13. How does Section 23, paragraph (c) relate to Article 134 the Labor Code
which requires employers to provide family planning services?
14. Section 24 provides that in case the offender is a juridical person, the
penalties in the statute shall be imposed on the president or any responsible
officer. For each offense in Section 23, how will the corporate officer be made
responsible if there is no actual participation by the hospital board directors or
officers of such action? Does Section 24 in relation to Section 23 require
corporate action? What is the situation being contemplated in the second
paragraph of Section 24 before there can be accountability for criminal
violations?
15. Section 7 provides that access of minors to information and family
planning services must be with the written consent of parents or guardians. Is
the re a penalty in the law for those who will make these information and
services (e.g. , contraceptives) available to minors without the parent's
consent? How does this relate to Section 14 which requires the Department of
Education to formulate a curriculum which 'shall be used by public schools'
and ' may be adopted by private schools'? Is there a penalty for teaching sex
education without the parents' or guardians' written consent? Correlatively, is
there a penalty for private schools which do not teach sex education as
formulated by the DepEd considering the use of the word ' may'?
