BACKGOUND OF THE
STUDY

Women being, and to enhance the dignity of each other. For the

those of community that lack of knowledge to identify the use of Laws are

now easily manipulated. Because of that innocent people are the number

one victim of this modernization stage. In this study help us to understand

the use of rights and the levels of knowledge on the use of Republic 8353

“The Anti Rape Law of 1997”

The Anti Rape Law of 1997 redefines as:

1. A CRIME AGAINST PERSONS

Rape violates person’s well-being and just one’s virginity and

purity.

The la considers that any person, whether a prostituted person, non-virgin

or one who has an active sexual life be victimized by rape.

2. A PUBLIC OFFENSE

By declaring that rape is a crime against persons, the law no longer

considers it as a private crime.

Anyone who has knowledge of the crime many file a case on the victim’s

behalf. The prosecution continues even if the victim drops the case or
 pardons the offender.

WHAT CONSTITUTES RAPE?

Rape is committed; By a man who shall have sexual intercourse

with a woman under any of the following circumstances.

A. Through force, threat, or intimidation;

B. When the victim deprived of reason or is unconscious.

C. Through fraudulent machination or grave abuse of author; and

D. When the victim under twelve (12) years of age or is demented, even

if one of the above circumstances are present.

By any person who, under any of the above circumstances, commits an

act of sexual assault by inserting his penis into another person’s mouth

or anal orifice, or any instrument or object, into genital or oral orifice of

another person.

WHO CAN BE RAPE?

Anyone can be a rape victim, but the incidence of rape is more

rampant in women and girls.

WHO CAN COMMIT RAPE?

Any man or woman may be held liable for rape. It is possible that a man

may rape his own wife, an act deemed as “marital rape”. The penalty for
rape in general may apply on the offender who commit marital rape.

HOW IS THE CRIME PUNISHED?

The penalty varies depending on the act itself and the

circumstances surrounding it.

Reclusion Perpetua

(Imprisonment from 20 to 40 years) is imposed on the offender if

rape is committed through sexual intercourse.

PRISON MAYOR

(Imprisonment from 6 to 12 years) is imposed on the offender if rape

was through oral or anal sex of through the use of any use of object

or instrument that was inserted into the mouth or anal orifice of the woman

or a man.

This may also be elevated to Reclusion Temporal (Imprisonment

from 12 to 20 years) or Reclusion Perpetua depending on the circumstances

surroundings the crime.
 Historically, many studies have examined about "Anti Rape Law" or known as
Republic Act 8353: The Anti Rape Law of 1997 “AN ACT EXPANDING THE
DEFINITION OF THE CRIME OF RAPE, RECLASSIFYING THE SAME AS ACRIME

 VI. DATA GATHERRING PROCEDURES

Data Gathering Procedure:

A letter of request was sent to and approved by the Adviser

of the Researcher of the Senior High School Department, which

served as the researcher’s permission to research within the

School Campus.

The survey questionnaires were distributed to the research

respondents of Senior High School of Federico N. Ceralde

Integrated School. The questionnaires. were gathered one by

one after the student answer the test questionnaires and the

surveys were scrutinized by the researchers to see that all the

needed data were filled up.

The data that were collected and checked presented,

analyzed and interpreted with the application of the following

statistical tools.
 Statistical Treatment of Data

The researchers will use the more efficient and effective methods of
analyzing data in correlation with the research objectives. The use of
appropriate statistical instrument provided a Pearson’s Product

Correlation for the organization, analysis and interpretation of research

data.

Pearson’s Product Correlation

𝑟 = 𝑛 ∑ 𝑥𝑦 − (∑ 𝑥) (∑ 𝑦) /
√ [𝑛 ∑ 𝑥 2 − (∑ 𝑥) 2] [𝑛 ∑ 𝑦 2 − (∑ 𝑦) 2]

where n = the number of pairs of data x and y = the variable x and

y = the variables

The quantity “r”, called the linear correlation coefficient, measures

the strength and the direction of a linear relationship between two

variables. The linear correlation coefficient is sometimes referred to

as the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation coefficient in honor

of its developer Karl Pearson The mathematical formula for computing

r is: 𝒓 = 𝒏 ∑ 𝒙𝒚 − (∑ 𝒙) (∑ 𝒚) √ [𝒏 ∑ 𝒙 𝟐 − (∑ 𝒙) 𝟐] [𝒏 ∑ 𝒚 𝟐 − (∑ 𝒚) 2]

where n = the number of pairs of data x and y = the variables The value

of r is such that −1 < r < +1. The + and – signs are used for the positive

linear correlation and negative linear correlations, respectively.

