ERDB's [Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau] study delved on the reproductive and productive roles of women. Reproductive roles included the performance of traditional and home-based activities. Productive roles pertained to economic and nondomestic activities, such as participating in government programs and upland farm activities. Results showed that female participation in upland development was clearly recognized. Males treated women as equal and crucial partners in developing their communities. In the study, women helped much and were recognized for their role in establishing nurseries, developing plantations and maintaining and harvesting crops. As to their reproductive roles, women, as expected, did much of the household chores. However, they were indispensable when it came to marketing produce and products from their areas.
