00:00 Every day of the work, we honor the dedication and sacrifice of the Filipino workers.
00:05 But what are the government's steps to improve the lives of workers in the country?
00:13 Noemi Reyes has the details.
00:15 Every May 1, we celebrate the Workers' Day.
00:22 It is to give their dedication, ability, and courage to different fields.
00:28 We also celebrate the important role of this sector in strengthening the economy and society.
00:34 What we can do as a country is to consolidate our policies on labor, Cineda.
00:46 We should prepare the economic agencies and pool of labor well.
00:56 When it comes to higher education, they are ready.
01:00 Why are they ready? Because they know the conditions of the market.
01:04 This is what the market is looking for.
01:08 According to the latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority,
01:11 the unemployment rate in the country decreased in February compared to January.
01:16 It was also lower than the previous 100 years.
01:21 Despite this, the government should ensure the safety and decent salary of every Filipino worker
01:27 to improve the conditions of every family.
01:30 We should operate above the minimum wage requirement per region.
01:34 Let's look at the working condition.
01:37 Meanwhile, General Du's long-term solution is the right law on salary.
01:43 He is a pro bono labor lawyer and provides free legal consultation online for Filipino workers.
01:51 The increase in salary of Filipino workers is also included in the goals included in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028
02:01 which aims to reduce the unemployment rate in the country by 13.2% for 2025
02:08 and to reduce it by 9% in 2028.
02:12 As far as I know, there are already legislations in Congress and Senate.
02:20 Actually, I know that the Senate passed the 100 pesos increase in the minimum wage of Senator Zubiri.
02:28 Now, there are also 150 pesos in Congress.
02:32 I think this is the long-term solution.
02:34 In Senate Bill 2534 of Senator Jinguy Estrada, he is urging to increase the minimum wage of Filipino workers.
02:43 He is also urging to increase the minimum wage of Filipino workers.
02:47 He is also urging to increase the minimum wage of Filipino workers.
02:51 He is also urging to increase the minimum wage of Filipino workers.
02:55 He is also urging to increase the minimum wage of Filipino workers.
02:59 In Senate Bill 2534 of Senator Jinguy Estrada, he is urging to increase the minimum wage of Filipino workers in the private sector in the country by 100 pesos.
03:10 Meanwhile, Engineer Jose Maria Batino, Executive Director of the Occupational Safety and Health Center of the Department of Labor and Employment
03:20 gave the important role of the agency in the policy of saving and improving the lives of Filipino workers.
03:28 He also emphasized the importance of the companies to implement the policies in the right way and for the benefit of the workers.
03:35 For purposes of validating whether establishments are complying with occupational safety standards, including compliance with the requirement of safety officers,
03:48 there is the DoLE labor inspector.
03:52 So, the DoLE labor inspectors have that responsibility.
