CEDAW/C/PHI/4 English Page 35 women in advancing to the higher level; thus, they continue to have limited opportunity to participate actively in policy-making. In the bureaucracy 101. Women outnumber men in the bureaucracy, as evidenced in the following 1994 data: Total Female Male Percentage Female 1 122 359 639 632 482 727 57 National government agencies 699 849 453 735 246 114 65 Government-owned and controlled corporations 112 858 41 064 71 794 36 Local government units 309 652 144 833 164 819 47 Major subdivision Total 102.
