the bleeding dahil hindi kaya ng katawan ko to do it. Although it can be hard, my condition does not stop me from working. So it would be nice if people can start being more considerate to other women, to think hindi pa tapos ang Women's Month.
4) Siguro nga may mga employers na magkakaroon ng bias, at meron ding mga empleyado na mamimihasa. But that is up to them. Why should a few bad apples spoil the bunch, eh marami pa din naman sa atin ang maayos ang work ethics?
The Spanish parliament approved the creation of a sick leave for women suffering from incapacitating periods, becoming the first country in Europe to do so.
DeleteParang sick leave din yung sa Spain.. so need ng medical cert. din
As someone who is having severe pms, I really wanted this to push through. Everytime I'm on my period hindi ako nakakatulog, i have menstrual migraine, extreme insomnia, depression at kung anu-ano sumasakit sa katawan ko.
Delete12:50 said it! If di pa din clear, please refer to her #3 again until it sinks in.
DeleteFor people screaming bloody murder na meron ng ganitong bill sa ibang European nation, sila po yon. They can afford it. Ndi mayaman na country ang Pilipinas. Mashado na po yatang pa woke tayong lahat to the detriment of our society.
Delete10 steps back para sa mga babae kasi baka mas magkadiscrimation tayo during hiring process. Business wise ikaw ba mag hire ng babae kahit pwede silang magbuntis at mag leave tapos may ganitong bill pa. Sorry pero no
DeleteTrue. Girl here And I own a business puch@ pag ganyan I’ll get all male na lang no!
DeleteKeyword: workaholic, rich countries except Indonesia and Zambia. I googled, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Spain lang meron.. This year rin lang nagkaroon ang Spain.
DeleteOne day UNPAID sa Korea, up to 2 days partial pay/unpaid sa Japan.
3 times per year sa Taiwan.. tapos dun sa iba depende na sa company ksi di rin daw sinusunod.
@12:50 ako si 12:31 sa first post above. Nag work ba tranexamic sayo? Kase saken never. I just suffered with the heavy clots every month. Sobra na din nipis ng hair ko kase very anemic na ako. It’s just a cycle. Sandali lang ok pakiramdam ko after blood transfusion. After the heavy painful flow, ayan na naman.
DeleteHindi niyo alam ano magiging cause nito? More women will not get jobs. Sinong employer ang gugustuhin mag employ ng kababaihan na laging may sick leave or menstrual leave every month? Tapos ano? Magdedemand kayo ng equal pay sa mga lalaki na walang ganyang leave at mas mahaba kung magstay sa work. What a joke.
DeletePaternity and Maternity leave merom talaga dito sa Germany, ang haba pa nga sa mga Nanay. Pero iyong Menstrual leave?! Ang OA naman.
Delete11:50 girl, try mo magkaroon ng bukol sa matres at masakit sobra ang period every month, ewan ko lang kung makapasok ka. Merong mga nahihimatay sa ganyan at maraming sinasalinan ng dugo. Ganun kalala. pasalamat ka kung hindi mo nararanasan yan so don't question something if hindi mo nararanasan. Others need it badly.
Delete1:28AM So you're saying hindi natin ikauunlad as a nation ang menstrual leave? Andami pang mas malaking hadlang sa progress natin kesa isang bill na nakakatulong sa babae noh. Massive corruption is one.
DeletePuwede yan pero bawasan ang holidays sa Pilipinas. OA yung ibang holidays kasi.
Delete12:54 ... kaso yung medcert lang minsan problema, kasi may ibang company na manghihingi tapos pipilitin ka pumunta sa hospital pra lang makakuha ... yung dagdag pahinga m sana mauubos sa hospital haha
Delete1:28, madaling sabihin na “masyadong woke” if you have not experienced how it feels to suffer every month.
DeleteGrabe naman yung detriment 1:28..ikaw ba magpapasweldo? CEO yarrrn?
Delete12:50 binibigyan mo ng idea yung mga company/employer to think twice before hiring women applicants, it’s just crazy, ano ang sunod, LBM leave?
DeleteSi 11:50 gawa gawa ng 4 days. Basahin mo nga yung bill.
Delete1:28 Ikaw ba magpapasweldo sa mga mag menstrual leave? Papatawa ka eh.
Deletesus! eto nanaman ang mga feminista! di porket may mga existing bills na sa ibang bansa ay applicable na sa Pinas.
DeleteBabae ako na nagsasuffer sa grabeng dysmenorrhea, yung tipong namimilipit talaga pero I don't support this bill. OA na sa true lang. Pwedeng sakop na yan ng sick leave. Sus
DeleteBabae ako, but as a business owner also myself, parang, hmm. Kailangang pag isipan ng mabuti yan. Pwede naman siguro mag fall yan under sick leave. O palawigin ang sick leave.
