Is non-fullfilment of promise not to get pregnant enough ground for dismissal?
Asked by: Trums49

Some policewomen who underwent PNP-SAF Training who were unable to fulfill their written promise not to get pregnant within 2 years were mercilessly terminated from the police service. Some of them are unmarried and some are married. It appears that such written promise not to get pregnant within 2 years has no legal and constitutional bases. Now, is non-fulfillment of a written promise not to get pregnant within 2 years enough and valid ground for terminating such female police non-commissioned officers from the Philippine National Police Service?

A contract is a contract and it is always perilous to violate the terms. We can both probably see the interest of the state in having such terms. Lots of military educational systems have clauses like this but some are more gender neutral . That is the man can't assume such obligations either.
Given the history of Philippine law I doubt the Supreme Court would find it unconstitutional, but I am surprised no one has tried. Such cases often begin to turn the attitude of society around.
