Unjust Vexation

Public Order and Morality Offenses

Unjust vexation is a criminal offense under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, classified as a form of light coercion. It punishes an act that causes another person annoyance or irritation without causing any physical or material injury, a definition broad enough that commentators have called it a strange law, since guilt turns on the victim subjective reaction rather than on any tangible harm.