ReplyDeleteDi ka pa siguro nakakaranas ng madugo or incapacitating na period ano?
Delete2:25 Don’t assume. Marami kang hindi alam sa reproductive health ko kaya tumigil ka.
Delete"Palawigin ang sick leave." Sa ibang company kasi pwedeng naiipon ang SL. Pwede rin convertible to cash. Di ko pa nababasa etong menstrual leave pero I bet hindi ganyan.
Deletee di i file mo ng sick leave! matagal ng ginagamit na medical reason ang dysmenorrhea
DeleteAgree ako kay 2:25. Pwede naman mag fall sa sick leave. Babae ako at pag sobrang sakit ng puson ko, file na lang ng SL.
DeleteI agree, di naman sa nilalahat. Also a business owner pero ang dami kayang snowflakes na employee na abusado, bigla na lang magaabsent kahit i return to work order mo. Bibigyan ka lang ng mental health card, tapos mageexpect na back to normal lang. Kahit by labor laws pwede na iterminate sa AWOL.
Delete2:25, I’m pretty sure nakaranas or nakakaranas din ng ganun si 11:52, eh pano yung mga babae na hindi lang 2 or 4 days magka menstrual period merong inaabot ng 5-7 days, kung gusto mo ng ganung “menstrual leave” mag move out ka na ng Pinas ‘teh…it’s such a stupid kind of leave
DeleteAs a business owner, do you also find the 2 months maternity leave unfair? Seryosong tanong.
Delete12:01 Menstrual leave ang topic, hindi maternity leave. Wag mo ilihis. Non-issue ang maternity leave dahil kailangan alagaan ang newborn at mag recover ng nanay. Eh ang menstrual leave?
Delete12:01 konting alog ng utak. Iba naman ang maternity leave. Ah wait, alam mo ba meaning ng maternity ?! 😂
Delete1:14 Ok sige valid and maternity leave para alagaan ang newborn. Eh paternity leave wala ka issue. And hindi nalilihis ang topic. Leaves are leaves and validity nila ang usapan as a business owner.
DeleteAng maternity leave, napaplano ang cover well in advance.
DeleteHow do I justify paying the same across men and women of the same rank and position pero yung lalake mas efficient dahil 75-80% lang ang work ng babae every month dahil sa kabuwanan?!? So bale taasan ko na lang sahod ng lalake, ganun? Wag na akong kumuha ng babae?
1:14 Gets ko point nung nauna. Imagine 2 months wala ang babae kasi nanganak. Kung yan pa lang di na na-discriminate mga babae eh bakit gigil na gigil kayo sa 2 days off na leave. As a business owner ha. 😂
DeleteWhat happened to him out of nowhere kung ano ano pinagsasabi nya na walang sense
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, I am a female. Alam ko ang feeling ng menstrual pain. Pero medyo OA na yung menstrual leave. Aabusuhin lang yang privilege na yan. Saka hindi lahat ng babae nakakaranas ng sobrang tinding sakit to warrant a couple of days off. haynaku!
ReplyDeleteHave to agree!
DeleteKung mayroong may conditions like fibroids, pcos, cyst, etc pwede yan dahil iba talaga pakiramdam like me. Sana sis di ka magkaron ng problema sa health down there dahil ewan ko lang kung masabi mo pa yan
Delete12:45 I get it. I have a hormonal condition too. But you also have to understand na hindi lahat ng babae eh may issues gaya natin, so maaabuso talaga. Meron nga ring hindi nagkakaperiod or under forced menopause because of health issues. Pero makikinabang pa rin sila sa menstrual leave? Don’t you think it’s also unfair for the company?
DeleteSo that means you have to prove you have pcos. Women will take advantage of it and pay a doctor to certify na may pcos sila. Vicious cycle.
DeleteI agree. Not to disregard what we go through when we have our period, it can be painful and stressful, but this law is bound to be abused. How can you tell if your employee has her period? How can she prove it? Do employers have keep track of all of their employees’ menstrual cycles? Some of us don’t even get regular periods. Parang ang hirap ata nito. Some companies might opt to hire more men instead
DeleteAgree, kung ma aprobahan ito. Most likely hindi na kukunin ang mga babae sa mga kompanya pagtatrabohan. Ewan ko lang sa batas na ito.
Delete1:30am I beg to disagree. I'm a doctor and wala akong kilalang icocompromise integrity nila at nababayaran for a fake diagnosis sa med cert. We won't risk our license na pinaghirapan namin for several years for a few hundred pesos. Ang madami yung gumagamit ng pangalan namin and license number at gumagawa ng fake med cert.
