MANILA, Philippines — It may be an emotional offense, but “ghosters” can completely disappear from your life and continue to get away with it under a bill filed recently at the House of Representatives.

 

Under House Bill No. 611, ghosting — the colloquial term for suddenly severing connections with someone, usually in the context of a romantic relationship — is declared as a form of "emotional abuse" that carries no penalties.

 

The measure, however, limits its definition of ghosting as something that only happens to straight people who are dating. Dating, in the context of the bill, is defined as living together without being married.
