Rationale

One of the programs that the Government through the Department of Education is so
passionate about is the structuring of development programs and projects based on analyses
of gender relationships or gender and development.
Gender and Development (GAD) concerns women and their specific roles,
responsibilities, and societal expectations. It also analyzes the nature of women's contribution
within the context of work done both inside and outside the household and reflects the
public/private dichotomy that undervalues the work done by women in the home.
GAD focuses on the principle that development is for all. Everyone in society, female
or male, has the right to equal opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying life.
Gender refers to the specific set of characteristics that identifies the social behavior of
women and men and the relationship between them. Gender alludes not simply to women or
men but to the relationship between them and the way it is socially constructed. Since gender
biases exist and these biases prevent people from attaining their full potential, development is
impeded.
 Not a war of the sexes
 Not anti-Male
 Both women and men are victims although women are more than men.
 Both have a stake in the struggle for gender equality

To ensure that explicit, implicit, actual, and potential gender biases are removed, the
government has embarked on gender and development (GAD) as one of its priority programs.
It is a development perspective that recognizes the unequal status and situation of women and
men in society, and as an approach, GAD seeks to equalize the status and condition of
relations between them.
Presidential Decree (PD) No. 633, dated January 7, 1975, established the National
Commission on the Role of Filipino Women (NCRFW) now called the Philippine
Commission on Women (PCW). The said PD serves as an advisory body to the President and

his Cabinet on policies and programs for the advancement of women. It is mandated "to
review, evaluate and recommend measures, including priorities to ensure the full integration
of women for economic, social and cultural development at national, regional and
international levels, and to ensure further equality between women and men."
Executive Order (EO) 273, issued on September 9, 1995, and signed by President
Fidel V. Ramos, adopted the Philippine Plan for Gender-Responsive Development (PPGD)
1995-2025. The PPGD 1995-2015 is a 30-year perspective plan that outlines the policies,
strategies, programs, and projects that the government must adopt to enable women to
participate in and benefit from national development, while EO 273 directs all government
agencies, departments, bureaus, offices, and instrumentalities, including government-owned
and controlled corporations, at the national level, sub-national and local levels to:
 1.1 To take appropriate steps to ensure the full implementation of the
policies/strategies and programs/projects outlined in the Plan;
 1.2 To institutionalize Gender and Development (GAD) efforts in government by
incorporating GAD concerns, as spelled out in the Plan; in their planning,
programming, and budgeting processes, but specifically to:
1.2.1 Include/incorporate GAD concerns in the:
a. formulation, assessment, and updating of their annual agency plans;
b. formulation, assessment, and updating of their inputs to the medium/long-term,
development plans; and
c. preparation of their inputs to sectoral performance assessment reports, public
investment plans, and other similar documents.
1.2.2 Incorporate and reflect GAD concerns in their:
d. agency performance commitments contracts indicating key results areas for GAD as
well as in their annual performance report to the President; and
e. annual agency budget proposals and work and financial plans.
Darargutan East National High School is a school that wants to take this program
seriously and since the teachers and staff, who will be drawing up the plans, finds it hard to
do so in a place full of distractions, the administration deemed it necessary to organize the
seminar-workshop and planning, programming, and budgeting process in a place conducive
for the said activity. Hence, the proposal of a GAD seminar-workshop cum annual planning,
programming, and budgeting activity. In the proposed activity, the administration will contact
a spokesperson from the Commission on Women or any able person who can talk about
gender and development and how to make the necessary programs in implementing it.