Delete11:16 That's what you think LOL
Delete11:16 you’d be surprised. Naku Pinoy pa!
Delete3:32 & 4:02 IKR!
Delete11:16 nako nako akala mo lang yan, napakadaling mameke ng medcert ngayon. Mas maigi talaga is taeagan at iconfirm ng company yung AP if may records at nagpacheck up ba yung pasyente.
Delete@11:16 Remind ko lang syo si GMA.Ano nga ba diagnosis ng drs nya regarding her neck? Mga bigatin pa drs nya huh! So kamusta naman sya ngayon? Wala na neck brace d ba? 🙄😏
Delete@11:16, may OB dati nag issue ng medcert for lbm sa agent naming lalaki. Nasa Manila ang patient, while nasa Visayas si OB. Before 2010 pa ito and hindi pa ata practiced ang teleconsultation. 😜
DeleteAnon 1:20 kaya ko nga sinabi na kung may ganung conditions, pwede, meaning kung dahil lang may period eh mag-leave na, hindi pwede. Dapat may medcert regarding those conditions before mabigyan ng special leave for that na up to 2 days.
DeleteANO DAW??!??????
ReplyDeleteAdditional 24 days leave for women each year equivalent to 1 month salary. Pwede basta bigyan din ng 14th month ang mga lalaki.
ReplyDeletePwede dn basta 1 month kayo magdysmenorrhea?
Delete12:38 Lame rebuttal. Unfair naman talaga sa kanila lalo kung pareho lang ginagawang trabaho.
Delete12:38 Kung pwede siguro mag dysmenorrhea ang mga boys, willing ang mga yan in exchange of 24 days paid leave. Men have high tolerance for pain than women.
Delete12:56 baliktad ka.. mas mataas pain tolerance ng babae.
DeleteWomen actually have a higher pain tolerance compared to men bec. they give birth. It's nature and evolution.
DeleteWala ka sa hulog accla @12:38, ang siste kasi, mas papaboran ng mga may-ari ng kumpanya ang mga lalaki dahil nga more time sila na nasa work…
DeleteGaya rin sabi nung commenter sa taas, kung ganyan nga mangyari, ano naman next na ipagsisigawan nung mga Feminists at Gabriela, female empowerment, equality eme eme! Ay sus! Eh sila rin naman dahilan kumbakit ganyan nga mangyayari 💁♀️
This is sad. Kung hindi agree wag na sana mag react negatively. As someone na nakaka experience ng severe menstrual cramps, as in laklak around 6 painkillers a day kapag “meron” para lang makapasok sa work, I find this comment really sad
ReplyDeleteSame here huhu buti nga mabait company namin and boss ko pinapayagan ako mag work from home during those times pero ang hirap pa din
Delete1:09 Hindi lang ikaw may pinagdaraanan. Ano ka, diktador? 'Yung pain mo lang naiisip mo but this has the potential to set us back decades in terms of equality. Kawawa na naman mga babae.
DeleteAdditional 24 days leave for women each year equivalent to 1 month salary. Pwede basta bigyan din ng 14th month ang mga lalaki.
ReplyDeleteDami ng holidays ng pinas..bitin pa ang mga sista..
ReplyDeleteI actually agree with him. Maternity leave is okie but menstrual every month? You got to be kidding. This is how you teach workers to become lazy.
ReplyDeleteSame sentiments… parang yung proposed 4 day work week dito sa US. Its absolutely insane. We’re teaching the next generation to be whiny and lazy
Delete1:31 lazy how? e same work hours naman. kaya lang 4 days para more days for family and mental being.
DeleteHay naku, pls implement the menstrual leave na before ako mag menopause!!! Kalerks si mr lacson. Men will NEVER have any idea how painful it is to have cramps!
ReplyDeleteHow can you prove you’re having painful cramps? Im a woman and
Deletei suffered from it when I was in my teens but I took midol and powered through. After giving birth to my daughter, it completely went away. As a woman and a mom of a female who deals with this
monthly, this is too much to ask from your employers. What are we being reduced to as a society? We’re teaching kids to be whiny and lazy!
Sarili mo lang iniisip mo at hindi ang iba. Alam mo ba magiging impact niyan sa mga kababaihan pagnapasa yan? Less job for them. Sinong employer gugustuhin ng mga babaeng employee? Sa IT palang mga lalaki ang pinapaboran dahil mas mahaba ang oras na nagwowork sila kesa sa babae. Sabi ng isang CEO ng tech company, she'll employ men rather than women. Cuz men stay longer at work than women.
Delete1:34, I don’t agree with “teaching kids to be whiny and lazy”. Iba-iba ang severity ng dysmenorrhea.
