The Philippines has a handful of legislations that address the problems of abuse and violence against women. One of these is Republic Act No. 9262, known as the "Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004", that provides the penalties for such offenses. The 'Anti-Rape Law of 1997' is also a good example.

Economics. although  business and industries are dominated by males still , this does not mean that the women in the Philippines are just on the sidelines. Females in business are actually on the rise. Some companies in the Philippines actually prefer to hire females due to their consistent work ethic and professionalism.
