Abstract

This study attempts to examine the notions of gender in the first prize winning short stories in Cebuano of the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards. These stories are discussed based on the social relations of men and women in the Cebuano society. The purpose of this study is to point out the dominant gender system as well as the role of women in the man- woman relationships in the societies projected in the stories. Further, it will also have to look into sexism in language as used in the narratives and conversations in the stories. The challenges to the dominant gender system, if any, will also be revealed in this study. Lastly, the efforts to promote gender equality and the emancipation of women for better relations are also proposed.