DeleteIf taking Midol helps you then it is not as bad as you make it to be. I suffered from dysmenorrhea then and I still do now even after having 3 kids. Hindi lang cramps but may migraine headache and diarrhea pa. Endometriosis and fibroids have been ruled out. Most likely genetics since my mom suffered from it and my daughter is suffering from it too.
There are others whose conditions are worse. In one of the companies I worked for, I had a colleague who would faint at work. If you have not experienced this, then you are not in a position to speak because you don’t understand where other women are coming from.
If this passes as a bill, I wouldn’t hire women. Plain and simple. You can’t really expect equality when you require special treatment like this. Stay at home.
DeletePlease look up the true meaning of equality and parity before commenting. Thank you.
DeleteI am a woman too, but I think this can be easily taken advantage of. Maybe they should look into extending sick leaves for all genders instead.
ReplyDeleteNaiintindihan ko naman san nanggagaling yung mga di nakakaranas ng severe menstrual pain dito. Sana hindi nyo maranasan kasi you would not wish it to happen to yourself or someone you love. Pain from endometriosis and adenomyosis is real. It is debilitating. Yung iba nagreresign na sa kahihiyan kasi di makapagleave sa trabaho. Nadidiscriminate din. Sobrang helpful nitong menstrual leave or kung di naman kaya ay work from home para sa mga kababaihan na nakakaranas ng matinding sakit buwan buwan.
ReplyDeletekaya nga gawin na lang sanang sick leave yang hinahanash nyo para fair sa lahat. kayo nadidiscriminate tayong mga babae eh kasi mga feelimg priviliged tayo
DeleteSick leave naman nga siya if you think about it pero it's specific to menstrual pain. Ibig sabihin lang nirerecognize na bukod sa mga sakit na pwedeng maexperience ng isang tao eh merong nararanasan ang mga babae na di nararanasan ng iba at hindi ito dapat winawalang bahala. Siguro naman bago din ma-approve to may measures naman in place.
Deleteit should fall under sick leave.. yun nga may miscarriage same leave lng ng nanganak which I find it odd. Eto leave para sa cycle pain, paano na mga lalaki? Daming pwede ayusin eto tlaga..
ReplyDeleteUna, mahirap ang makunan. Pangalawa, maguundergo pa rin ng procedure ang babae. Iraraspa.
DeleteAng hirap maging babae. Nandyan yung unequal pay, unequal opportunities, social expectations sa family rearing at house chores. So paano nga naman ang mga lalaki.
Health issue din kasi ito. Paano ka papasok kung may sakit ka. 5 lang ang mandatory leaves sa Pilipinas.
Anong odd? I almost died when I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I lost consciousness because of blood loss and kailangan ma stretcher and ambulance sa hospital. More than 2L yung blood loss and I had to be given 4 bags of blood. When I my OB told me that I can take a maternity leave I was very grateful because it gave me time to heal from the physical and emotional trauma.
DeleteUntil napagdaanan mo yan, wag ka kumuda.
Anon 1:45 May mga studies na nagsasabi na myth lang yang gender pay gap na yan pati yang unequal opportunity na yan. Dito lang sa office namin, same lang sweldo ng mga baguhan. Nagkakaiba na lang pag pumasok na ang performance, of course mas madaming lalaki ang willing mag-OT, willing mag relocate, while ang babae pag nabuntis na mas matagal sila na nawawala sa office, dun nagkakatalo, hindi dahil sa gender nila kungdi sa choices at decisions nila.
DeleteYou find it odd na same leaves lang mayroon sa miscarriage at sa nanganak? Huwag ka sanang makunan because you don't know the pain, physically, mentally and emotionally na pinagdadaanan ng nagkamiscarriage.
Delete5:54 This. Maybe stop listening to woke propaganda in the US and start thinking critically. Babae ako but when I don't take OT, somebody else would either a male colleague or a female colleague. Syempre bayad sila for their OT pay.
DeleteBabae ako at ayoko gawing reason lagi yung period ko. May days talaga na sobrang sakit pero ewan, we got used to it na. We women asks for equality so why do we need this extra benefit exclusive for us.
ReplyDeletelike you said equality. so ano ang proposed compensation mo para sa mga lalake?
DeleteIt’s not about the menstrual leave but his unnecessary comment about it. Nadamay pa nga yung maternity leave. Sya kaya manganak
ReplyDeleteIsnt it ironic na gusto ng equal treatment ng mga girls at work and here they are lumamang sa mga AL...duh!gender equality daw lol
ReplyDeleteAs a woman, I completely agree.
