DEBESMSCAT Strengthens Gender Equity Monitoring Through Sex-Disaggregated Personnel Database

The Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa, Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) supports gender equity in employment through its established sex-disaggregated Personnel Database, maintained by the Human Resource Information System (HRIS).

As certified by the Office of Information and Communications Technology Management on December 22, 2025, the database contains official employment and demographic records of College personnel, providing a foundation for monitoring gender representation and assessing employment-related disparities.

This data management system supports the institution’s capacity to conduct gender-based compensation assessments, including monitoring salary distribution and identifying potential gender pay gaps among teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Through this initiative, DEBESMSCAT reinforces its commitment to gender-responsive human resource management, workplace equity, and Sustainable Development Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
