If you are unsure as to your employment rights I'd recommend reading up, checking out your employment contract and also reading up on your country's employment laws.

Is there a human resources department you can take this concern to? Or failing that does your boss have a boss you can report him to? This might sound a little strong but if he is giving you unwanted attention you have a right to work without these unwanted comments/attention.

You know the situation best however, and from what you've written (screaming matches) he sounds volatile (managers should keep calm at all times) so yes best to be very cautious in how you handle this.

If you choose not to report his behaviour I can only suggest casually mentioning a boyfriend (even if imaginary), this may be dishonest but could be enough to put him off.
hi prefabsprout.. yup, I have checked our policies but I'm not sure which policy it falls under. I'm not interested in dating him, so the IOR policy doesn't apply. I wanted to take the conservative route first though, see if he backs off himself, before I move on to something bigger (like going to hr), since our office politics here in Manila is very evident, especially my manager has a leg up with the head manager.