DeleteThis is asinine. Pushing for equality and equal pay but crying cause of menstrual cramps. Ano ba talaga? So gusto niyo sobrang comfortable? Move to a wealthy country. Be rich and stop crying about everything that doesn’t go your way.
Ano ba ito? Ganito na ba talaga tayo? Puro reklamo?
1:38 tama ka. Masyado ng entitled mga tao ngayon. Gusto makuha lahat without effort.
DeleteSa west lang ganito... madaming kuda west countries about equality and feminism. We as women in the ph we dont care about those things kasi nevet naman talaga magiging equal ang babae and lalaki
Delete7:51 Correction: women and men are equal in terms of importance, but these feminists and feeling 'Muricans act like a minor inconvenience is already a sign of inequality.
DeleteI am
ReplyDeleteA woman and I feel that SL is enough but if you have serious problem when menstruating best na may advice fr doctor that they need this kind of Leave then don pwede to iapply
pwede siguro yan pero day 1 kasi during that time lang naman yung pain. i have dysmenorrhea ever since kaya i know
ReplyDeleteHmm. If papasa to, baka isa na sa question during interview ung menstrual cycle. Di rin maalis na baka mas maging priority ang male over female applicants.
ReplyDeleteThis! Male applicants talaga mapapaboran dito kasi let’s face it, babae rin ako pero mas mabilis sila kumilos, mas maliksi at mataas ang pain tolerance! At since wala silang regla, more time sa work kesa saten (if ever nga na maipasa itong panukala) kaya ang tendency less chances na ma-hire tayo kakaloka, at di naman naten sila (owners/CEOs) masisisi since this is business not charity 💁♀️
Deletei am helping managing a local business. nakakaloka naman talaga. 105 days ang maternity leave (w pay) pwde pa nilang iextend, wala pang limit to! hahanap kami to cover her habang wala siya. wala naman sanang problema pero malaki ang increase this year ng SSS contributions. hirap na din ang mga EMPLOYERS to stay afloat. kaya hndi maiiwasan to pick male applicant kesa sa female.
DeleteIsn’t this the same as sick leave?
ReplyDeleteWhat I’d really like to see is affordable and non-tax on menstrual items kasi mahal every month.
I hope na mabusisi ang deliberation nito para hindi maabuso. Pero nakakalungkot ang ibang comments ng mga babae dito. I'd rather go to work kesa mamilipit sa menstrual cramps sa bed. Grabe inaabot ko sa muscle pains. Tapos sobrang dizzy pa ako pag tumatayo kasi nauubusan ako ng dugo. Mag isa pa naman ako nakatira sa apartment so I have to take care of myself alone. Hindi pwede na maabuso yan pero hindi naman ibig sabihin na absent ka dahil sa menstruation eh happy happy ka lang sa bahay.
ReplyDeleteSis, may sick leave. Bat di mo gamitin pag inaatake ka ng pain? Wag magpakabayani sa trabaho. Resign ka ngayon, saglit lang may kapalit ka na. Leaves are there for a reason. Use them when you need them. Pero syempre di komo andyan aabusuhin naman.
Deletegrabe na sa pinas,baka ang may menstrual cramps lng dapat & may medical certificate na may chronic cramps nga ang tao.pano na ang over age na sa ganyan.if ever ano yan sabay-sabay ang employees mag leave.
ReplyDeletehow will the employer know kung may period talaga or wala? baka gawing vl ang menstruation leave. 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteyung ka work ko dati grabe yun 2 weeks wala kasi dysmenorrhea daw halos ganyan monthly madalas absent pag cinocall out siya, siya pa galit hanggang sa ayun nag awol na. may abusado din talagang empleyado minsan eh.
DeleteThey don’t. Expand sick leave, no questions asked.
Deleteagree w/ this pero 1-2 days lng siguro & may merical diagnosis talaga coz not everyone got dysmenorrhea baka abusuin naman.sobrang sakit & hirap talaga pag merong cramps
ReplyDeleteTaiwan ofw here bayad talaga menstrual leave no questions asked wala din proof pgbalik ng office na paper or something, kung di mo gagamitin per month okay lang di rin sya magiging pera pag di ginamit, pag ginamit mas better! Madalas dito last minute na gala sabihin lang sorry sir can’t come to the office “mc tong” ako. Then oks na!
ReplyDeleteKaya hindi ipapasa yang mentrual leave, dahil siguradong maraming Filipina ang magaabuso ng benefit na yan. Gaya mo. Gagamitin ang menstrual leave para gumala.
DeleteKung entitled naman per month why not, for gala or true man yang sakit sakitan sa puson swerte mo nalang! Sana ol
Delete625 Wag naman sana judgmental, SL to gala may also be viewed as mental health day. Minsan you just need a day to recharge and clear the cobwebs-lalo na sa OFWs, ang hirap to be away from home.