 Positive correlation. If x and y have a strong positive linear

correlation, r is close to the +1 An r value of exactly +1 indicates a

perfect positive fit. Positive values indicate a relationship between

x and y variables such that at values for x increases values for

y also increases. Negative correlation. If x and y have a strong

linear correlation, r is close to −1. An r value of exactly −1 indicates

a perfect negative fit. Negative values indicate a relationship between

x and y such that as the values of x increases, values for y decreases

. No correlation: If there is no linear correlation or a weak linear

correlation, r is close to 0. A value near zero means that there is a

random, non-linear relationship between the two variables.

A perfect correlation of ±1 occurs only when the data points all lie

exactly on a straight line. If r = +1, the slope is positive. If r = −1, the

slope of this line is negative

Another formula for correlation coefficient is the Spearman’s Rank – Order

Correlation named after Charles Spearman and often denoted by the Greek letter ρ
(rho), or as r s is a non-parametric measure of statistical dependence between two
variables. It assesses how well the relationship between two variables can be
described using a monotonic function. A perfect Spearman correlation of +1 or −1
occurs when each of the variables is a perfect monotone function of the other.

as conclusion drawn from the findings. The recommendations of the

study based from the findings and conclusions of the study.

Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to is determine the Levels of

Knowledge on the use (HUMSS) of Federico N. Ceralde Integrated

School. This seeks to answer the following question

1.What are the Student's profile in GRADES 12 student’s in

Federico N. Ceralde Integrated School?

A. Age
B. Knowledge

Integrated School?

A. Strong

B. Weak

3.How many Levels of knowledge on the use of Anti Rape Law of

Grade 12 Female (HUMSS) in Federico N. Ceralde Integrated School?
 The Correlational method of research was used I this study.
Correlational Research is a type of non-experimental research method
, in which a researcher measures two variables, understands and asses
the statistical relationship between them with no influence from any
extraneous variable.

Findings:

Base on the study conducted by the researchers, the following

findings were drawn:

1. On the Age Profile of the Students

There is a correlation between level of knowledge and the Age of

the student.

There 16 Female student’s respondents that answered the online

survey about the study. And most of them are 18 years old and above so
the survey that we float are have a correlation between of the study.

2. On the Knowledge of the Respondents

There is a correlation between level of knowledge and the Age of the

student. Base on the solution by using the formula of Pearson’s Product

Correlation (r= -1) Perfect correlation /negative correlation that means they
have a slight knowledge about the study.
 3. On the Rating of knowledge of the Respondents

There is a correlation between level of knowledge and the

Age of the student. To get the answer the researcher’s used the
Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation. In the second question the
researcher’s used the rating or label in Very high and Vey low.

According from the solution that the researcher calculated the final

was p (rho)=-0.9 Very High n/negative correlation that means that they
have a high knowledge about the study.

Conclusion:

Based on the findings of the study, the researchers have concluded

that majority of the respondents belongs to 18- 20 years and of them are
female. The researchers also concluded that:

There is a correlation between level of knowledge and the Age of the

student. On the use of knowledge, we can protect, understand and a
achieve the truth and we deserve that word.
 Recommendation

Based in the conclusions derived from the findings of this study,

the following recommendations are made.

Promoting women’s rights and gender equality

Rape is a crime involving power relations between crime involving

power relations between the and male STRENGTHENING THE
PROVISIONS OF R.A. 8353: AMENDING THE ANTI-RAPE LAW 2 the
offender and the victim, and rooted in male dominance and female
subordination. It is no doubt, the result of disparities in the status and
situations of women and men - between the more powerful and the
oppressed. The Anti-Rape Law should be viewed from a perspective that
promotes the right of the more vulnerable groups and ensures their freedom
from violence

Responding to International Commitments

Article 2 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms

of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) calls on the States Parties
to condemn discrimination against women in all its forms, and agree to
pursue by all appropriate means and without delay a policy of
eliminating discrimination against women. While the Philippines has
made considerable progress and milestones in keeping up with
this commitment, the 2016 CEDAW Committee Concluding Observations
on the Philippines’ Combined 7th and 8th Periodic Reports raised
 concerns over the fact that statutory rape under the Anti-Rape Law of
1997 (Republic Act No. 8353) remains limited to cases wherein the
victim is under the age of 12. Thus, the CEDAW Committee
recommends expediting the amendment of the Anti-Rape Law of 1997
putting lack of consent as primary element of the definition of rape and
raising the minimum age of sexual consent which is presently set too
low at 12 years to at least 16 years.

