| Description | In 2007, the Philippines enacted a Magna Carta for protections of the rights of public social workers, which includes protection from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. However, gender identity remains unprotected. In 2012, the Philippines passed Order No. 40 which prohibits discrimination in schools against children on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This applies in Central Visayas. However, no other discrimination protections exist in the region. |
