    (1) Social norms in the Philippines often dictate traditional gender roles, such as women being responsible for childcare and housework, and men being the breadwinners. However, these norms are changing as more women work and contribute financially. (2) Traditionally, certain jobs were considered suitable for only men or women, leading to occupational segregation. But society is recognizing that both genders are capable of many types of work. (3) While leadership roles were often viewed as more suitable for men, some attributes like being soft-hearted were associated with women. However, both genders should have equal opportunities to take on any role.
