INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION FOR SECURING DECENT WORK AND SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT

 Securing Decent and Sustainable Employment A Key To Economic Prosperity

In photo. TUCP Vice-President and AWATU National President Temistocles Dejon. Jr., calling for Decent Work and Sustainable Employment. 

The International Labor Organization (ILO) in its advocacy to promote the Decent Work Agenda stated in its manual, a decent work is integral to efforts to reduce poverty and a key mechanism for equitable, inclusive, and sustainable development. "Decent work involves opportunities that are productive and deliver a fair income, provides security in the workplace and social protection for workers and their families, and gives people the freedom to express their concerns, to organize and to participate in decisions that affect their lives.

With apprehensions. As various national and party-list candidates filed certificates of candidacy for the 2025 mid-term elections key issues of urgent and high importance to workers and to the society must be at the forefront of their agenda to secure the so-called “labor vote”. First and foremost, for the benefit of the labor sector, Decent Work and Sustainable Employment must be included in their agendas for economic prosperity and social development.

AWATU-TUCP National President Temistocles Dejon, Jr. one of the Vice-President of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) said in a meeting organized by IndustriALL Southeast Asia office that labor and social issues are the most often neglected concerns that candidates do not want to deal with; if it is, it just falls into false promises.

Fulfilling secured employment for all that guarantees decent wages and better working conditions is close to the heart of the workers and their families as it satisfies the needs of everyone including businesses and the economy. A satisfied workforce will lead to an increase in productivity and contribute to a healthy and stable economy as workers have more money to consume in the market.

“It is thus imperative to seek multi-partisan support on the pending bill on workers’ rights to security of tenure filed by the TUCP Party List at the lower house as an enabling right to organize and to collectively bargain for better terms and conditions”, said Dejon.

"From this point onward, we will continue to engage with political aspirants to hear and debate their campaign agenda and find a common vision of economic and social prosperity that will be beneficial to workers, their families, and society." avers Dejon. 

To conclude, the ILO defines decent work as “opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and

productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security, and human dignity.” The basic principles of decent work are universal. They apply to men and women everywhere, irrespective of occupation, industry, or setting.

PUBLIC SPEAKING THE EASY WAY

Here are some great insights into Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking

Steps to Overcome Fear of Public Speaking -

Fears – The fear of being judged, making a mistake, not measuring up,  and getting hurt either mentally or physically can get in the way of a good performance (speech, seminar, sales presentation, etc). Remember that people in the audience really want you to succeed. Nobody is standing there hoping you’ll be boring or bad. If you are coming from an authentic place, and you cover the material with clarity, you’ve won 3/4 of your inner battle with fear.

Learn how to enroll and engage your audience - If you haven’t yet taken a professional development course on public speaking, consider finding a public speaking training course appropriate for your needs. Learning the art of public speaking can enhance your results in a boardroom, in a sales presentation, and even accelerate your climb up the corporate ladder. It is a must-skill for any executive and/or business owner.

Practice - Find business organizations, networks, and clubs in your area (such as Toastmasters) that can afford you the opportunity to practice. Remember to choose topics that you are already an expert on. Speaking on a topic that you are not familiar with will increase your stress, and impede on your performance.

Use recording software - Record everything on your PC/laptop. Review it to see where you can improve. Have speaking pros attend your live presentation to give you feedback. Allow yourself the opportunity to learn more every time you go out.

Remember, even the top professionals learn something new every single time they go out!

Labor Day with the President 5/1/2024

GREAT WISHES FOR BRINGING BACK UNITY ON LABOR DAY!

TUCP Vice-President Temistocles Dejon, Jr.
                                                          

 MESSAGE

To all Members: AWATU-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP)

                                                  

On behalf of the All Workers Alliance Trade Union (AWATU-TUCP). 

To my fellow workers and members. We are confronted with so many challenges and the most difficult part of that, is we appeal to our lawmakers for the P150 legislated wage hike. Congress should act now and address workers' plight with a much-needed increase to make ends meet for our beloved workers.

With this in mind, through the invitation of DOLE, I will attend Labor Day with President Bongbong Marcos to bring to his attention several kinks confronting our labor sector. There were many equally important details lined up for this Labor Day event to be held in Malacañang Palace like the signing of the Joint Development Plan and establishment of the Workers Rehabilitation Complex (WRC) and the TOWER award for those Outstanding Workers of the Philippines and I am going to be a witness to represent labor on this significant day!

