Gender inequality in the Philippine workplace has not been completely eradicated. This despite the study done by Grant Thornton International Business Report which conveyed that 37 percent of the executive positions in the Philippines are held by women.

However, there is a nagging question that I can’t shake off my mind: If gender equality is the real deal, why are there still job advertisements which require female applicants to be single? Do companies have anything against married women?
