LAWS AFFECTING FOREIGNERS - What The Safe Spaces Law REALLY Is

#lawsaffectingforeigners #safespacesact #thefilipinapea #laws #philippineslaws @TheFilipinaPea
I always try to cover laws affecting foreigners, and recently the Safe Spaces Act in the Philippines has been generating controversy - but why? Is it really something to be feared, or is it just 'feel good ' legislation with no impact? Will it end up affecting the dating scene in the Philippines, or end up as one of the forgotten laws on the books? Perhaps an interview with attorney Gracey can clear things up!

People shouldn't worry about this. I have a long story, but I did have a false accusation by some random hooker that I never seen before because she was trying to defend her foreigner customer who sucker punched me in an gogo bar. She basically said I sexually assaulted (grabbed her a$$) her, but she had no proof. I had proof of him punching me in the bar (CCTV tape). Basically she couldn't prove anything and it was readily apparent she was making the whole thing up an effort to get me to drop charges against the crazy foreigner. I should add the attacker brought in multiple people to support this hookers false testimony. In the end the PNP didn't even file any charges against me. The crazy foreigner got locked up though, LOL. Ok, so that's a case of a woman straight up saying I grabbed her a$$, and they didn't press charges, and she even had multiple people lying in support of her (bearing false witness). So guys don't worry about this law if you're not the type of guy that follows women around with seriously aggressive, vulgar and menacing behavior where it's clear you're seriously out of line. Honestly this law was made up to handle people that can't behave themselves, not to set people up. Don't have PTSD because of American Feminists. Go to the Philippines and claim spiritual victory over them by finding the love of your life.

The paranoia from Westerners is understandable. I can nod, smile and say hello to a woman (ad I do everyone, man or woman jist to be friendly and polite) and be called a creep or get "the look".

Which western feminist organizations are responsible for funding the politicians who advocated and supported this western law?

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Good to see someone asking the right question - WHY was this law passed? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 The law is vague, and almost all the ‘crimes’ it mentions were already covered under existing laws. Filipinas aren’t feminists, and we don’t go around looking to charge or sue people (just the opposite, in fact), and we don’t run to the authorities every time someone ‘hurts our feelings’. The fact is, most Filipinas will never even hear of this law. Some people have suggested that it was put in place specifically to extort money from foreigners, or will be used by Filipinas seeking revenge. In my opinion, that’s not the case - why would a Filipina invoke a law that’s basically just a parking ticket? There are much easier ways to cause a LOT of trouble for a foreigner by claiming sexual assault, or that they ‘touched her children’’, using laws that have been on the books for decades. I can understand why men are suspicious of being wrongfully accused of bad behavior - I hear about it, read about it, and watch what’s going on in the west. But this particular law has no ‘teeth’. Why worry about a Filipina having a toothpick she could stick you with, when she already has a 9mm that she’s had for years? As for the government, that claim is almost silly - it will cost a lot more than $20-$200 for the government to prosecute a year-long case! So the question is - who wanted this law passed, and why? As some people have wondered, is this “the thin tip of the wedge” of progressive ideology being slipped into our culture? THAT’S what we need to worry about, not someone saying that you “looked at them funny”. Kudos for seeing the big picture, Phonetica 👍

[@phonetica]

@@TheFilipinaPea there are countless tax-payer funded western feminist organizations as well as others funded by deep pocket globalists who purport to be "advocacy" groups for human sex trafficking, slavery, smuggling, etc. But they always have an ulterior motive. They use these wedge issues to get their foot in the door of other cultures to lobby foreign governments to pass laws influenced by the west under the pretense of "human rights". The west divided the Philippines politically over Duterte's war on drugs. Now the west will pit the Filipino women and men against each other. This sounds EXACTLY like one of those laws; meant to create a war between the sexes as they have in the west. Why? Who knows, but single lonely people are good for consumer spending. Next will be light skin vs dark skin, then class warfare. A house divided (by the west) cannot stand (against the west).

The Filipina doesn't get the fine so she has no financial incentive? So no way would a Filipina blackmail a guy by threatening a false claim backed by a few of her friends? Pretty much every foreigner would pay the blackmail. There are endless stories of foreigners breaking up with a Filipina and she goes right to "I'm going to get you deported!" These laws give Filipinas a lot more power to blackmail foreigners. "Foreigners have nothing to worry about...as long as they continue to act nicely." And "nicely" is determined by the Filipina. Only 2 women can have this "no problem" perspective.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

If a Filipina was going to blackmail a foreigner, it would be rather silly to use a law with a $20 fine (that she doesn’t get) and no jail time. Wouldn’t she accuse you of rape, molestation, assault, or touching her children, instead of ‘he looked at me funny’? Yup, it’s a bad law and a step in the wrong direction, but it’s not likely to have any effect on foreigners (or locals). But as I said, time will tell 👍 I’ll be waiting right here to hear from all the men who’ve been charged with this … 😂

[@markmielke5283]

Yes TFP, but the hassle, if one is on holiday, becomes a bit like the bullet in the luggage scam where the expectation is that the foreigner feels threatened enough and would rather pay the scammers than spend his short holiday period fighting a bogus but nonetheless bothersome accusation. It seems to me that it can still be utilized as a way to blackmail foreigners, hoping they don't let it get to the law-level and thus pay something upfront.