As we celebrate Labor Day in the Philippines, workers are in a quandary on issues that aggravate the challenges of the labor force due to extraordinary inflation and the high cost of living that weakens the minimum wage standards in the country, especially in the provinces. Filipinos are not earning enough to cover their basic needs and to support their daily cost of living. Seasonal workers are out of work or thrown into the informal sector. Those still classified as 'employed' are trapped in precarious work which is largely short-term contractual arrangements or ENDO jobs. 

In addition, a much-needed Healthy Workplace Toolkits should be placed on hand to address the  ILO's bringing back worker safety. Funded by the Government of Japan initiative.

Hopefully, as your designated officer to the National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (NTIPC) to help us with a conduit to address those pressing problems of labor such as contractualization and immediate wage increases.

With this on hand, the AWATU-TUCP National President, Tim Dejon, Jr. is one with our visions and goals for our country with the Theme of this Labor Day - Empower the Labor Force with Decent Wages, More Jobs, and Healthy Environment!

We in the Labor Group, the AWATU-TUCP expressed our sincerest Congratulations to the new hero of the world - the labor sector. We will never forget what you have contributed to the development and progress of our country and to the workplace you are designated. With our great admiration and appreciation belongs to AWATU-TUCP and other labor sectors. Cheers to this very significant day!

TUCP APPEALS TO CONGRESS TO APPROVE A P150 DAILY WAGE HIKE FOR WORKERS

TUCP Pres. and House Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito Mendoza on Legislated Wage Increase

By Ver Garcia (News Editor)

It has been a long time, since 1989 when the last approved wage hike given was a measly amount of P25 and the highest wage increase was only P50, and that is after thirty-five  (35) years without a legislated wage hike. Congress should act now and address workers' plight to reverse these unfair labor practices.

With this impasse, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) voiced out to the House of Representatives to immediately pass House Bill No. 7871 authored by TUCP President and House Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza, which seeks to legislate an across-the-board wage hike of P150 of workers in the private sector.

According to House Deputy Speaker Mendoza, "All must share in the burden and sacrifice. But for far too long, workers and worker families have been the only ones sacrificing. Since we can remember, workers have been the whipping boys and the sacrificial lambs in building our nation. Workers have been the ones building the wealth of the very few!"

In addition, “We laud the marching orders of Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez for the House Committee on Labor and Employment to urgently and vigorously conduct public hearings as soon as possible to hear all sectors and deliberate on the much-needed increase in the take-home pay of our workers,” avers Deputy Speaker Mendoza.

There is a pressing need to increase the minimum wage of workers, particularly those in Visayas and Mindanao who are currently earning P360 a day. The measure guarantees an increase in the daily pay of more than 4 million minimum wage earners. Once this bill is passed and becomes a law, this will provide great relief to our poor and hardworking employees. Despite the opposition of employers rehash arguments.

Furthermore, Deputy Speaker Mendoza added, “As Filipino workers struggle with already-low wages eroded by inflation and various headwinds, the legislated wage hike is no longer a social or economic imperative but a moral and existential imperative, especially for our millions of mostly poor wage earners. Their honest hard work receives only poverty wages that cannot even sustain the health, productivity, and need for a decent life of their families."

The TUCP leaders headed by its Vice-President Tim Dejon, Jr., together with Sonny G. Matula, Arthur Fermo Juego, and House Labor Chair Fidel Nograles discussed the much-awaited wage increase at the House of Representative lounge. They lauded the marching orders of Speaker Martin Romualdez and Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito Mendoza to vigorously conduct public hearings to hear all sectors and deliberate on the much-needed increase in the take-home pay of our workers.

Workers deserve their just share. This is now a moral and existential struggle that Filipino workers face. It may be a steeper climb, but it is more worthy of us. It may be a higher hurdle, but it is the nobler cause to join hands and unite for a worthy cause! TUCP leaders ended

THE TATA BENJIE ABAD'S HEROISM WHEN POPE VISITED THE PHILIPPINES 

"THE CHANGE" in Barangay 308     By Ver Garcia (News Editor) and Teddy Cho (Photo Journalist)

Tata Benjie Abad

Citation and Awards as Best Special Operation Unit received by SPO4 Benjamin P. Abad with a dedication " Let us fight crime and make the difference" - Gen. Rosales

 

      In the past, the term cyber-terrorism has been used to describe the martyr who served as a watchdog for global terrorism, yet then now it's growing and overflowing, due to the fruit of neglect. The result is the destructive change of our climate, destruction of homes, disintegration of families, and critical losses in the economy.

