That's the Republic Act No. 7877. 

I think it covers social media like Facebook

If I am a victim of sexual abuse and harassment, what are the best steps to pursue legal action.

If the offensive act happened in the workplace or in any educational or training institution, the offended party may opt to report the incident to the human resources or personnel department. After all, RA 7877 mandates the employer or head of office, educational or training institution to immediately take action whenever it receives report that a case of sexual harassment happened in its premises. Otherwise, the employer or head of office, educational or training institution will be solidarily liable for damages.
Should the offended party opt to file a labor case against her employer or head of office, educational or training institution, she could file a case before the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC). In such a case, there could be a possibility of settlement, as the parties will have the opportunity of mediating.

Should the offended party opt to file a criminal case for sexual harassment, she may file a complaint affidavit to the prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor will, then, require the offender to answer. If the fiscal or prosecutor finds that there is probable cause, s/he will file a complaint with the court. It is the court who shall, consequently, issue a warrant of arrest against the offender.

An offended party may also choose to directly file a complaint in the women’s desk in police precincts should she need immediate assistance.

Notably, nothing prohibits the offended party to file a case for both sexual harassment under RA 7877 and acts of lasciviousness under the RPC, at the same time.

You should file the police report fast before it becomes too late