Delete8:01 Lahat na lang i-attribute sa mental health issues. So paano matututo ng resilience at grit mga tao?
Delete7:30 sa tingin mo sa pagiging ofw kinulang sila sa definition ng grit at resilience? Pag sure ateng!! San planeta kaba galing? Parang wala ka sa hulog? Nalugi ba mga taiwan companies sa pag provide ng SL per month na entitled sa mga babae? Hindi naman diba so meaning it works, and could also work sa pinas. Lawakan te ang pag iisip at wag mong iismolin ang mental health na para bang excuse nalang!
DeleteMeron akong endometriosis. Kung di nyo alam yan wag kayo mag comment na ignorante.
ReplyDeleteThis is a forum, so whether people know something personally or wala, di ka pwedeng umastang Marcos dito. Sit down. Di lang ikaw may mga sakit sa katawan.
DeleteMahirap yan lalo na pag sa bpo. Paano kung puro kayo babae sa team tapos nagkasabay sabay yung mens niyo? Wala lang. Minsan nga di pwedeng magsabay ng leave eh kaya skeletal pa pag ph holiday 😅
ReplyDeleteNag sync daw ang menstruation natin kapag nakapaligid sa kapwa babae hahahha
DeleteThis should be under sick leave. No need to create a new type of leave for ultra mega severe dysmmenorhea. SL. Simple. Daming arte.
ReplyDeleteKung sino man, nagsuggest nyang menstrual leave, ndi nagiisip.
ReplyDeleteI know it looks appealing pero madami downsides yan. Baka iwasan na maghire ng mga babae dahil may mat leave na may menstrual leave pa. At magiging less competitive tayo sa mga investors dahil bukod sa ang dami nating holidays meron pang additional na ganyan. Let's be honest, maraming mang-aabuso diyan.
ReplyDeleteSo ano next, girls with period sa schools aabsent na din??? I know mga rights rights pero everyone needa to chill
ReplyDeleteIf this will get approved, malaki ang chance na di na maghire ng babae ang mga corporate. I always have bad symtopms during my period pero usually 1 day lang. kung ipupush nila, pwede siguro 1 day but not 4 days! Natiis nga for so long na walang ganyan eh!
ReplyDeleteEmployee mentality kasi ang mga Pinoy instead of entrepreneurial mentality kaya laging what’s in it for me ang iniisip. If you have the mind of an entrepreneur, hiring women would cost you more than hiring men because they’ll be paid 24 days for the menstrual leave every year on top of the 90 day maternity leave.
ReplyDeleteSa dami ng holidays dyan sa PH??? Also, may sick leave naman?
ReplyDeletePero sa katulad ko na hindi masakit tuwing may menstruation pwede ako mag kunwari? Not paid dapat pero give more unpaid sick days. Lugi ang business sa atin at baka mas mahirapan tayo makahanp ng trabaho
ReplyDeleteMay special leave for women na din. I am with Ping here. Pwede naman sa sick leave. Ang dapat ireview is yung government-mandated leaves na pwede ibigay sa employees—-biruin mo 5 days a year lang including sick leave na iyan. Swerte ko lang sa company ko kasi madami kaming leave credits na binibigay both VL and SL
ReplyDeleteAng ganda sana very helpful for women. Napakasakit pa naman ng dysmeno at kung ano ano pang sakit sa matres. Sana lang wag abusuhin if ever maipasa yung law. Cause based sa observation ko ngayon palang meron nagsisick leave kahit wala naman sakit (both men and women)
ReplyDeleteSa company namin convertible to cash ang SL kaya walang nagsasakit sakitan 😄
DeleteIt all boils down to the kind of employees you have. Admittedly, madaming Pinoys ang mahilig mag-petiks or makwenta kaya tinatake advantage or inaabuso ang leave. This is one reason why I don’t like having a Filipino in my team.
ReplyDeleteThe firm I work for now is very understanding with this health issue. We are allowed to work from home when we are suffering from dysmenorrhea. Funny enough, I don’t see any of my colleagues use this as an excuse to work from home. Most of us rarely take sick leave and cannot even use up our annual leave.
Wish ko lang pag magkaron ng Genie bukod sa maraning pera kahit isang araw mga lalaki naman magka mens at manganak. Naku maranasan nyo tlga sana lahat kahit minsan lang!
ReplyDeletePalit sa men no. Tayo ang magiging construction workers, taga bungkal ng bukid, pangingisda, tagalinis ng bintana ng high rise buildings, electrician sa mga high voltage posts, at lahat ng mabibigat na trabaho.
