The Philippines is seen as one of Asia’s most-socially-progressive countries because of its commitment to providing citizens with secured livelihoods; the Philippine constitution guarantees individuals complete social, economic, and cultural rights. Female employees and the primary labor force are granted special rights. However, the country has a long way to go in terms of providing full social entitlement to all citizens. Furthermore, the distribution of benefits is unbalanced and only a small proportion of the population benefits.
