Criminal Liability for Discrimination Violations

Willful commission of unlawful acts under this law or its associated rules is subject to criminal penalties as stipulated in Articles 288, 289, and 135 of the Revised Penal Code.
Filing criminal charges does not prevent the aggrieved employee from independently filing a civil action for money claims, including damages and other relief.
Separate criminal and civil actions may proceed concurrently without affecting one another.

Renumbering of Existing Provisions

Sections 4 to 14 of Rule XI, Book III of the Rules Implementing P.D. 442 have been renumbered as Sections 6 to 16 respectively to accommodate new insertions.

Effectivity of the Rules

The amended rules shall take effect fifteen (15) days after publication in at least two national newspapers of general circulation.
This ensures public awareness and compliance with the updated regulations.
