These questions are from the US where they have strict policies.

Here is the Phils you often see ads for employers where they can say is they want a male of female and age.

Are there any real laws in the Phils that are as stricto as the ones you posted in your original thread ?

the article is misleading. it's definitely illegal in the US to ask those questions, but not here. in fact, those 10 questions are the most common questions you'll be asked in an interview. the phils does not have hiring discrimination laws. the US, on the other hand, is very strict on this. so here in our country we can miss out on jobs for flimsy reasons such as we're not attractive enough (and there's nothing illegal about that here). of course, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on which side of the fence you sit.

the US is too PC sometimes. imho, questions like are ok, so long as the interviewer doesn't get too personal about it.

Some HR personnels get too personal. Like in one of my job interviews for one of the call centers here, I was asked to narrate how I broke up with my ex.. chaka kaau!k ingon sya he wanted to know how i dealt with it daw...whaaaat?!
maybe he wanted to know how i deal with a stressful situation pero feeling ko nakig chika lang sya.. it's still too personal, in my own opinion...

Yup... sa US lang jud ni cya illegal... pero diri sa Pinas, even though dili illegal, it could be considered as unethical... Ayaw ninyo kalimti ang inyong Prof. Ethics nga subject... hehehe

wow this thread is a great help!

Those questions maybe illegal in the US but if the HR really wants to get answers on birthplace, marital status, age, etc...aren't most of these data (not all of course) available in black in white in a document called the CV / Resume'?

So if these are sensitive questions, why should an HR ask those? To confirm if the applicant is lying or not? To gauge the body language, facial expression and verbal communication skills of the applicant? Sounds like a risky gamble to me if asking questions like that can be deemed illegal.
