Magtanong Kay Atty. Persida Acosta


Dear Chief Acosta,


Puwede bang malaman kung may batas ba na patungkol sa pagkilala sa pagsusuot ng hijab o iba pang tradisyonal na kasuotan? Salamat po sa iyong magiging tugon. — Janice





Dear Janice,


Ang sagot sa iyong katanungan ay matatagpuan sa Seksyon 1 ng Republic Act (R.A.) No. 12224, o ang "An Act Declaring the First Day of February of Every Year as the National Day of Awareness on Hijab and other Traditional Garments and Attire,” kung saan nakasaad na:


Section 1. The first day of February of every year is hereby declared as the "National Day of Awareness on Hijab and Other Traditional Garments and Attire" to promote diversity, awareness, and tolerance of the various religious and cultural beliefs through the wearing of indigenous and traditional clothing, head garments and coverings.”


Ayon sa nasabing probisyon ng batas, ang unang araw ng Pebrero kada taon ay idineklara bilang “National Day of Awareness on Hijab and Other Traditional Garments and Attire.” Ito ay upang itaguyod ang pagkakaiba-iba, kamalayan, at pagpaparaya sa iba't-ibang paniniwalang panrelihiyon at kultura sa pamamagitan ng pagsusuot ng mga katutubo at tradisyonal na damit, kasuotan at mga pantakip sa ulo.


Karagdagan dito, inatasan din ang chairperson ng National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP.), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), at iba pang ahensya ng gobyerno na magkaroon ng mga aktibidad o programa para sa nasabing pagdiriwang. Ito ay nakasaad sa Seksyon 2 ng nasabing batas na:


“Section 2. The Chairperson of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), in coordination with the local government units and other national government agencies, are enjoined to conduct activities and programs such as exhibits and symposiums that promote the cultural values of wearing hijab and other traditional garments and attire.”


Nais din namin idagdag na ang nasabing batas ay hindi dapat bigyang kahulugan bilang isang kalatas na magsuot o hindi magsuot ng anumang partikular na kasuotan o pananamit. Ito ay base na rin sa Seksyon 3 ng Republic Act (R.A.) No. 12224, kung saan nakasaad na:


Section 3. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the wearing or non-wearing of a particular attire, garment, or clothing.”


Sana ay nabigyan namin ng linaw ang iyong katanungan. Ang payong aming ibinigay ay base lamang sa mga impormasyon na iyong inilahad at maaaring magbago kung mababawasan o madaragdagan ang mga detalye ng iyong salaysay. 


Maraming salamat sa iyong patuloy na pagtitiwala.
