Caloocan’s City Ordinance 0439 prohibits individuals from not wearing any upper piece
of clothing and from wearing short shorts in public. According to reports by GMA 7’s
Mav Gonzales, the barangay has been closely monitoring and implementing the
ordinance for those who don’t wear t-shirts in public but not for those who wear short
shorts. Many netizens do not agree with this ordinance, especially now that the summer
season is here. Gabriela has also said that the government should not push for a law
that blames victims, connecting it with the growing rape culture in the Philippines. Many
