OPOL, MISAMIS ORIENTAL โ September 3, 2026. The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board โ Region 10 (RTWPB 10) conducted its Mid-Year Performance Assessment (MYPA) and Gender and Development (GAD) Activity on September 3, 2026, at Apple Tree Resort, Opol, Misamis Oriental.
Carrying the theme, โPromoting Gender Equality and Holistic Well-being among RTWPB-X Employees,โ the GAD activity aimed to strengthen employeesโ knowledge and appreciation of Gender and Development (GAD), gender mainstreaming, and the importance of integrating gender perspectives into workplace programs, policies, and activities.
The activity featured Dr. Marichu B. Montecillo, Associate Professor V and Director of the University GAD Resource Center, Bukidnon State University, as the resource speaker. She facilitated a GAD Orientation on Gender Mainstreaming and GAD Implementation, providing RTWPB-X employees with essential concepts and practical insights on advancing gender-responsive practices within the organization.
Dr. Montecillo discussed the principles and importance of gender mainstreaming as a strategy for integrating gender perspectives into the development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policies, programs, projects, and activities. She emphasized that GAD is not a stand-alone concern but an approach that should be incorporated into the regular operations and programs of government agencies.
The orientation also provided participants with a better understanding of GAD implementation, including the importance of identifying gender issues, developing appropriate interventions, and ensuring that programs and activities respond to the different needs and experiences of women and men.
The session encouraged RTWPB 10 employees to become more conscious of gender-related concerns in the workplace and to contribute to creating an environment that promotes equality, inclusivity, respect, and equal opportunities for all.
Meanwhile, the Mid-Year Performance Assessment provided an avenue for RTWPB 10 to review its accomplishments and performance during the first half of 2026. Employees assessed the progress of their respective programs and activities, identified challenges and areas for improvement, and discussed strategies to ensure the effective implementation of targets for the succeeding months.
The integration of the MYPA and GAD activity highlighted the Boardโs commitment to achieving organizational targets while fostering a gender-responsive and employee-centered workplace. The activity recognized that promoting gender equality and employee well-being contributes to a more productive, inclusive, and effective organization.
