And who is going to expect them to do it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930981744751650.post-23202882430658430342008-11-24T10:10:00.000+01:002008-11-24T10:10:00.000+01:00Issai- There is still room for improvement because we are just no.6! I think anyway that it is already big that Filipina women have an equal opportunity professionally. As women, we just have to educate our future sons to share household chores. Thanks for the comment!<BR/><BR/>Shalimar- Women in Scandinavia also have a very long maternity leave around 6 months-1year. The men can take the same amount of time, I think in some countries.

These Scandinavian countries really reflect true gender equality.<BR/><BR/>When I was in Oslo I was very surprised of how many men were pushing baby prams... women go back to work they share the role... <BR/><BR/>Am a proud Filipina!!!!!Shalimarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11127022040209579412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930981744751650.post-13109856257570981192008-11-18T03:14:00.000+01:002008-11-18T03:14:00.000+01:00this is great news, but i wish the men would also take on more roles, more chores, and responsibility that women take. raising children isn't just the task of the woman, but as i've seen in my family, my dad left us to the yaya while my mom was working abroad. my dad is your perfect example of macho. more power to the filipina. i'm all for equality, but i still wish to be treated like a woman instead of a man. i'm not that macho. let's aim for equality in the eyes of the law. this is a good read http://www.pcij.org/i-report/2007/raising-men.html . it's an eye opener.issaihttp://www.ladygadfly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930981744751650.post-272389674785734982008-11-17T12:48:00.000+01:002008-11-17T12:48:00.000+01:00finally, here's something we can all be proud about! =)<BR/><BR/>if this will continue, it won't be long until filipina voices are heard globally!<BR/><BR/>thanks for posting this! <BR/><BR/>keep it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930981744751650.post-5369394694675223192008-11-16T10:35:00.000+01:002008-11-16T10:35:00.000+01:00Hi Kouji,<BR/><BR/>You are correct. Unfortunately, the Philippines seems to be an abberrant in terms of the population growth theory.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>CathyCathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06448916220192935365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930981744751650.post-14738386548066890412008-11-16T07:25:00.000+01:002008-11-16T07:25:00.000+01:00and this has implications for other issues as well. where women have more opportunities, family sizes tend to be smaller, helping to ease population growth.<BR/><BR/>and when women have more options, families in general are benefited. :)koujihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10808744780646134561noreply@blogger.com