DeleteGusto ko yan. Para manarasan kong magka-abs kahit minsan lang. Not OP.
DeletePuro kayo sana lalaki naman ang ganito ganon pero pagdating sa mga heavy and dangerous work hindi niyo sila mapantayan. Modern feminist is a joke. Tapos daming reklamo ng babae at puro drama pag may prob sa opisina. At babae ako na nakikita ang mali sa nga crooked logic niyo.
DeleteOA naman ng mga comments nyo hahaha. Sa YT nga may video may kinabit na machine sa lalaking host para maka feel sya ng menstrual pains. Gulat sila eh. Ganun daw pla pinagdadaanan ng mga babae akala daw nila kse nag iinarte lang mga ksama sya hosts pag may mens.
Deleteprimrose lang katapat niyan.. ako minsan nahihiya mag SL dahil sa dysmenorrhea pero vitamins/supplements lang daily nalelessen yung pain ng menstrual cycle. pero much better nga if merong menstrual leave.
ReplyDeleteIn the Province of La Union, PGLU employees have menstrual leave.
ReplyDeleteOk yn menstrual leave bkt un iba nag ssuffer pgka ngkaka dismenoria ang hirap pumasok nun yun iba nga nhhimatay p dhil dun
ReplyDeleteMay sick leave naman. Ang ipromote nila e magkaron ng separate ng sick leave and vl / pto. Most companies kasi, magkahalo na yan. Bsta may leave ka. Sa company ng husbang ko 15 leaves sila per yr pro walang classification unlike sa iba esp sa bpo, iba ang sl sa vl. Usually 15 sl 15 vl or 15 vl 10 sl.
ReplyDeletepilipinas ang pinakamadaming holiday tapos eto pti menstrual leave. sorry pero eto ang dahilan kya prefer ng companies i-hire mga lalaki
ReplyDeleteOkay lang sana pero hirap na hirap na ang pilipinas sa pampasweldo. Ang dami ng nagaabroad kasi ang liit ng sahod tapos magdadagdag na naman sila.
ReplyDeletein my case, i have to take a leave for 1 or 2 days kc nahihirapan ako pumasok. uu meron pain reliever pero need m mgtake every four hours. had experience na asa ofc ako and the pain is unbearable. i have to ask my boss na uwi nalang ako kc d k n kaya. took grab going back home kc d k na kaya pumunta sa station ng jeep or van.....kc alam ko mahihimatay nako....
ReplyDeleteeto problema satin mga pilipino. imbes na supportahan natin kapwa natin, ayaw natin kc ung iba d ma-avail.....mgkaroon nman kayo ng compassion sa kapwa nio. d lahat pera pera sa isip nio. mga inggitera
ReplyDeleteHindi yan inggit girl. Logic yan. Sa tingin mo sinobg businessman ang gugustohin magbayad ng empleyado na may ganyan? Heck, hindi nila pinupulot ang pera para ipamigay. Mangyayari madami hindi magha-hire ng babaeng empleyado. Tsk. Sigaw ng sigaw mga feminist equall pay sa mga lalake tapos ganito?
DeleteAgree 6:12
DeleteI think ok naman na parang sick leave, kung ok ka pa din during periods you can go to work, pero if its too bad you can take the day/s off. Its more recognising that period pains can be incapacitating kasi dati its unheard of to even take days off "just because" of period pains
ReplyDeleteMaybe it’s better to extend sick leave rather than make menstrual leave. I think everyone- May matres or Wala maapreciate yun. And Kung pwede hiwalay ang vl sa sick leave. Pero in reality pag free lancer ka naman Walang leaves naman. Anyway, sana yung mga factory workers mabigyan ng longer sick leave. Mas prone kasi sila Jan.
ReplyDeleteWhen I reached 30's, humina na ang menstrual cramps ko. So many factors to consider. 1. Maaga ako nagka-start mag mens, at the age of 10 ang first period ko. Baka dahil dun, maaga rin ako mag menopause.
ReplyDelete2. I have PCOS. I take pills.
3. Like I said, 30 na ako.
I'm torn sa issue na to kasi as a woman na every month nakakaexperience ng sobrang menstrual pain as in gusto ko lang humiga dahil parang may malaking bagay na malalaglag sa ano ko pag nakatayo super heavyflow din ako especially sa 2nd day na para akong umiihi sa lakas na ilang beses ko na naexperience umuwi ng duguan at tagus tagusan, severe headache napakairitableng pakiramdam bago ung mismong period pero at the same time malaki talaga ang chance na abusuhin ito siguro dapat lagyan ng provisions since di naman lahat same ng experience may mga girls na parang wala lang nakakapaggym pa during period and merong 3 days lang nagkaroon na parang wala lang at meron ding irregular na di naman buwan buwan nagkakaroon, i know kasi may mga ganun akong nakatrabaho especially ung mga bagets bagets pa and I envy them for that.
