THE Commission on Human Rights, unwavering in its advocacy of ensuring safe spaces for individuals regardless of their identities, strongly lauds the city government of Muntinlupa for passing City Ordinance No. 2023-077, also known as the 'Respeto sa Kapwa Muntinlupeño' ordinance, that aims to castigate and penalize perpetrators of unwanted sexual remarks and actions in public spaces.

In an effort to combat all forms of harassment and discrimination, especially towards women and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQAI) community, the ordinance is set to punish offenders who commit implicit and explicit homophobic, misogynistic, and sexist comments against citizens of the city of Muntinlupa. Those who are found guilty of the aforementioned offenses will make reparations in accordance with Republic Act No. 11313, otherwise known as the Safe Spaces Act.
