Name[edit]

Should this be renamed Women in the Philippines? It doesn't quite mean the same thing, but it could be part of a series that currently has Women in India, Women in Iran, Women in Japan, and Women in Pakistan. Look at those and see if the issues dealt with are similar enough to justify the name change. Rigadoun (talk) 19:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we move the name.--Lenticel (talk) 02:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the claims made in this article are somewhat debatable. interestingly, the parts that i find problematic were all from the same source (no. 1 in the footnote). how reliable is this source? 151.202.65.83 02:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ironic?[edit]

I removed the 'ironic' in how the Spaniards glorified and assigned the Virgin Mary as a role model for Filipino women. [1]. Whether it's ironic is IMHO debatable. Despite the veneration in many parts of Christianity, the importance of the Virgin Mary in Christianity is ultimately as a mother and wife and one could argue her role was ultimately second to men (specifically Jesus). Therefore, you could easily argue there's nothing ironic in the Virgin Mary as a role model since she was ultimately what Filipino women were taught to be by the Spaniards. Even if you don't agree with this view, the fact remains it is a view people may hold and therefore it's better to let the reader decide if it's ironic Nil Einne 08:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This really isnt that good[edit]

this reads like a feminist manifesto

81.155.14.129 (talk) 21:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC) This article contains no hard data- for example what does the average woman earn, what does the average man earn. 81.155.14.129 (talk) 21:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article ought to mention the proportion of women in government. This article might help http://www.unescap.org/huset/women/reports/philippines.pdf YYwikifanYY (talk) 15:38, 30 July 2012 (UTC)YYwikifanYYY[reply]

The Contributions to Philippine society section[edit]

I've eliminated this section. The first part,

Promotion of a female-inclined agenda that is beneficial to the whole of Filipino society - instead of being "specifically geared toward the well-being of Filipino women" - had been the priority of female leaders. These empowered women focused on the needs of their constituents in general, including agricultural and employment issues. In particular, they created child-friendly communities that are equipped with adequate daycare facilities and nutritional provisions. They established provincial offices for women and raised funding for these projects. At the national level of Philippine society, women leaders made progressive changes which benefited Philippine women. Corazon Aquino's 1987 executive order, known as the Family Code, "eliminated gender bias in adultery cases and introduced annulment into a country that did not permit civil divorces." Another code in 1991 suggested the creation of "sectoral representation in local councils" and the "creation of special seats" such as a representative for women and a representative for workers. However, despite of a non-implementation setback of this 1991 code, a 1992 bill was passed that allowed women to enter military academies and other male-dominated organizations. The 1992 bill also enabled Filipino women to establish credit and own land without the consent of a father or husband.

appears to have been plagarized (please see WP:Copyrights and WP:Plagarism) from http://aglobalvilmanians.multiply.com/video/item/50, which is a page on what is apparently a self-published showbiz fan site devoted to Vilma Santos.

The remainder,

Women now are also active in sports and outside activities, They are now free to engage in any activity which they think seem to fit their personalities and gain additional knowledge and skills. Before women are four clauses, only meaning they have to stay in the house to take care of the children, attend to all house chores. Now most of the Filipino women excel in any field they choose and prove to be a pride of the Philippine nation.

doesn't appear to add much. Incidentally, that tortured "Before women are four clauses" bit previously read "Before women are for closets". I think that the previous wording was meant to indicated that in past times women were relegated solely to performing household tasks. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 03:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added Information in the Contemporary Roles Section[edit]

I just added information in the Urban Setting Section and the Filipino Women and Work Section. I wanted to put more facts on Filipino Women Workers in the Philippines that wasn't just about housework.

Please look over for any errors in the information I posted. Thanks. Jmferrer1213 (talk) 17:52, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Lyndonbaines and his IP minions[edit]

His IP minions must be watched at must be block because he doing nothing but to hijack information's stay sharp ! (Jasper0070 (talk) 03:58, 25 July 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Filipino women? Not Filipina women?[edit]

I suggest we change all the "Filipinos" to "Filipinas" when referring to women on this page. I do see WP pages that refer to "Latino women" but that's antiquated in favor of "Latina", is it not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BBQboffin (talk • contribs) 05:23, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