It's good to see the lovely Gracie again. Pea, I understand why western guys are freaking out over this law. It is a mirror of laws passed here in the USA years ago. It seemed innocuous and reasonable here but, over time it's been used against men who simply were trying to meet women. For just saying things like "good morning you look nice today" to a woman in her workplace. It is why a lot of guys no longer even try to flirt with women here in the states. I'm not saying that this will also happen in the PI but it absolutely happened here. I myself have gotten verbally reprimanded for saying Maam and opening a door for a woman, That's how bad it has gotten here. I do these things anyway because I was raised to show respect to women. Sadly, things no longer make sense here. I hope you are right and this won't have the same effect there. Common courtesy and common sense are sadly dead here in the states. Good subject though.

Thank You Pea for letting us foreigners know about this law. Like others have stated - this is how it begins. Men in the US have seen laws like this one become misconstrued into something very harmful to the male gender. The more "Western" the Philippines becomes - the less likely people are to visit there. I was reprimanded 25 years ago at work for saying Merry Christmas to a female co-worker while helping decorate the office for the Holiday. She cited Sexual Harrasment agaist me. I was married with a todler at home at that time and found this ridiculous however needed the job and jumped through hoops to keep the job for my family. That incident changed my thinking and behavior of the workplace, women & the legal system in my country. And I am not alone in this experience. This law may have been created with good intentions there but it could become very tainted and abused like it is over here.

Alternatively I do agree with the Pea, for now..if your a normal dude and polite expat, we should all be fine, and this alone shouldnt prevent us from moving there permanently. Just keep tabs with the new president and laws that pass over the years to see if they keep making more laws on top of laws. Then you will get your answer. Lastly this could be a scare tactic, or fear porn to keep more men and there retirements im the united states, because I do believe more men are waking up to the bad deal they get sold on the "american dream".

Now a days people are so sue happy here in the world (Mostly North America) that it's almost against the law to look where you are going in case someone deems it as an unwanted glance! Since finding your wonderful channel and loving it so much, I have reached out and found other channels from the Philippines to learn more and verify the information through multiple sources, and my finding through all the Filipino channels I have found and livestream channel operators I have talked with, I can say that the Philippines is 100000% the place for me (If and when I can afford it) Everyone I have engaged with in livestreams, and watched on KZbin, has always been so happy and cheerful regardless what trials they are personally going through. Thank You Pea, for opening my eyes to your part of the world, and what it has to offer.

The West encourages women to see themselves as victims and men as perpetrators in every arena.

[@RCFSULAW]

I read the Act. In many areas it lacks specificity and provides to many vague areas. The biggest problem I see for foreigners is the language they use online or sexual actions exchanged online in a ldr gone wrong. For example, the foreigner finds out his girlfriend is a married cheater or has many boyfriends and he has sent her money for two years. I am sure he used the most choice words more than once directed at the Filipina after he found out. I can assure you this has happened thousands of times. I know of one time where the Fililipina's response was if you come to the Philippines I will have you deported. This is what I thought was advanced HIYA. What do you think the one foreigner typed to his ex Filipina girlfriend when in order to save face because her relationship ended she posted her ex foreigner was dead next to his photo and his friends and family called his 86 year old mother to find out how he died. This definitely happened and he was beyond irate and rightfully so. His language in response and that online exchange definitely fell under this act and could be misconstrued.

Where I live in Canada when a man is accused of some inappropriate conduct towards a woman it is usually published in the media and society treats him as if he is guilty. He will frequently loose his job, and all his friends before the court case has even begun. When he wins the case it is not published and no one knows he is innocent. Many many men’s lives have been ruined by women who falsely accuse men of sexual misconduct, and the women face no penalties for lying. That is why laws like this are so provocative to many westerners, and why they seem to overreact. Because where we live a law like this is very dangerous for a man’s reputation.

[@vulpesvulpes5177]

Welcome to the 21st century, Philippines! You too can be Woke. Here in the good old USA we got very similar laws about 10-15 years ago. Many at the city and county level. It had a chilling effect at first as it became the latest tool in the age old battle of the sexes. The ultimate she said - he said. Today most of these laws are off the books or not enforced. Why? Because every time an offended woman accused a man of making an inappropriate comment, a misdemeanor in our legal system, the miscreant male, when approached by a cop, simply stated that the woman solicited him for prostitution, a felony. The courts were choked and soon the cops simply ignored all but the most blatant situations. Many places they took the laws off the books. I predict that your country will survive this nonsense. For all the reasons you stated. You fox quote to cause reflection comes from Benjamin Franklin who stated that those who sacrifice liberty for security soon find that they have neither. It’s basically the same for safe spaces. Fox out.

