More Women Bosses In the Philippines

Regardless of cultural nuances, women rule in the Philippines. There never really was a solid patriarchal society ingrained by the Spanish or the Chinese. Majority of Filipinos still have bosses who are female and statistics show that it seems this has always been the case since the new millennium



In 2002 the ratio was 1.86 million females to 1.4 million males in supervisory and executive positions. In 2006 the ratio was 2.257 million women managers to 1.629 million men. By 2007 there were 2.281 million female managers to 1.677 million males.

Not many may admit to it but women in the Philippines have really broken the proverbial “glass ceiling” not only in the corporate world but also in the government.
