C: ANALYSIS
Direction: Answer the questions below. Make sure your answers are concise and direct to the point.

1. Why is there a need to implement RA no. 3019?

 There is a need to implement this law because it is the principle that a public office is a public trust, to repress certain acts of
public officers and private persons alike which constitute graft or corrupt practices or which may lead thereto. And also, to
monitor public officials if they receive unsolicited gifts or presents of small or insignificant value offered or given as a mere
ordinary token of gratitude or friendship according to local customs or usage

2. How important is Anti-Carnapping Law in the Philippines?

The anti carnapping law is important in the Philippines is because when the crime is committed with violence, intimidation or use
of force, the imprisonment sentence is for 30 years and one day to 40 years. If the owner, driver, occupant of the carnapped
motor vehicle was killed or raped, the person found guilty would be sentenced to life imprisonment. Meanwhile, any person
involved in the concealment of the crime of carnapping would be imprisoned from six to 12 years and fined with the acquisition
cost of the motor vehicle, engine or any other part involved in the violation.

in connection with the official duties of the latter, or allowing himself to be persuaded, induced, or influenced to commit such
violation or offense.

training or education environment, demands, requests or otherwise requires any sexual favor from the other, regardless of
whether the demand, request or requirement

APPLICATION
D. ESSAY WRITING
Direction: Make an essay regarding the importance or significance of studying Republic Act no. 3019 “Anti-Graft and
Corrupt Practice Act”. Minimum of 10 sentences, make sure that it will be based on your own thoughts.
Graft and corruption are problems that have plagued the Philippines for so long as our government has been in existence. Time
and time again news outlets and media report public officials, elected or not, to be involved in acts which constitute graft,
corruption, or both. Even with the passage of Republic Act. No. 3019, otherwise known as the Anti-Graft and Corruption Law,
these problems are never solved. Arguably, it can be said that the law has minimized and suppressed graft and corruption, and
the penal provisions thereof discourage public officials from committing the same. Nevertheless, these problems persist. This
study was conducted to analyze selected Supreme Court rulings applying Republic Act No. 3019, specifically the most common
acts committed in violation thereof, the defenses set up by the accused, and the ruling of the Supreme Court as can be generally
derived from them. Content analysis was the research design used and a sample of the cases the Supreme Court decided on with
respect to Republic Act No. 3019 was studied and analyzed. Of the decided cases, 40% of the cases was resolved in favor of the
accused. The remaining 60% was resolved against them. The acts alleged against the several accused, the defenses they
interposed, and the reason for the ruling of the Supreme Court for or against them varied widely and are discussed in detail in the
respective portion.

ANALYSIS
Direction: Answer the questions below. Make sure your answers are concise and direct to the point.

1. How graft and corruption affects our society?

Corruption erodes the trust we have in the public sector to act in our best interests. It also wastes our taxes or
rates that have been earmarked for important community projects meaning we have to put up with poor quality
services or infrastructure, or we miss out altogether.

2. What can you do to prevent carnapping?

One of the tips would be Listening or watching the news could keep you updated to the modus operandi of
carnappers. Most of the carnapping syndicates change their styles to make it harder for authorities to capture them.
One of the newest carnapping modus is called “bump and ride” where car thieves would rear end a motorists vehicle,
forcing the passenger/s to exit the vehicle. The carnappers would then force their way in the victim’s vehicle and
quickly drive away with the stolen car.

3. How do you prevent harassment?

4. How do you deal with harassment?

We could deal with harassment by providing a complaint process and a swift one. Act immediately to investigate
complaints of harassment. These matters are within the purview a workplace or a school relations specialist.
Remind all training session attendees that investigations require full cooperation from the employee, the
alleged harasser and any witnesses to the alleged harassment.

5. How can harassment affect a person?

Harassment is associated with increased risk of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well
as diminished self-esteem, self-confidence, and psychological well-being. And this could have a huge impact on
your daily life