Realistically, all you have to do is treat someone the way you would like to be treated and go about your day. If you're stupid enough to actually do something in public, then you obviously deserve the full extent of the punishment.

[@MarakMocam]

"leering and intrusive gazing" - in other words, that is all interpreted by the 'target', so even looking at a women CAN have you arrested if she wishes to express it as such. NOTE these are "sexual impropriety laws" meaning accusations can directly effect your ability to travel anywhere else in the world - few nations will look the other way about travelers who have been accused of harassing women in other nations. So yes, even glancing at them can get you arrested, creating a legal record. Not a joke. The same things that have many western men fleeing the west is what that law is outlining because ANYTHING can be interpreted as sexual and/or offensive. It is a very western set of conditions and leaves the interpretation of offensive up to the individual who can use it anyway they want.

[@dawster1949]

Thanks for presenting and dissecting all the facts as usual Pea. It sounds pretty sensible to me, and in line with laws in any civilised nation to protect women (and men) from predatory behaviour. The burden of proof is always with the victim. Here in the UK, only a tiny fraction of even the most extreme cases of sexual assault make it to court. Not only do victims have to prove their abuse, but are often subjected to the most humiliating scrutiny of their personal lives. That (and the chronic underfunding of our court system by our dreadful government) means it often takes years to get justice, if ever. Sounds to me like this law will only affect people who shouldn’t be behaving in that appalling way in the first place!

@@TheFilipinaPea We know how this works, we,'ve had the same law a 4 years ago. it's like boiling a frog you don't turn up the heat at once but slowly increase it over time so the frog doesn't jump out. Recently we have a law about 'explicit consent'. That means if the women doesn't voice her agreement with sexual advances she can sue you for assault afterwards (no need to prove violence or actually being raped). In most situations people don't explicitly voice what they are going to do because that can break the mood, or a woman might have sex drunk and regret it afterwards etc...

OH... my... just a bump on a bus, looking too hard, or saying someone looks nice. This is a "scary law". A foreigner will always be a second class person and if a woman is not attractive to a person who compliments on how she looks can accuse the man as harassment based on the law.

My alert goes up with I hear "safe spaces." The other alert is one of the law's issues is "intrusive gazing." What is that? If a woman goes to the beach and is wearing not much, if a guy stares at her, can he be charged? How long does he gaze, before he can be changed? I realize that it is up to the victim, but here in the States, a lawyer can always be found to make a case. And there is "social media," which can be stronger than any law. So when someone hears that there is a "safe space law," one is troubled, even if the reality in the Philippines is different..... I posted before the end bit, and see that the "safe spaces" law has concerns for you, too.

[@tonyste12]

there are many soy men here saying, if the man is a good man, he has nothing to fear, but what about a good man meets a bad woman who wants his money? They can use 'extorsion' to get money out of those supposedly 'rich foreigners'. and yes, there are many s-hole foreigners going there, that deserve to be deported etc., but making a law because you look the 'wrong way' at someone or saying the 'wrong word' is a bad idea.

I don't like it. If I just brush up against somebody accidentally in a crowd and they take offense to it I would be in a world of hurt in trouble. Even if I had no intention whatsoever of sexual gratification of any kind I'd be in a position of having to prove that it was simply an accidental contact. Furthermore I've never heard of a woman masturbating in public or flashing unless she was getting paid to do so. Also, "Rude gestures" is a pretty vague category. In fact everything about this law seems either 1) Vague and difficult to define, 2) Clearly directed at men, and or 3) Has the potential to criminalize ordinary and even unintentional interactions between men and women. Also I'm always leery of laws like this that criminalize "unwanted" attention. First of all you never know whether or not the attention you're giving somebody is wanted unless and until they tell you through actions or preferably words. Women everywhere are notorious for not saying what they mean and meaning what they say. This law clearly brings radical feminism to the Philippines in a dangerous way.

[@wiv2631]

Thank you Pea, for discussing the amazing breadth of this law. Judging by how expansive it is in coverage, I cannot imagine that it will not be abused at some point and I do not limit the possible abuse to use in a Filipino versus foreigner situation. It very well might be used in a Filipino versus Filipino enmity, jealousy or political problem in the not too distant future. Suppose a police officer observes one Filipino brushing against another while walking on a sidewalk or a bench sitter seemingly leering at another Filipino and considers either to be a violation of the law. Can she arrest the alleged perpetrator and take him or her to a jail or a holding facility? If so, how long can the person be detained? I do not doubt that these examples sound ridiculous based on current general Philippine customs, but as more and more people become aware of the broad scope of the law, the greater the probability becomes of indiscriminate abuse of the law. I have no doubt that with thousands upon thousands of foreigners visiting the Philippines, legal protections for citizens are needed, but can't these protections be provided by previously existing and more narrowly construed laws . The 2019 law just sounds too wide open to be fairly enforced. I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of Gracie or a Filipino prosecutor on the possibilities of abuses under the terms of this particular law.