   Good leadership is always in question. But what's important is to stay vigilant. It is in everyone's mind. Although there is a threat of global conflict, corruption, piracy of invention and of intellectual property, and artificial intelligence (AI). which causes mental breakdown and sanity of the mind and to maintain the sanity of the mind, we must believe in God as our Creator.

   According to the account of manager Edith Guerrera of Dona Josefa apartment. She accounted that their neighbors had seen smoke and fumes coming from Room 603 and the incident came to the knowledge of the brave police of  Manila assigned to Precinct Station no.9 (Intel Unit).

  In an interview on January 6, 1995. Manager Edith Guerrera of Dona Josefa apartment called Police Station No. 9, near the Manila Zoo. The neighbors were alarmed by the fumes and smoke coming from Room 603 of the Dona Josefa Apartment.  After that, Major Aida Fariscal received a call from the concerned manager Mrs. Edith. The five (5) policemen were quickly dispatched: SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando Arce and their Chief Intel leader, Major Aida Fariscal. The fire occurred at around eleven o'clock in the evening at the Doña Josefa apartment in room number 603. Major Aida D. Fariscal known as "Wonder Woman" is an expert in chemical analysis. She then dispatched SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad at the elevator, who arrested Abdul Hakim the man who was in the elevator, then SPO2 Abad immediately poked a gun in Hakim's head, to prevent the attempted plan to escape.

P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad used an improvised handcuffs to subdue Hakim. Then the ensuing fight and skirmishes at the elevator ensued until it was over. The shoestring was taken from a pair of shoes to tie the hands and feet of Abdul Hakim Murad. It occurred at around 2:30 a.m. on the 7th of January 1995. They discovered also chemicals, and liquids used in the manufacture of bombs, explosive watch, three (3) gowns of priests with an overmake of Ramzi Yousef's masks and laptops containing several pieces of information. That was the reason for their arrest of the following suspected terrorists, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Wali Khan Amin Shah, and Ramzi Yousef, the bombmaker.

The faithful day of January 7, 1995 was only five days for the scheduled official visit of Pope John Paul II on 12th January 1995 in the Philippines. The room 603 Doña Josefa apartment is approximately 200 meters away from the residence of the Pontiff, and it is the line of sight of a sniper from the route of Pope's motorcade.

Pope John Paul II (Charles Joseph Wojtyla) was a former soldier in Poland during the second world war conflict (World War II) helped bring down communism in Germany and he was also the one who caused the States to have a lien in the Soviet Union of Russia.

In the case of the brave and gallant police officers who arrested international terrorists were given a recognition for their outstanding achievements. They are SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando T. Arce and the fascinating female police Major Aida D. Fariscal joining the helm. The brave and courageous servants of the people were honored by the government of the United States and SPO2 Abad himself  through Counsellor John V. Edinger Embassy of USA in March 1995.

According to Catholic teachings... The terrorism is inhumane. It is against the right justice of no mercy to anyone.

According to Epictatus, a philosopher. "The service of one's own country does not depend on the position It is about the use of spiritual abilities and qualities." The true measure and character of a public servant is how they care for the less fortunate in society. Don't let this change of character ruin one's life., and these are just a few scenarios in the life of P/LT Benjamin P. Abad.

Overcome the difficulties with courage, courage despite the pain, anxiety, and severe anxiety. Succeeded yet also in the mission ahead, thanks to the mysterious hand of God. The service of a true servant will continue as long as he/she lives.

Any public servant must be obedient in the call of duty, with concern, with dedication and with full trust and confidence in the will of God. These are the reasons for which P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad, a retired Manila police officer, is asking the people for the mandate of his beloved Barangay 308 Zone 30 District III Quiapo, Manila. This corruption should not be allowed whenever the people are united; and cooperating, and should come together, with a sense and desire for peace, and prosperity in our hearts, minds, bodies and souls. Working together to promote the welfare and well-being of Barangay 308. to work together in accordance with the law, according to conscience to spread unity and to be able to support our own industry, and the future generations as well. LET'S THINK GLOBALLY AND LET'S UNITE AS ONE! (VerGarciaBlogs)
