Extent of Protection
There are statutes in the Philippines which promote equal pay treatment to the sectors of women and persons with disability.
The Magna Carta for Women guarantees women’s right to decent work. Decent work involves opportunities for work that are productive and fairly remunerative as family living wage, security in the workplace, and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration, freedom for people to express their concerns, organize, participate in the decisions that affect their lives, and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men.
On the other hand, the Magna Carta for Persons with Disability mandates that qualified employee with disability shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of employment and the same compensation, privileges, benefits, fringe benefits, incentives or allowances as a qualified person without disability.
