PBBM vows better protection, jobs for Filipino workers on Labor Day
MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Labor Day recognized Filipino workers as the
“As we face changing economic pressures, rest assured that this administration stands firm in defending the dignity of every Filipino by creating more and better jobs, boosting worker protection, and broadening pathways for all to succeed,” he said.
He said the Filipino workforce remains “at the heart” of the administration’s agenda in building a “stronger, more equitable, and more hopeful” Philippines.
“We honor every member of our workforce whose hands carry the weight of our shared future – whether at sunrise, beneath the noonday heat, or in the long hours when the nation sleeps,” he said.
“Even as technology advances and industries transform, one truth endures: it is the Filipino worker who drives the Philippines forward and keeps the world in motion. Through your grit and sacrifice, families find stability, and the country finds strength,” he added.
The commemoration of Labor Day, the President said, must serve beyond observance but as a platform where both public and private sectors reaffirm commitment “to build a country where hard work is rewarded and opportunity is real.”
“Together, let us fulfill this promise by fostering an environment that respects honest labor, safeguards livelihoods, and ensures that progress is accessible to ordinary families,” he said.
In a separate statement, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) conveyed similar message honoring all workers on May 1.
It shared that in every mission across the archipelago, it had witnessed the "quiet strength of the Filipino people, the determination to provide, to serve, and to move forward despite challenges."
"It is this same spirit that fuels our duty to protect, as we remain committed to safeguarding the peace that allows every Filipino to thrive. Saludo kami sa Manggagawang Pilipino (we salute the Filipino Worker)," it said. (With a report from Priam F. Nepomuceno/PNA)
