Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that in implementing the Philippine Development Plan for Women (1989-1992), the Department of Labour and Employment has prioritized the promotion of equal opportunity in employment and, to this end, has undertaken a number of activities, including preparing a monograph outlining the practical ways of promoting equality in the workplace and researching to what extent wage disparities between men and women are based on sex. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the extent to which these various activities further the application of the Convention.
The Committee has also noted that a number of legislative bills have been filed in the Congress to complement and strengthen existing measures to promote equal opportunity in employment. The Committee requests the Government to furnish the texts of any legislation adopted which is relevant to the application of the Convention.
