    The document discusses gender issues in Philippine society. It notes that while the Philippines was once ranked highly in terms of gender equality, its ranking has decreased recently. This is likely due to the disadvantages faced by women in the workplace and political sphere. Women remain underrepresented in politics, holding only 30% of congressional seats. They also face disadvantages as laborers and unskilled workers. To truly progress, citizens must uphold equality and understand each other beyond barriers, rather than relying solely on government policies.

    Gender and society

    Gian Milan E Wong 28/04/2022

    Open Letter

    Many changes have been made to better accommodate and support other

    genders around the world. These changes are important and need to be continued. The

    Philippines has been frequently ranked as one of the top ten countries in the world, but

    this ranking has recently decreased. I could see that the problem has to do with how

    women are treated in our society and how that affects their adaptability. With this in

    mind, gender is not an issue within the border, but it is still an issue that needs to be

    addressed. In this letter, I would like to provide more information about the challenges

    faced by women in the country. Can you give more information about the problems and

    how to address them? We still don't fully understand gender identity, and we may not

    have sorted out the differences between male and female people yet.

    Politics is an important part of any community, and it is the foundation of

    creating a working nation. However, most people who have power or influence in the

    political world are usually male. Although there are cases where a woman has greater

    power than a man, such as the Philippines' first female president, Corazon Aquino, or

    the 14th President of the Philippines, Maria Gloria Macaraeg Macapagal Arroyo, with

    that in mind, we can see the country's progressiveness when it comes to the treatment

    of both sexes. Is it enough to just ask the question? Will the answer provide us with the

    information we need? There is no evidence that hCG supplementation will improve

    fertility. According to the way things are now, there are still few women in the political
    world. According to a document about the Country Partnership Strategy for the

    Philippines, which was done by the Asian Development Bank, 70% of women in

    Congress are individual politicians. The ladies of the government, the courts, the

    political importance of the dynamic positions of interest. Women's share of total

    employment in the United States was nearly 40 percent from 2006-to 2009. In 2009,

    there were about 35 million people employed in the United States. Of these, 61% were

    male and 39% were female. Among employed women, 36% are laborers and unskilled

    workers. This group includes women who work primarily in manual labor positions or

    who have low levels of education. (ADB, 2010)

    With these findings, we can see that women are more disadvantaged than

    men in the workplace, and that may be one reason why our rank has decreased. The

    idea of this letter is not to make fun of the fallings of the government, but to realize that

    we, as citizens, should also uphold a sense of equality and not rely on the government

    to make these changes happen. We must treat others with the same rights and

    behaviors that we would like to be treated. What is the underlying ideology that could

    lead to a world of equality? As humans, we have the potential to make a difference in

    the world, for good or for bad. The biggest flaw in humanity is the inability to understand

    each other, which creates a barrier that separates us from each other forever, and only

    then when we remove these barriers and finally understand each other, then we can

    have a world of peace.
