•Gender refers to social, cultural, and psychological characteristics or traits related to males and females based on
certain social contexts.
• Gender roles refer to attitudes and behaviors that the society expects a person to exhibit based on his or her sex.
•In pre-colonial Philippines, males and females enjoyed the same rights and privileges. Different social functions
were assigned to different members of society. There were functions that were specifically given to males, females, or
both.
•Gender roles during the colonial period changed drastically. Women were restrained from other activities outside
their homes, while men were given more social functions. These roles also changed as the Philippines was occupied
by new colonizers.
•The present Filipino society has become more open in allowing people of different genders to dothings not based on
their sex but based on their capabilities.
