ProtekGuard Security Services, a private security contractor, posts for an "Armored Car Driver" with the qualification "Male applicants only" citing safety considerations and the need to handle firearms. Lea Dizon, a licensed armored car driver with 7 years of experience, applies but is not shortlisted; a male applicant with 3 years of experience is hired. Lea sues, alleging a violation of Equal Work Opportunities under the 1987 Constitution, Art. XIII, Sec. 3, and the Labor Code, Art. 3. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine and constitutional provision implicated. (b) Distinguish this doctrine from equal pay for equal work and discuss any narrow exceptions that might justify sex-based job qualifications. (c) Apply the doctrine to the facts and state whether ProtekGuard is liable and what remedies Lea should seek.
