Abstract: This research seeks to address the gap in teacher profiling in the Philippines by providing baseline sex-disaggregated data examined through an intersectional lens. Through an online survey of 595 teachers, data on socio-economic and demographic characteristics, indebtedness, and experiences of oppression were gathered. Descriptive statistics show that female teachers tend to have spouses with lower educational attainment. Both male and female teachers are also in debt. Although reported cases were few, they revealed intersections between sex and religion, and between sex and gender. The implications of these sex differentials for gender-responsive national policies were discussed through the lens of intersectionality, particularly in relation to teacher welfare and well-being, which includes but are not limited to increasing the salary of teachers, provision of other benefits, financial literacy trainings, gender sensitivity workshops, and other professional development activities.
