Ghosting as emotional offence

Ghosting is defined under the Bill as "a form of emotional abuse when a person is engaged in a dating relationship with the opposite sex, affecting the victim's mental state."

MANILA, July 29 (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): In one of the more perplexing legislative moves, Negros Oriental Rep. Arnie Teves Jr. filed House Bill No. 611, an act declaring ghosting as an emotional offence.

Ghosting is defined under the Bill as "a form of emotional abuse when a person is engaged in a dating relationship with the opposite sex, affecting the victim's mental state". If you notice, this definition does not actually define the behaviour of ghosting, which, colloquially, is to abruptly end communications and relations with someone without notice or explanation. Furthermore, this already vague definition in the Bill also seems to limit ghosting to heterosexual relationships, making it seem like ghosting only occurs among such couples.
