Listen to AIHO Partner Lynnell Ong talk about what our policies say, women's lived realities, and why the gap isn't always the absence of policies. Ep 2 of Her & Now by WGH Women in Global Health Philippines.

Episode 2 is out now!

Do our policies enable women to break the glass ceiling in health leadership? In Episode 2 of Her & Now: Stories from Women in Public Health, Lynnell Ong unpacks the gap between what policies promise, what actually happens in practice, and why laws alone won't close the gender leadership gap in health.

On 3 March 2026, Quezon City Rep. B**g Suntay stood before a congressional hearing and publicly voiced his sexual fantasy about a woman. He then insisted there was nothing wrong with it.

Reducing a woman to an object of sexual imagination and public sexual commentary in an official government proceeding, in front of the nation, is not a harmless comment. This is an example of how women in the Philippines constantly endure everyday sexism and objectification from strangers, acquaintances, and now even in the halls of power meant to represent and protect all Filipinos.

WGH Philippines firmly calls for a full public apology from Rep. Suntay, not just to one person, but to all Filipino women.

To every Filipino woman: you are more than what anyone says about you. We see you, and we stand with you.
