MANILA, Philippines — A Senate bill is seeking severe penalties for discrimination, including profiling and refusing service, based on race, religion or criminal record.

 

In filing Senate Bill No. 233, Sen. Robinhood Padilla stressed the need to protect the rights of all Filipinos, adding there is no room for discrimination, which he wants penalized with a jail term of at least six years, and a fine of at least P100,000.

 

Similar measures have already been filed in the upper chamber, including Senate Bill No. 108 or the Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination bill filed by Sen. Grace Poe and Senate Bill No. 245 or the Anti-Discrimination bill filed by Sen. Loren Legarda, both of which are also pending in the committee level.
