GREAT WISHES FOR BRINGING BACK UNITY ON LABOR DAY!
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 MalacaƱang 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

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)

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 DoƱa 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.
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.

Bago pa man lumawak ang salitang cyber terrorism ay meron ng mga bayani at
martir na naglingkod bilang taga-pagbantay sa pandaigdigang terorismo, subalit
ngayon ito’y lumala na at dumagsa, bunga
ng kapabayaan. Ang naging resulta ay ang mapanirang pagbabago ng ating klima,
pagkawasak ng mga tahanan, pagkawatak-watak ng pamilya.at pagkalugi sa
kabuhayan.
Ang mabuting pamunuan ay palaging tinutuligsa subalit ang mahalaga’y mananatiling itong nasa kaisipan ng bawat isa. Bagama’t may banta ng pang-daigdigang labanan, korapsyon, pang-aagaw ng imbensyon at ari-ariang intelektuwal, at artificial intelligence (AI). Na nagdudulot ng pagkasira ng kaisipan at katinuan ng pag-iisip at upang mapanatili ang katinuan ng kaisipan, kailangang manalig tayo sa Diyos na may lalang.
Ayon sa salaysay ng manager Edith Guerrera ng Dona Josefa apartment at ng mga kapitbahay may naamoy silang masangsang na kemikal matapos na may pumutok at mula sa usok na nakita nila na nanggaling sa Room 603 at ang insidente ay nakarating sa kaalaman ng mga magigiting na pulis Maynila na nakatalaga sa Precinct Station no.9 (Intel Unit).
Sa isang panayam noong ika-6 ng Enero 1995. Tumawag ang Manager na si Edith Guerrera ng Dona Josefa apartment sa Police Station No. 9, malapit sa Manila Zoo. Naalarma ang mga kapit-bahay dahil sa masangsang na amoy at usok na nanggaling sa Room 603 ng Dona Josefa Apartment. Si Major Aida Fariscal ang nakatanggap ng tawag galing sa nababahalang Manager na si Mrs. Edith. Kaya dali-daling dinispatsa ang limang (5) pulis na sina: SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando Arce at kasama ang kanilang Chief Intel leader na si Major Aida Fariscal. Ang sunog ay naganap bandang alas-onse ng gabi sa DoƱa Josefa apartment sa silid numero 603. Si Major Aida D. Fariscal kilala sa tawag na “Wonder Woman” at isang eksperto sa mga kemikal ang sumugod kasama si SPO2 Benjamin P Abad, ang siyang umaresto kay Abdul Hakim Murad (Ahmeed Saeed) ng makasalubong sa elevator ay agad nitong tinutukan ng baril upang mapigilan ang tangkang pagtakas,
Isang posas ang ginamit ni P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad matapos ang sagupaan. Ang nasabing posas ay nag mula sa isang pares na sintas ng sapatos na itinali sa kamay at paa ni Abdul Hakim Murad na naganap ng 2:30 am. ng ika-7 ng Enero 1995. Kasamang natuklasan din ang mga kemikal, at mga likidong ginagamit sa paggawa ng mga bomba, mga relos na gamit sa pampasabog, tatlong (3) abito na may kasamang mga supistikadong mga maskara at laptop ni Ramzi Yousef na naglalaman ng mga impormasyon na siyang naging dahilan upang maaresto sila Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Wali Khan Amin Shah, at si Ramzi Yousef, taga-gawa ng bomba.
Ayon naman kay Epictatus, isang pilosopo. “Ang paglilingkod sa sariling bansa ay di nakasalalay sa posisyong taglay, ito’y may kinalaman sa paggamit ng mga abilidad at mga katangian pang spiritual”. Ang tunay na sukatan at karakter ng isang lingkod ng bayan ay kung paano nila pagmalasakitan ang mga kapus-palad. Huwag hayaang ang katanyagan ay magpabago sa ating karakter at ito ay iilan lamang sa mga nais iparating sa kabanata ng buhay ni P/LT Benjamin P. Abad.
