Senator Kiko Pangilinan on Friday urged the government to honor workers’ rights not only in words but in deeds as the country celebrates Labor Day on Saturday.
“Our workers show up every day and put their lives at risk so that everyone else could stay home and be safe. They deserve the protection they need,” he said.
“We should honor the dignity of labor of our Filipino workers not only in words but in deeds, not only once a year, but every day, pandemic or not,” Pangilinan said.
“This Labor Day, let’s thank and honor all those who have kept our country running this year amid the coronavirus pandemic—medical frontliners, teachers, delivery drivers, security guards, food service workers, police, work-from-home staff, entertainers, and many more workers,” he said.
“We recognize our overseas Filipino workers, who continue to brave the daily grind abroad for their families,” Pangilinan said.
He said the pathway to giving back is by “treating our workers with dignity, giving them decent wage, ensuring their protection in the workplace and alleviating the impacts of unemployment.”