ReplyDeleteSkl, i'm one of the lucky ones na hindi nakaranas ng painful cycle ever. Dati 5-7 days ang period ko, ngayon at 35 and 2 kids, 3-4 days na lang. Ang pinakahassle lang siguro is before ako nag meds for PCOS, sobrang irregular ng period ko at wala akong PMS at all, kaya ang hassle bigla bigla ma lang ako nagkakaron. Light bleeder din ako, yung menstrual cup ko never napupuno kahit after 12 hrs
DeleteIn the long run, companies will think twice of hiring women. Siguro need more pag-aralan to, i think if you are truly experiencing in pain and with medical cert, pwede!
ReplyDeleteIf they will push for this, mga babae din ang kawawa kase hindi sila iha hire ng companies. Meron na din namang Magna Carta for women, that covers reproductive health ng mga babae. And lastly, being physically fit should always be a requirement sa pagtratrabaho, so if you are a person na monthly o weekly o regularly na nagkakasakit, better prioritize your health muna than work.
ReplyDeleteInstead of menstrual leave, why not make a law na kapag may menstruation, wfh muna.
ReplyDeleteOut of touch s reality imagine yan ang naging Presidente. Side A side B din to si Lacson eh
ReplyDelete10:55 I don’t think out of touch si lacson, sadyang umiiral lang ang entitlement mentality ng ibang tao. Look at the big picture. Tama ang sinabi ng ibang commenters, mga babae rin ang magiging kawawa. Ako as an employer (and babae ako), I would really opt to hire male employees pag ganyan.
DeleteAng daming drama ng ibang babaeng emplyeado sa totoo lang, dadagdagan mo pa ng additional paid leaves. Pwede naman sa sick leave kunin yun. Dagdagan ang sick leave para lahat makinabang, basta may med cert na isubmit.
Meron akong matres but this is too much over acting na 🙄
ReplyDeleteButi nalang hindi ko naranasan yan simula ng magka period ako. I think dapat may medical record ka para maka avail ka. Kasi hindi naman lahat ng babae nakakaranas ng ganyan.
ReplyDeleteNakakatawa ang mga babae dito na more sabi na “I’m a woman too but..”. Just because hindi nyo na-experience doesn’t mean na invalid ang concern. Imagine babae ka at dapat mas alam mo ang condition ng ibang babae tapos kung mag isip ka parang lalaki na akala mo sobrang unfair ng laws that look out for your well being. Nakakalungkot!!
ReplyDeletepwede naman menstrual leave but if ipupush yung with pay baka maging reason pa to for other companies not to hire females in the future
ReplyDeleteParang divorce lang yan, kung kaya mo tiisin or hindi applicable sa iyo, THEN DONT FILE FOR A MENSTRUAL LEAVE. Those with debilllitating dysmenorrhea can opt to avail of this. Nasa batas naman na dapat may med cert.
ReplyDeleteMay punto naman po... sana wag puro pakabig... may sick leave benefit naman if in case one need to rest due to dysmenorrhea... additional paid leave will cost too much for business owners specially for small businesses... sana maunawaan din natin... generally Philippines has the most number of paid holidays... wag na natin idagdag ang menstrual leave sa bayarin ng mga business owners...
ReplyDeleteAno compensation sa lalaki? No menstrual and related pain, ever!
ReplyDeleteExtra money every month because you don’t have to buy pads/tampons and period related expenses.
Baka naman sunod ng mambabatas ay, ghosting leave with pay, lels
ReplyDeletei guess i should be refraining from hiring women then. i do not want to pay salaries for work they didn't do.
ReplyDeleteThere are some cases where it is necessary, as in the case of women who have endemetriosis or severe dysmenorhhea. I will not advocate for a paid leave but to replace it with overtime or flexible replacement day, even consider it as sick leave without negative consequence.
ReplyDeletePutting it in law as a paid leave will encourage abuse by women who don't need it and it will also cause companies to discriminate more against women in hiring, which is a backward move in our effort to let women be competitive in positions dominated by men.
lately
ReplyDeletemasakit na rin ang puson ko pag nagakakron ako
if di talaga kaya nag lileave or di na lang ako mag OT
sayang din kasi nacoconvert sick leave namin
ang worry ko baka mas hindi na kunin ang mga babae sa work
nalala
ko sa dati kong group , 5 or 6 ang naka maternity leave, and nagjoke
mga boss nun, sa susunod mga guys na lang daw kukunin sa team