From what I understand, it’s a ticketable offense, not a jailable offense, so you won’t be arrested 😊

Thanks for the heads-up, Pea. It doesn't really apply to me, though. You've heard the expression, "once bitten, twice shy"? Let's just say that I've been bitten a LOT. Now I barely nod once as a way to greet women I don't know (and I've been sneered at for doing that much... sigh). Smiling at a woman I don't know? Nope! I say "morning" or "afternoon" to women I do know, but that's it. No smile, no "good" at the beginning of those greetings, and even then I don't initiate the greeting, allowing the women to speak first. Besides the possibility of being slapped with a sexual harassment charge, there's also the other problem women have with me (stuff I've mentioned before). I barely even look at women anymore. So the ladies of the Philippines are quite safe from me, considering my experiences with women thus far. I know you've said repeatedly that Filipinas are different from Western women, but I have yet to experience that for myself. Until then, I'm definitely once bitten, twice shy. 😔💔

From what I have learned, the most likely time for a foreigner to get in trouble with a woman in the Philippines is a) guy dates woman b) guy gives money to woman c) guy breaks up with woman d) foreigner money stops. But in that case, the woman will (if angry enough) a) show up unannounced at the guy's residence or favorite location and harass or b) tell her family, which may result in extrajudicial activity. You do not want a woman's family coming after you in the Philippines because of honor/face issues. Proper behavior will avoid problems about 99.9% of the time.

The only foreigners I could see perhaps falling foul of this sort of thing are those who hang out in groups and get very drunk. Drink can make even sane people do things that would normally horrify themselves

Well said, Andrew! This poorly-written law will not become any kind of deterrent to dating Filipinas 😂👍

I guess u dont know the system in the Philippines. They will make cases in the Philippines just so the foreigners will make a settlement and give them a chunk of change. Iv seen it several times

Okay, Artistic and Creative, maybe you can explain this to me, because I keep asking people, and none of you are answering me. Question: Why would a woman use this law to extort or frame the foreigner when the penalty is $20? What kind of ‘payment’ does she think she’s going to get? Don’t you think she’d accuse him of rape or assault or something a little more serious? This just doesn’t make any sense to me 😂

People date internationally 🤯. That’s some expensive Netflix and Chill. I thought it was a 🚩 when a girl from another city wanted to date 🤣. The real 🚩 is creating a new law, when there is already a law in place. For example “Safe Place”, already exists as harassment or sexual harassment. Or “Hate Crime”, already exists as Domestic Violence or Assault. These new laws commonly address gender, gender identity, sexual preference, race, national origin, and religion… which tears apart the equality of law and protects only certain types of people. Law used to be equal… it didn’t mater what color you were, man or woman, gay or straight, Christian or something else, etc. If you really want to understand how this new movement has come about, you have to understand ESG. It stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It started as a good idea for businesses to run, but it’s been adopted by governments and pretty much radicalized. It was supposed to be a way for a company to run ethically. But, like Socialism, ESG can only work in small settings. When Socialism (and ESG) is used in large scale applications, it will create famine, protected classes of people, censorship, fascism, etc. It always sounds like a great idea until you’re going to jail for saying a bad word, wearing the wrong clothes, stand up for your values, etc. Yet the “law makers” can continue pumping their agenda of what wrong and right is, tax you insanely to fund their projects, create problems and make you believe that it’s you (that is the problem). Watch out Pea. These “new laws” are bad news. More Laws = Less Freedom. What was wrong with your current harassment and Assault Laws? Why did they have to add all those buzz words? They are creating a police state in your country under the disguise of Equality, Equity, and Fear.

Yes, we already had laws that covered these things

Hi Pea. I just watched your posting relating to, “The Safe Spaces Law”. I was originally concerned about how it concerned with, how it could affect me. Not an issue, just is common respect for others. I worked at an Electronic Laboratory in San Francisco, for 23 years. Our company hired a lawyer to come in for a day and give us a seminar on aspects of impersonal work relationships. Sorry, I have been over verbose lately. A few weeks ago, I think, I may have had a small, “microvascular ischemia”, I lost some of my vocabulary. It’s returning. Thanks for your postings, I find them very benefits with living here. I built a house, here in Dalaguete.

Exactly, Ken - don’t give it another thought 👍😊
