The Philippine Employers- Labor Social Partners, Inc. (PELSPI), an organization of workers, employers and the academe is urging the goverment to adopt an agro-industrial policy as a solution tp create more and better jobs and enhance industry, productivity and competitiveness.


There's still time to do it and put it in place the structural foundations that the next government can build on, says the group at the Saturday forum at Annabels Restaurant in Timog, Quezon City.


What we have is the usual jobless growth were the economy is posting rising growth rates with the ranks of those who don't have jobs or who can't find jobs equally growing, says Rene Magtubo an officer of PELSPI and President of the militant Partido ng Mangagawa (Workers Party). 


Latest statistic has put unemployment rate at 12% and underemployment at 26% comprising more than 20 Million Filipinos without regular jobs.


Meneleo Carlos, (PELSPI Vice-President for employers group) and  a renowned industrialist, said that an economy that can not absorb the ranks of the unemployed is not sustainable. Mr. Carlos said that the factors that create a sustainable economy are a vibrant manufacturing sector, a modernize agro-industry, a highly trained, globally competitive and discipline work force, and an export-led not import dependent economy.
