• The respondents still engaged insubsidiary occupation despitetheir major occupation.• Milkfish production is dominatedby male workers.CEBU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY4/25/201129Cebu City, Philippines 29

• Women dominated in postharvest activities.• Male and female engage in thesame tasks in milkfishutilization.CEBU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY4/25/201130Cebu City, Philippines 30

Conclusion1. Heavy activities in milkfish productionwere still dominated by men whilelighter activities, i.e. milkfish utilization(post harvest activities) were done bywomen.2. The aquaculture activities, thoughinstructional in nature, haveaugmented the income of the CebuTechnological University.CEBU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY4/25/201131Cebu City, Philippines 31