Moreover, the United Nations Sustainable Development

Goals, particularly Goal No. 5 pertaining to Gender Equality, targets,
among others, the elimination of all forms of violence against all women
and girls in the public and private spheres including trafficking and
sexual and other types of exploitation.
Alignment with National Priorities Amending the Anti-Rape
Law is consistent with the new administration’s agenda on women’s
rights. More importantly, it responds to the mandate of Congress
under the Magna Carta of Women to amend or repeal laws
that are discriminatory to women.

POLICY RECOMMENDATION

1. PCW proposes the following salient features of the new

Anti-Rape Law:

A. Specify that rape is “a sexual assault that violates a person’s

right to personal security and bodily integrity with the essential element
of lack of consent”;
B. The crime is committed by

a. a man who has carnal knowledge of a woman without her consent,

whether or not the woman suffers injuries;

b. a man who touches or inserts his penis into the female’s inner or
outer vaginal labia, without her consent, whether or not the woman
suffers injuries;

c. a man who touches or inserts his penis into another person’s mouth
or anal orifice, without the person’s consent, whether or not the person
suffers injuries;

d. a person who inserts any instrument or object, including a finger,

into the genital or anal orifice of another person, without the latter’s
consent.

C. The crime is committed under any of the following circumstances:

a. Through lack of victim’s consent, force, threat or intimidation;

b. Through fraudulent machination or abuse of authority;

c. In coercive or other similar circumstances rendering

the complainant incapable of giving consent,
including forcing another individual to sexually assault the victim;
d. When the offended person is deprived of reason or otherwise
unconscious, or is demented even though none of the
circumstances mentioned above be present, provided that he/she is
not in his/her lucid interval during the sexual act.

e. Age of Statutory Rape: When the offended party is under sixteen

(16) years of age even though none of the circumstances mentioned
above be present;

D. Define “consent” as the voluntary agreement to engage in the sexual

activity in question, provided:
a. the person consenting fully understands what is being proposed;

b. the person consenting is aware of the societal standards of

what is proposed;

c. agreements or disagreements will be respected equally;

d. both parties enter into the relationship or proposal voluntarily;

and

e. both parties are mentally competent.

E. Specify that the use of weapon, or other external

force causing physical injuries maiming, disfigurement, or endangerment
of the life of the victim be considered as one of the aggravating
circumstances of the crime.
2. PCW also calls for the repeal of Article 266-C of the Anti-Rape Law
of 1997, pertaining to the forgiveness clause which states that:

"Article 266-C. Effect of Pardon. - The subsequent valid marriage between

the offended party shall extinguish the criminal action or the penalty
imposed. In case it is the legal husband who is the offender, the
subsequent forgiveness by the wife as the offended party shall extinguish
the criminal action or the penalty: Provided, that the crime shall
not be extinguished or the penalty shall not be abated if the marriage
is “void ab initio.”

3. An amendment to Article 266-D is also proposed to

avoid misinterpretation, to read as:

"Article 266-D. Presumptions. - Any physical overt act manifesting

resistance against the act of rape in any degree from the offended
party, or where the offended party is so situated as to render her/him
incapable of giving valid consent, may be accepted as evidence
in the prosecution of the acts punished under Article 266-A. However,
the absence of physical resistance must not be taken as consent on the
part of the complainant. "

4. PCW also calls on the Supreme Court to consider issuing a “Rule on

Trial of Rape Cases” which may include the following:

A. Application of the “rape shield rule” as provided for in Section 6 of

Republic Act 8505.
B. Guiding principles on the appreciation of evidence in rape cases.
C. Child and gender-sensitive decorum for lawyers, prosecutors,
 judges and other court personnel during trial of rape cases into a more
gender-responsive one as it addresses gaps and lapses
which its original crafters failed to consider. It is hoped that our
legislators will prioritize and favor the immediate enactment of a law to
amend the existing Anti-Rape Law provisions, in the interest of fulfilling them
mandate under the Constitution and the Magna Carta of Women, as
well as ensuring the best interest of the child.
