    The document discusses laws and policies in the Philippines related to violence and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals. It outlines several relevant acts and policies, including the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 which prohibits gender-based bullying, the Child Protection Policy of 2012, and the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse Act of 1992. However, the Labor Code does not explicitly prohibit workplace discrimination based on gender identity. While the Philippines has some anti-discrimination policies, a comprehensive national law is still needed to better address issues faced by the LGBTQ community.
