FOREWORD
“Malasakit, Pagbabago at Patuloy na pag-unlad” these are the
three pillars of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s comprehensive agenda for change through the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022. The PDP 2017-2022 envisions to achieve inclusive growth, high-trust and resilient society, and a globally-competitive knowledge economy by 2022. The pillars on Enhancing the Social Fabric (Malasakit) and Inequality- reducing transformation (Pagbabago) provide strategies to strengthen the protection of the rights of vulnerable sectors of society, so that they can live a life free from discrimination and fear and implement programs that encourage women to participate in the labor market.These strategies are significant illustration that the government remains true to its mandate in mainstreaming gender development in the country.
