Committed to support government’s Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality (Women’s EDGE) Plan for 2013-2016 under Philippine Development Plan (PDP 2011-2016), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is opening its door for women who are interested in pursuing non-traditional female professions, particularly in the heavy equipment operation.

Despite being labeled as an agency being dominated by males, the DPWH continues its advocacy towards gender equality, by providing even opportunities for men and women, through training and employment.

For so long, road maintenance was seen as “men's work” but women equipped with training are proving that they can also do the job and play an integral part in taking care of our highways.
