In commemoration of Labor Day, Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday called on the nation to advocate for a work culture that sees the importance of better wages, workers’ mental health, gender-responsive policies, and career growth opportunities, among others.
“We recognize the need for more decent and quality jobs that are fulfilling and supportive of individual growth and push for the emergence of a work culture that understands the evolving demands of competing responsibilities as a global workforce and as a responsible family member,” she said. Duterte further said as “one of the most important foundations of nation-building,” the Filipino workforce’s progress and success contribute to a better economy.
