On the Legalization of Woman-Held Bank-Accounts in the PHL

Published by Philippine Commission on Women(PCW) on Nov. 18, 2024.
Requested from PCW by J. Tumang at 07:57 PM on Nov. 18, 2024.
Purpose: To Find a Definitive Answer to a Burning Question, Apparently Not Much Asked, So Without Easily-Accessible Public-Info on the Matter
Tracking no: #PCW-979102587107

I was astounded to find that it took 1963, with the "Equal Pay Act" (Public Law 88-38) for women in the U.S. to be able to legally open a bank-account, & 1974, with the "Equal Credit Opportunity Act" (Pub.L. 93-495), to do so without discrimination. How about in the Philippines? Did women in our country ever have this issue? If so, until when and with what law(s)?
