“…Notably, former President Rodrigo Duterte has asserted that the presidency is not fit for women due to perceived emotional differences (Lema, 2023). Despite some progress, women's representation in national government remains disproportionately low, compared to their male counterparts (Valente & Moreno, 2014). The increased presence of women in such roles may owe more to political dynasties than to broader opportunities and acceptance of female empowerment (Labonne et al, 2021).…”

This article explores persistent notions regarding women in the Philippines, especially concerning executive positions historically dominated by male incumbents. The article delves into the historical and influences that possibly leads to the underrepresentation of women in executive roles. This also prompts questions about the underlying perceptions guiding Filipino voting choices. Using qualitative interviews with ten male voters, the study probes gender stereotypes' their impact on evaluating candidates. The participants are divided into two categories: male Filipino voters who support female candidates (VFF) and those who do not (NVFF). Findings reveal that both groups associate male figures with agentic attributes and female figures with communal qualities. Notably, their criteria for an ideal leader differ. VFFs prioritize candidates displaying a blend of agentic and communal traits, advocating for gender-neutral inclusive leadership. Conversely, NVFFs display a bias favoring male candidates, as they link agentic attributes with leadership and predominantly assign these traits to males. VFFs' viewpoints stem from experiences with capable female leaders, whereas NVFFs' preferences draw from religious and historical influences. This study enhances understanding of Filipino male voters' perspectives, serving as a foundation for future research. Furthermore, insights gained address and rectify unjust perceptions, fostering an environment that evaluates male and female candidates on equitable terms.

“…Gender disparity in the workplace has been common knowledge for more than a decade. It is evident in the percentage of participation of women in the business world (Carter & Silva, 2010;UN Women, 2013;Hega, 2003;Valente & Moreno, 2014) and more so in the TVET industry (Egun & Tibi, 2010;Mustapha et al, 2013).…”

Gender mainstreaming in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and the labor market is a goal that is not yet fully achieved. Despite social, political, and economic changes, disparities, discrimination, and bias persist. The lack of gender responsiveness in school-based pedagogy has hindered women’s access, retention, and performance in TVET institutions. While gender imbalances exist in TVET, teachers are often unaware or unwilling to address them, implying that they lack the knowledge to deal with gender issues in practice. Thus, this study was conducted to identify the emerging gender issues that hinder gender responsiveness in technical-vocational teacher education (TVTEd) curriculum practices. The cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) was used as the theoretical lens to generate and analyze the data. The data were generated from document analysis, interviews, and focus group discussions among teachers, students, and graduates. Having gender-responsive curriculum practice as the object of the study, findings revealed that subjects (teachers) create the main contradictions in emerging gender issues. These are characterized by gender biases, stereotyping that hinders women’s progress in technical-vocational fields, and stereotypes in resources, content, and language. The subject was followed by the contradiction within the rules, tools, community, and division of labor. The study recommends interventions to hone gender responsiveness and thereby mainstream gender in TVTEd curriculum practices. Policy-practice gaps should also be studied and gender-related research in TVET and technical-vocational teacher education should be initiated and funded.
