BG PARTYLIST 108 TO SUPPORT LABOR REFORMS, POLICIES PROTECTING WORKERS, CREATING MORE JOBS
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The Bisaya Gyud Partylist 108 on Sunday stressed its support in the country’s much needed labor reforms that would further promote the welfare of Filipino workers.
BG Partylist First Nominee Alelee Aguilar-Andanar hailed Filipino workers for their industry, sacrifices, and perseverance to work despite the health crisis. She recognized that the hardwork of Filipinos has been one of the keys to the country’s economic recovery for the past 2 years.
“Hindi lang po dito sa bansa kilala ang galing at dedikasyon ng ating mga manggagawa, kundi sa buong mundo lalo na ngayong pandemya. Ang ating mga manggagawa ang nasa frontline para labanan ang COVID-19. Ang ating mga manggagawa rin ang tumataguyod sa ating bansa para unti-unting makabangon mula sa pandemya. Salamat sa kabayanihan ng mga manggagawang Pilipino!” Andanar said.
She also committed to prioritize legislation that would help the labor sector once elected.
“Kung kami po ay palarin sa Kongreso, isusulong namin ang mga panukalang magrereporma sa sistema ng paggawa sa bansa para kayo po ay matulungang makabangon at mapaangat ang pamumuhay,” Andanar added.
“Naniniwala ako sa lakas ng ating paggawa. Kaya iprayoridad namin ang seguridad ng mga manggagawa. Dahil kapag may trabaho, mayroon ding pambili ng pagkain, tahanan, edukasyon, at pag-unlad ng buhay.,” she said.
Andanar has previously expressed support for the continuation of the Duterte administration’s Build, Build, Build program in order to sustain job opportunities in the country.
