Abstract: The study attempts to identify the changes undergone by women in an agricultural and semi-industrial village in the province of Laguna. A comparative analysis is made using three basic orientations: domestic, public and ideological. The women have been classified into any of the following: strictly traditional, tradition-oriented, oscillating between directions, progress-oriented and overtly modern. Results tend to show that the women in the semi-industrial setting manifest more modern characteristics in all three orientations. In both villages, though, the domestic orientation continue to be the strongest, thus, restricting to a certain extent the economic and organizational participation of the women. Recommendations for planning are given using the three orientations.
