The Supreme Court (SC) has observed that “sexist” language continues to be used in documents in the judiciary despite the tribunal’s 2006 against its use.
Because of this, the SC Public Information Office (SCPIO) said in a statement that the tribunal issued a Sept. 24 memorandum order to follow the SC’s Administrative Circular No. 82-23006 that was issued on Sept. 19, 2006 pursuant to the Civil Service Commission Circular No. 12, Series of 2005.
“All official and personnel in the Judiciary are REMINDED and ENCOURAGED to use non-sexist language in all official documents, communications, and issuance,” the Court said in its memorandum,” reads the SC’s Sept. 24 memorandum.
The tribunal cited in its memorandum that “some of the official documents, communications, and issuances of the Judiciary still use sexist language” despite the seminars and modules, and distribution of manuals and materials to court officials and personnel that consistently advocated the use of gender-fair language.
The SC also directed the Philippine Judicial Academy (PhilJA) to distribute and post the official rules on use of gender fair language and examples.
“Being the Court’s judicial education arm, the PhilJA holds lectures for Court officials and personnel on gender sensitivity and its relevance in the Court’s decisions and proceedings, as well as on the use of gender-fair language,” the SCPIO explained.
